Remove the caliper from the bracket. Turn it so that the bleed nipple is at the top. Now put a wood block between the pads to a aluminum or steel plate. Now bleed the cylinder. It will respond like it should. After it is bled remount it on the bracket. When you are bleeding it for the FIRST time, the bleed nipple has to be at the top. About the clutch. I had that same problem building my bike the clutch handle seemed normal but would not go into gear. I took the clutch cover off and took out the clutch plates. None of the plates were stuck together. I put it back together. I started it up and put it into gear and it works.   Logged     Last Edit: 2015/08/04 13:46 By LuckyDon.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #910501 RedneckRoadie (User) Hold my beer and watch this....

I spent about $1100 overall Damn, that's awesome that you were able to do it that cheap. Certainly beats the hell out of the $3500+ price tag that Coyote wanted for their full bobber frame kit. So how well does it get down the road with the right side drive now?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #910509 bnag0 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1360 Re:Brent's Roadie Bobber - Continued 2 Years, 6 Months ago   The first gear issue was the kickstand switch and thats all set. I do take the caliper off when bleeding but the issue i think is my master cylinder. I even bought a new rebuild kit for it but for whatever reason the fluid in the reservoir is not making it into the master cylinder the reservoir is clear and so is the line. Our master cylinder has a plastic fitting on it that i blew out with air and it doesnt seem to be clogged.... anyone else have this issue?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #910510 bnag0 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1360 Re:Brent's Roadie Bobber - Continued 2 Years, 6 Months ago   RedneckRoadie wrote: bnag0 wrote: As some of you might know the bike is ridable but still a few things to work out before i can get that "GOOD TO GO" sticker slapped on the side of my bike...

So how well does it get down the road with the right side drive now? Everything is lined up pretty good. I don't really feel a difference although my gear ratio is "quicker" so it feels like it hauls ass lol. I can keep up with my brothers 600RR right around 65mph but after that hes gone. The rigid frame is definitely different but i am super happy I went through with it.... i just absolutely love the look.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #910545 LuckyDon (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2127 Re:Brent's Roadie Bobber - Continued 2 Years, 6 Months ago   I had to take two calipers apart that would not bleed and the pistons were really stuck hard. Had to use air pressure to get them apart. Be careful to not get hit with a flying piston!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #910705 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:Brent's Roadie Bobber - Continued 2 Years, 6 Months ago   I had a bad piston seal in my rear master that would suck the fluid right back in. Almlst like the seal was rolling inside the master.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #911058 bnag0 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1360 Re:Brent's Roadie Bobber - Continued 2 Years, 6 Months ago   So i think either the feed hole or return hole is clogged in the top of the master cylinder causing the issue.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #949212 bnag0 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1360 Re:Brent's Roadie Bobber - Continued 2 Years ago   Oh the brake return hole was clogged BTW lol Final touches before Daytona...

They look great. If you had the time and patience you could weld some 1/8 inch round rod around the edges.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #950101 bnag0 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1360 Re:Brent's Roadie Bobber - Continued 2 Years ago   Daytona To Do List: Hook up my new rear brake reservoir Bleed Rear Brake Safety Wire Rear Brake Line Change Oil and Filter Figure Out Where to put my new Knots gauge Design and make a bracket for the knots gauge Figure out where to put my tach (on bars i think) Paint and wrap my old dump pipes to take as backup   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
