Problem solved! I started working on the bike earlier tonight and just kept thinking the brake lever is just way too easy to pull, like there is no resistance on it whatsoever. So I looked where the lever pushes against the plunger on the master cylinder and noticed the plunger was stuck all of...
I guess I'm not sure what you mean by billet lining. Where did you tap at? The top of the master cylinder? That could be the problem. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for all of the responses. I'm not working on my bike today, but I will this week. For whatever reason, this issue happened when I changed the right side pads and not the left. I think that's where I'm going to concentrate first. As soon as I find something out, I will let you guys know.
Great advice, Fire-medic! I didn't realize I needed to clean the pistons but I think that may be the problem. If the pistons are stuck in, would the fluid somehow not build up pressure though? I think I have some brass bristle wheels somewhere but if I can't find them, I will probably get some...
Thanks for the reply! I kind of feel like that may be the problem. Except that I did have pressure when I changed the left side. I'm not sure why the right side would affect the pressure I had on the left side. I did not clean of the pistons. Do you think that they are stuck in the calipers? But...
Thank you for the response, Fire-medic.
Thank you for the response. That's what I was trying to say in my original post. I pumped the lever when I changed the left side pads and it built up pressure. But when I changed the right side, there was no pressure at all on the lever no matter what...
I've searched all over for my specific problem but can't find anything similar. This is in the front brakes. I changed the left side pads. Afterwards, I checked for brake pressure and everything was aok. I then changed the right side and checked for pressure again and nothing. Just feels like...
