So I was having an issue w/ the amount of travel on the front brakes of my 91 Vmax. The rear brake seemed to be ok. Well, I attempted to bleed the front brakes w/ no success at getting any better "feel" from them. No better, no worse. I then attempted to bleed the rear, which, for some reason, now I have zero pressure. I spent about 5 hours messing with them on Saturday. I'm at the point where I'm taking it to a local dealer to get them checked out.
My question is, the bike was serviced back in March (previous owner) for the same issue. The brakes were bled, and the invoice notes from the tech state that after the bleeding, there was no issue. Do you think that it's the front master cylinder? I don't want to pay to have the brakes bled, only to have to bleed them, then have them go soft in 4 mos, replace the master cylinder, then pay to have them bled again. Also, should I go ahead and pay to have the lines replaced while having the work done? The lines are the oriignal and I'm concerned that they may possibly be the culprit in the first place.
I'm just a little frustrated. Sorry for the long post.
