hi there everybody.

I swapped my bike for a semi showroom condition deluxe. It runs great, but I can't figure out the brakes on it. I have replaced the master cyl kit and bled the whole system. It still does not build pressure??? Am I missing something? The linings is still fairly good, and the drums is still ok. Any help will be greatly appreciated...

Congrats on finding great condition Deluxe! Is yours like mine?




Did you bleed the master cylinder before you bled the four corners? Just crack the fittings on the MC will do it (kind of messy though).

If the brakes worked before I'd say your calipers aren't stuck. That happens sometimes with old cars.

Finally be sure to manually adjust the rear brakes, this will result in the tight pedal. You turn the square stud on the back (see a 1200 repair manual for the process).
