You think the caliper can be dirty?

Tried that doing the same bull crap I had a shop center the axle on for me nothing helped. The brake is so mushy as compared to before it was amazing

Darn 78k

I have looked around the forums and no one seems to have the same problem as me. I got the fork seals changed and put the forks in the top triple trees evenly. But it seems to me the axle is not on evenly. Example when I press the front brake there is no pressure and I can see the front wheel...

Right it's tough to find out here. Cleaned the inlet and everything works, guess I had to fully understand how the float and needles work together. Sometimes it's the simplest things that fix it.

Sorry been working on the damn thing all day I'll have to clean out underneath thag seat and yes. I'm Chicago area all gas stations have ethanol. Any gas additive to counter balance that?

Carb inlet being where at specifically?

You think I need a new Mc? Or do the old trick where u leave it engaged over night

I can get the nut on the rod. I think the splines might be off because when we first got the bike the footpeg fell past the little notch to keep it up. I can keep toying with it.

1. So I just recently did a quick restoration of the front caliper as well as adding some ss lines to it. Bled the system and everything is ok but every once in a while the front brake will feel squishy almost to the point to where I can easily pull it to the handle bar. 2. I also recently...
