The 2-stroke thread

Im being advised that the master cylinder may be worn out, negating the rebuilt plunger kit I put in. The brakes can be locked up but the fact I can two finger the lever to the bar is unsettling.

 

Oh, ya something is up then. You for sure still don't have the correct power / pressure if your lever is easily going to the bar, still. I've never had something like that happen, so I am not sure. Maybe someone else has some experience with that. I thought you meant that you had good lever feel but just didn't feel like it had enough stopping power, after the rebuild kit.

 

No its the complete opposite, the brakes work well (they bite with light pressure).

 

Ya that is odd. Hopefully someone else has some more feedback for you. I'd hate for you to keep throwing money at it and not getting it resolved. But there really isn't much more to replace lol.

I'm also wondering if you still have air in the lines and just need to try bleeding it again?

 

Bled an entire quart through it, definitely no air in there. Searching for reasonably priced parts is time consuming.

 

Assuming you bled both banjo bolts as well? I have heard Aftermarket plunger rebuilds are not so good.

 

I bled from top down using only the bleed screw on the caliper with vinyl hose (as I have with Tacoma brake flushes). Im not following how/why I would bleed with removing the bolts?

 

Bleed the top banjo by cracking it, squeeze lever, close bolt. Repeat several times. Same as bottom banjo. Then bleed screw. This will guarentee no air.

 

Sounds messy. I'll update after.

 

Here a picture of my 03 cr250

 

Just bought my first dirtbike since a 1978 honda 50 I had when I was 12 lol. Drove it today and holy fuck I might die lol this is a lot of bike

 

my new project. 1995 ktm 300 exc. Currently runs backwards

 

I'm trying to look for a 2002 yz250 here in California. Only reason is the green sticker.. I have a 02 yz125 along with an 05 yz250f that I want to ditch.. 125 isn't enough power and 250f is heavy

 

My 2013 YZ250 with updated plastic, and a few other mods.

 

1 of my fav styles of Suzuki. I loved that conventional fork, even though McGrath and some top pros didn't.

 

My new 2 stroke! Love it! Some much more low end then a cr125, and the power throughout is so smooth and controllable. 2006 KTM 200 xc-w

Still looking? It’s been a while, but I have what you want.
Love my two stroke. Set up for dunes in this pic

 

Ride all over northern California. Lots of time in Mendecino forest (middlecreek and stoneyford), Stanislaus Forrest (Twain Harte/Deer creek/Crandall Peak), Clear Creek, Cow Mountain, Hollister Hills, Pismo beach, etc.
