A spongy pedal is an indication that air is still present in the brake system. Follow proper brake bleeding procedures and sequences. Use a plastic mallet to lightly tap hydraulic components to help free entrapped air bubbles from inner walls of calipers and wheel cylinders.

The most common reason for low pedal after brake service is improper adjustment of the rear drum/shoe or disc brake assembly. See similar questions...

Vacuum pulls down the brake pedal gradually, with easy pressure, the same way you apply your brakes when driving. We use finesse pressure on the brake pedal because we activate the power assist. Our system pulls the pedal with only enough strength to halt the vehicle, just like you do when you drive. We never lock brakes, no other braking system does this. See similar questions...

lower cost brake pads wear or carbonise at temperatures found in braking, dust is released. Many pad manufacturers use materials that cause dust in their pads. EBC Greenstuff contains NONE of these, hence pads run cleaner. Greenstuff pads do not surface carbonise until 900-1000°F so in normal use dust is almost entirely eliminated. Any dust that is generated in performance use is easily wiped / washed away without damage to alloy wheels. See similar questions...

On the occasions it occurs it is usually in older systems (say pre 1990). It can be caused by new pads being overheated when new - the binding resins in the friction compound lift to the surface, glaze the pad and the points of squeal can be seen as polished areas. Remedy - deglaze the pad by flatting off say 0.5-1.00mm on a medium/fine abrasive paper. Then clean the disc similarly (or use wire wool/brake cleaner fluid) with a stroking motion following the 'grain' of the disc. See similar questions...

Possibly the brake rotors or drums are warped causing the vibration/pulsation. This can increase your stopping distance. The brakes should be inspected as soon as possible. Stop in today! There are a couple of possibilities. The serpentine belt could be bad, the belt tensioner could be worn out, or the noise could be coming from the water pump or the alternator. Please bring your vehicle in for an inspection right away. Many vehicles now have a cabin filter. See similar questions...

Just wish to confirm that my 750iL has had this same noise during my entire ownership. I tried three Dealerships and the gurus at the Oktoberfest without finding an explanation... I figure it has something to do with the servotronic steering or perhaps the braking system (pressure regulator?). I too feel it in the pedal. gt; From: Guy Therien <Guy_Therien_at_ccm2.hf.intel.com> > Subject: Brake Pressure Warning Message > gt; symptoms, the brakes work fine. See similar questions...

Nareman Virk asks why his clutch pedal sits higher than the brake pedal and squeeks when pressed. He also says that the warning light for low brake fluid keeps coming on. The brake and clutch fluid are shared. The brake fluid drains from the bottom of the tank and the clutch from about 1/2 way down. This ensures that if there is a fluid leak in the clutch then the brakes will always work. See similar questions...

Occasionally, a few Tigers comes from the factory with too little free play at the rear brake lever. When the bike is cold, the lever appears to have enough freeplay. However, when the pads/discs/fluid warms after a few applications, the fluid expands, pushes the master cylinder piston back, which uses up all the free play... . The rear master cylinder piston can't move any further, so the caliper piston obligingly moves for it, and the pads start dragging on the disc. See similar questions...

You either have a leak or your master cylinder is shot. Don't bother trying to rebuild the master cylinder, unless you have access to high precision tools. Mexican made replacements tend not to last long. Get the German OEM ones or the VW one (same thing, more $$$$). Incorrect cylinders installed (17mm vs 14 mm, they look very similar but make a 40% in brake pressure!) A high quality Lithium based grease with Molibdenum disulfide (MoS2) (all VW shops have switched to this). See similar questions...

Seems to be fairly common on RGV's now especially VJ22's. If you still have rubber hoses replace them with HEL braided lines. Maybe the master cylinder needs new seals, a re-seal kit is available from Suzuki. The end fitting should be steel and not alloy, stainless is recommended. Make sure you bleed the callipers and system correctly and thoroughly. There are various tricks and ways to do this. See similar questions...

For maximum foot stability your foot should be centered over the pedal (the arch of your foot is over the pedal). If you are wearing boots, you can place the heel of the boot against the pedal, giving you excellent stability.

Not really. You do have a choice. Although capable of pushing you along without help, electric bikes are designed to work with your pedalling. When you add light pedalling, you'll notice quicker acceleration, faster top speeds, and better pulling power. The average person who rides at 10 km/h on a standard bike can do 15-20 km/h on an e-bike with the same effort. See similar questions...

Generally we are able to rectify this problem if the cause can be identified; as with drainage, it can stem from a variety of conditions. See similar questions...
