    Rear brake all soft and no fluid spills

    Hi there, I’ve kept the bike in storage over winter and today I got around to taking it out and doing some service on it, oil etc. What I noticed was that the rear brake has gone all soft, its as if there is no brake fluid in the system and at the same time I’ve not found any fluid...

    Rear brake 2016 R3

    Jumped on my 2016 Roadster, she’s been sitting for a year. My 2023 Chrome Edition became my first choice. Anyway, got half a mile down the road, rear brake pedal, no pressure, no brake. The MC fluid is at perfect level. Wonder if anyone has an idea before I ride it 25 miles to dealer.

    Soft rear brake after recall

    It hasn't been very long since I had the rear master cylinder recall done and it's already back to the soft pedal again on first pump. It pumps up quicker and hasn't failed, but I don't think the air intrusion problem has been fully resolved. Just be sure to pump them up real good, like you...

    New Brake Recall!

    Hey everyone, there is a new brake recall here in the US (hopefully everywhere) for the rear brake issue many of us have experienced. They are replacing the rear brake master cylinder with a new, larger one. Apparently the NHTSA started investigating this in March of 23. I complained to them in...

  8. Rear brake bleeding

    Hello, I am doing a mid-peg modification, basically fitting the 3R pegs on to a 3GT bike. It all seems pretty straightforward, however I need to break into the rear brake line, which means I will no doubt introduce air into my rear brakes. I noticed that the rear brake line proceeds from the...

    Rear Brake Rotor

    Well I have been lucky so far with no problem with the mushy rear brake many have experienced but the rotor is loose and sloppy on the bolts and will need to be replaced. I have a new one on order and should be back to normal this week I hope. Anyone else experience this issue? I have a 2020...

    Not Happy! 3rd brake bleed required.

    So before I bought my 2020 Rocket it was on the showroom floor for around 8 months. I kept trying to lowball them and they kept declining. After 8 months they threw in the Panniers and rack and dropped the price a few cents so I bought it. I asked, after reading on this forum about rear brake...

    Rear brake gone.

    Looks like a regular complaint. Checked mine to see if it was in the recall group. Nothing there. Its been back to the dealership twice now. 8 hours of my life that I wont get back.

    ASV BRC550 + CRC550 brake/clutch levers 2020 R

    Hi has anyone ever fitted and ASV levers? I have fitted mine to a 2020 rocket 3 R and they fit but the clutch lever is a totally different shape. It bends the clutch dip switch massively! I have spoken with ASV and they can’t help! But I have seen them fitted on other forums, I have re shaped...

    rear brake bleed

    i am fitting a new rear brake switch and would like to know how easy is it to bleed the rear brake , my mechanic friend is a bit dubious about doing the brake bleed he is saying it might be easier to fit a pull switch connected to the brake pedal ?? i am not in favour of that idea

    Front Brake Clicking Noise

    Hey all. Picked up the new ride yesterday and I noticed when moving it around in the garage a clicking noise when I release the front brake. I plan on putting it on the lift to dive deeper into the issue but from a quick look at the calipers and rotors it all looks good. Any ideas ?

    R3R mountig of the rear brake disc

    Hi guys, check the mounting of the rear brake disc. There is a material problem with some brake discs. There is a play in the direction of rotation of the brake disc.
