Re: [ST] Brake Cleaning

[Matthew Heyer <matthewheyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

And I assume you've tried a brake bleed?  The Speedmasters and Americas had this issue from the factory - brake bleed fixed it.  (I had an '04 Speedmaster and my father has an '04 America).  Could be the problem on the new ST's you pulled the lever on.

Brett,
In my opinion the 05 and 06 have some kind of design issue in the brake feel
department. I tried both an ABS and non-ABS on the showroom and they both
had the squishy feel. I didn't want to try, but I'm sure I could squeeze
the lever to the grip. That ain't right, if you know what I mean. There
have been other threads on this point on a couple other Triumph sites too.
One guy claimed his dealer fixed it but didn't explain how. At least on the
04 and below you can make it go away for long periods of time.

Tomorrow I'm going to pull the calipers and do the evil deed on them. I'm
just going to do the push, pull and blast with brake cleaner method till it
warms up in the garage a bit.
Happy New Year
Rod
