hey folks just wondering if anyone has any insight on what I can do to loosen the front brake on my '83 CB650 SC? I bought it as a learning project and so far I've gotten it from dead to running.. fixed electrics.. fixed carbs.. but I am sort of clueless on hydraulic brakes & clutch.
The clutch has a really short engagement which feels twitchy.. I am okay with that, but ideally would like to smooth out the feel of the pull on the handle. It feels pretty stiff. The front brake I am really unhappy with. I can barely pull the handle in more than a couple cm (about an inch) and it's fully engaged. I also think it's the culprit of some squeaking noises I hear when rolling the bike in neutral. When I bought the bike I was told the brakes were brand new.. but considering the complete monkey job I saw in the carbs (all jets completely closed, set fully lean, spark plugs were burning white hot,) I am feeling like I need to take a look at this. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
