Rear brake leaking

[razortrike]

I have the motortrike razor kit. Had the master cylinder recall done. Now fluid is beading (slowly) under the caliper. All bleed values are tight and the lines are not leaking. Could they have done something to cause this because it was not leaking when I took it in. Thanks

I kind of doubt they could have. Are you 100% positive one of the bleed valves is not seeping just a tiny bit? Clean them off real good with brake parts cleaner then really stand on the brake peddle for a little while. Then go back and check the valves again with a piece of tissue paper. Good luck with the fix !! :xszpv: :xszpv:

That is a good idea and will try that. I don"t think seals would go out that quick. Had it 4 years and 15000 miles. Thanks

Some calipers bolt together in the middle, and occasionally a leak is cause from the seals between the halves.

You can also use 'Powder Spray'. Wipe the caliper clean and spray the powder on it and any leaks will be caught in the powder before they can drip away. This is what I use to find leaks that like to play hide 'n seek.

Thanks for all your help everyone. Yes Goldrush one of the bleed valves was barely snug not tight. The motortrike caliper has 4 and I thought it only had 3. Tightened it down and now not leaking. Thanks again.

Glad you got that one fixed without a whole lot of problem. Hopefully it didn't let any air in the system.. :xszpv: :xszpv:
