Non abs is what I have.

Mine are non-ABS as well. Nothing different about the bleeding procedure between the two from what I could tell.

Saw that too - mines NON abs.... thanks though.

Ken, did you pull the secondary front master cylinder off (the caliper) and tilt it as the book instructed? I re-read something this morning that reminded me the book said to do that. If air is trapped right there, you will have issues.

Not sure - I was holding the flashlight at that time.......... Ok - I keed....... YEs - I believe Carver did the 45 degree tilt angle deal on that. He's going to chime in shortly.

Do it by hand once till you get good fluid out of the proportioning valve, then go back and do it with vacuum pump. I didn't have this problem when I installed my Galfers, but I did when I bled the entire system by hand once. No rear brake on first push but good on second.

Clear fluid is coming out of the proportion valve - AND the front secondary master. no bubbles. must have pushed a litre through those two valves last night. problem still there after.

Installed the Galfer Stainless lines onto my 02' a couple nights ago with CornerCarver - and proceeded to use the methods posted here on VFRD for bleeding the lines, but can't seem to get the LInked brakes portion to firm up. Front brakes are spectacular - no issues to complain about there.

Problem lies within the secondary front master cylinder that sends fluid to the proportion valve (Non ABS) and then on to the back caliper. (we think).

Using a vacuum pump via air compressor, speed bleeders all around, and not sure what to try next. The rear pedal is soft on the first pump then firms up on the 2nd and better still on the 3rd.

How do we get this system to firm up on the first pedal push?

Anyone experience the same issue after installing completely dry lines all around?

thanks in advance.

Talk about a delayed response (on my behalf!) - NO - no inline fuse required.

Hurry up and fix them brakes! Haha!

Yeah, brakes are important. Slightly.

Brakes just slow ya down!

Corner Carver kept saying that last night. LOL - and he made sure that you were getting the credit for it!

I sent him a PM through a different board.

Maybe his in box here is full. I know he's a stand up guy.

Bob is a stand up guy for sure - however Lee...... not so sure.......... Bwhahaha!!!!

Ahhhh - memories of the last dozen TMAC's flying through my head.........

If Sangria is on the premises - it is IMPERATIVE that some mechanical activity take place under the front stoop of the motel - with countless volunteers wrenching on random bikes.

If the blender appears, make sure that Corner Carver serves appropriately flavored Mint Julips - as well as Margharitas - and then try more mechanical enhancements - it usually works out just fine......

And lastly - if a tire needs to be changed - EVERYONE must forage in the adjacent wood lot for lumber to help break the bead on the tire - its best to simply avoid this situation - and stick with some Canadian beer or Whiskey - while others rip layers of flesh from their knuckles....

I will be there in spirit with you fine people - hoping to see some awesome videos posted of 28, pics of riding and motel shenanigans, and of course the Saturday night event - I hope its a blast for everyone.

Congratulations!! All the best for a happy life together!

Very Fun Reading!!!! sorry- i know - cheesy........ .

It would be amazing to see your photography in action at the TMAC event....... ask Baileyrock to free up some funding and have him bring you in for the event. He might even have gas money for you !! You might even find a Marmot or two...... or a hillbilly - same diff.

Awesome RR's and thanks for sharing them.

Although I"ll be absent this year - I've got some Motorcycling books to send - for those that can read....... and I should have the 5th Gen Solo racks rolling by then - I'll donate one of those also. I have some time to raid my marketing swag treasure chest as well.

Thanks Warwomen, for taking this part of the TMAC festivities on.

Someone in the I.T. world......... needs to figure out how to rig up a live feed from the Saturday night event for those of us that can't be there in person!! House - you gonna be there? Nudge nudge,.,,,

This knob?

Yeah - it's CornerCarver Moto GP'ing in my garage.....

Hope he didn't crash and explode into flames - ENZED style........ LOL. My guess is underinflated rear tire.

Llifesaver - I can't be sure - but i think I might have purchased a K&N Air filter from you years ago...... if it was you - and if that filter came from that bike - be sure to get a filter for it!! LOL.

Welcome back to VFRD - get the bike back together and ride it. It isn't a garage princess - so why try to pressure yourself to make it that way. ? ANd - you're in NOrth Carolina - and youve ridden it 200 miles in 7 years? THAT REALLY HURTS !!! I get to NC once a year - I'd kill to have your roads!!

Welcome aboard! We suffer the winter "blues" as well - almost time to get back on the streets though. NIce bike!!

We have em in Canada though! ASk member DUDE....

***** Quick update - I have 6th Gen Solo Racks ready to go - and am still waiting for my powdercoater to let me know when I can get my order slotted in. Hope to have a more firm date for the 5th GEn folks real soon.

PM me for ordering info - and thanks for the nice comments about the useage of my racks - you guys can be ruthless when something fails - so it means even more when you give a glowing report!

Must be the time of year - two members ordered 6th gen racks in the last day or two - come on Spring!!!!

I have the NoMar Jr Pro. Used it two weeks ago to fix some rim leaks on my moms car. Worked great as usual. I looked briefly for a used coats type but decided hat the NoMar was perfect for my need. It's portable as well.....

In my absense this year - someone will have to assist TIMMY in the quest for the perfect "Honey Badger Ride"...... It may include more than one ride - in fact it usually involves the whole time spent there......... Damn I wish I could go.........

vacuum leak perhaps? a hose not reconnected ?

Someone seems excited by this.........

I'm planning to build 25 or 30 racks. Guess i should get a sign up list going.......

as stated in the PM I responded to - check the airbox for a mouse house, and by any chance could you have bad gas - or some water in it? (too much fiber......... LOL)

5th Gen Solo Racks are going back into production. I hope to have them in stock in April. Price will be in around the $155 USD range - and will include bolts, spacers, shipping and instruction sheet.

FYI - a package I sent to SIngapore NOvember 8 2014, just arrived today - 10 weeks later. SO for those that want one sent overseas from Canada - please be aware of shipping times.

I'll start a new thread once I get more definitive on a delivery date or the 5th Gen Racks. I still have 6th Gen racks for anyone that wants to buy one. $140 USD shipped.
