BREAK FLUID WELL WINDOW LOW

[Deleted]

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL and for each of you i pray it is a good one, remember to live smart as you can in these up coming years things are changing fast, so try to change faster!



I am trying after letting it sit for 5 months, trying to trace a short or bad ground as nothing happens when i turn the key on, with my new bigger 8 amp battery

before i got started i noticed a lot of play in the right break handle, pulled sun deflecting tape off view glass and saw i was 2 thirds empty in the window.

no leak on floor, but break is way to weak to ride it.

any ideas as to what happen here.

also to the new folks i see here, you are at the most unique forum on the net and welcome

ALSO BIG GROOVY CONGRATS ON GETTING YOUR BIKE TOGETHER

ps  any body got a hint on a short problem that gos away when i bump front bike tire  against a wall

engine keep running but gas Gage and break lights go dead??

then when i turn it off starter motor won't turn


Ride safe and ride wise

If there is no leak that you can see check your pads to make sure there not wore down too much
Could be a bad seal in the master or caliber if the pads are good

Yeah, as pads wear down the fluid level drops. May be all you need to do is put some fresh brake pads on it.

As to the short, I was sort of having the same problem with my Hyosung. I took the plastics off the handle bars and noticed one of the connectors for the wiring (think it was with the break wires) was loose. Reconnected, then secured the connector together with electrical tape and haven't had a problem since.

It may not be there, but perhaps it is a loose connector. I have found with my Hyosung it's the simple stuff that I don't even think to check (I usually expect the worst) that is usually the culprit (that loose connector, blown fuse...etc).

if you just replace brake pad when you lever the caliper pistons back the fluid will return to the reservior
I run an earth wire between both sets of switches on the bars and another earth from that wire to the battery
I have also shifted the starter solenoid closer to the battery so its got a 10 inch battery cable less voltage drop
I have a friend that tells me my scooters are easy to start
