That is one messed up brake lever..

@OnTheThrottleTV Cheers Dave - thanks for your response, it makes sense!
-
the air gap is exactly for that - fluid expansion.

I noticed you didn't use the bleed nipples on the caliper to remove the old fluid? Is that just for speed in getting the job done?

@mugget in getting the job done the focus is on installation. The brakes then have to be bled to get the air out of the lines and in so doing ll the old oil is removed from the calipers that way.

So is the air gap just so that it has room to expand under heat?
MrMattriddell 1 year ago
@MrMattriddell Not sure if that is the main reason, but also because the bladder when re-assembling will take up a fair bit of the space in there.
I know when doing the brakes on my K6 Gixxer Thou the rear fluid reservoir especially didn't take as much fluid as I thought - the bladder just takes up alot of room so when you look at when re-assembled the level is good.

@mugget the bladders on the reservoirs are only put in place once the bleeding is complete. Otherwise they will expand taking up a lot of room as the brakes are bled. Yes, the rear brake takes a very small amount of fluid!

@MrMattriddell yes, exactly for that reason. We see so many reservoirs completel full and then witness front wheels locking up completely once the brakes have been used a few times.
