Front Brake lever judder

Post by shipley manx »

On My NC35 the brakes give the feeling of being uneven, but the clock gauge says otherwise. Somebody says that the brake lever can give this feeling.Anybody else heard of this. Took the rubber boot of the end of the front master cylinder and cleaned it out, seemed to help a little. Any advice from any body.

Try the pins in the front calipers, just take them out and have a look if they have any grooves in them and if so new ones arent that much.

maybe check the anti rattle spring in each caliper......is the disc warped?,axle bent,check the bolts or maybe even the wheel bearings or a fecked front wheel.......possible causes.

I used to get a bit of lever judder when they weren't bled properly, i.e. air at the master cylinder.
