brake bleeding
I have a 150 2R Carter Brothers Talon. After bleeding the brakes- I did not bleed before install as you suggested, but thought all was bled. I noticed the brake switch/ignition link is on the right side piston, which also supplies the rear disc brake. As I loosened the threaded brake switch, pushed down the pedal, tightened the switch back, released pedal 50 times or so... I noticed tiny bubbles venting from the bottom of the right side of the MC. It struck me that even though I thought I had the brakes bled, there was air trapped around the brake switch that was not working and not totally bled. I just re-bled from the rear disc with my vacuum bleeder, and boom, all is well. Works perfectly. The clue was the bubbles in the MC when I pressed and released the brake pedal. Thanks much for the help.
