Hi All,
I have recently had a problem with my front brake which was caused by the caliper mounting bracket bending / warping.
The bracket that mounts the caliper to the front fork was bent slightly which put the brake out of allignment, causing it to break its seals and fail.
My mechanic reckons that the design of the front brake caliper mount is not good for such a large machine. For now I will source a new bracket but its likely to happen again at some point right?
Has anyone had this problem?
Is it common?
Is there anyway to up rate the front braking mechanism so you have either a) more braking power or b) a better mounted caliper that won't warp its bracket and fail?
Thanks guys, appreciate your time...
