Can any one tell me if the front brakes should be what I can only call soft. When you brake the lever comes a long way back, I have bled the brakes but it has made no difference. Not being a long time biker I am not sure if this is standard. Having dropped the bike recently (and had a one off paint job done in absolute purpleen) I don't want to fall of and scratch the thing again.

P.S where in Surrey/ Hampshire does any one meet up?

How old is the bike and does it have origonal rubber break lines fitted? They may be fooked....

For a start , they are known for having utterly ste brakes..

The master cylinder just isnt up to the job.

They are also known to be an utter ba$tard to bleed properly.


Get the calipers cleaned out , if its been around you may find a few seized pistons , get braided hoses fitted and use a set of Bendix pads..No others compare .

If you end up needing any caliper spares or exchange at very reasonable prices , I can put you in contact with a guy in Devon who turns them round very quickly.

Also sells braided hoses at excellent prices

One more thought ,

Common problem when peeps bleed their brakes on the Busa , they open the bleed valve too much and air creeps in , just a tad is enough
