Help Please

I believe u are in the wrong type of forum, this is a debt forum.

I know that. I was just thought someone might be able to help me.

did you bleed the line properly?that is key to replacing calipers.

btw,the pub forum is for all issues.not just debt concerns.

Here is the thing. I just found out that the front driver side brake is not working and the rear passenger side is not working either. This tells me that this "circuit" is not working. Would that indicate the master cynlidar????

We have bled all four wheels several times.

if no other problems like the lines are ok,then yes the master cylinder it is.

Thanks paul - I will be ordering one online tomorrow and hopefully that will solve the problem. It is hard to get to work when you don't have a car. Need to get this problem fixed. I have been riding my motorcycle and it is getting very cold.

Relax, huh? He's asking in the Pub. Nothing wrong with that.

Was the right/rear brake working previously? If so, I'd lean toward air in the line. Have you flushed the lines out?? Gonna have to do that eventually, anyway.

What part of the country do you live in, and what bike do you ride? I'm still riding my VS1400 daily. And I'm in Vermont!

Unc - we have bled the lines many times - one at a time and all 4 at the same time. I am not sure if the rear wheel was working or not.

Anyways, I live in Northern NY (canadian border north) very close to vermont so we have the same type of weather. It only takes me about 4 hours driving to get to vermont border. It is very cold but you have to do what you have to do in order to get by I guess.

Do you have cold weather riding gear? Makes a huge difference in comfort and safety.

I have not been able to afford cold riding gear so I just dress in layers. Maybe next year I will beable to get some. In fact I was going to ride to work today but it called for Lake Effect Snow so I thought that would not be a good idea.

Update on the brake problem - Damn I am good. I had 3 grown men working on this problem and I (a woman) kept telling them it was the master cylinder. So finally my husband went out and got a MC and viola the brakes work now. Do not ever underestimate the power of a woman on a mission.

I am so relieved becuase I could not afford to get a new car. I do not need the car payment right now.

sorry to have offended, just thought perhaps he thought he was in a different site, trying to help, sorry

Don't sweat it, PG! :lol:

No offense taken!!!!!!!

Hey, I was impressed with the conversation and even managed to learn a thing or two! Which isn't much, considering I know absolutely nothing about cars.

Makes me want to go out and repair something.

Of course, not being mechanically inclined at all, I'd only manage to make it even more broken.

Stop it, Ron! You're scaring me........

Probably not half as much as I scared myself, though.

:D
