I have been VERY unhappy with my foot brake. I have taken it to the dealer twice for the same thing, but they can't find the problem . Feels like mush when I first hit the thing, but after a pump, feels firm like it should. Gets worse as the brakes heat up. This product might work for me..
Hey Rinkopr,
Just a few comments, mostly about procedure,
(in case the dealer mechanic is having an off day)
hoping it's just the fluid, and this will help with your problem.
That heating up part sounds like some moisture in the rear brake system.
When it gets hot the moisture makes it worse.
We put a vacuum bleeder on the line and pulled about a quart of new brake fluid
through to flush out the system and that got the mush out of the brakes on a problem case.
There are a bunch of places to bleed the brakes on a Wing with F/R proportioning and anti-dive.
and you have to go through them in the right order to be effective.
You have to be careful to use a newly opened container of brake fluid that has been sitting quiet
for some hours and poor it in slow and steady so air bubbles don't get in the mix.
(Never shake brake fluid or put it in the system if it's been shaken.)
It can take a long time to work the bubbles of air out,
especially if there were a lot of small bubbles trapped in the fluid,
as they tend to stick to the sides of the lines and in corners of the reservoirs.
Hope it's just fluid problems. Good Luck.
