Hi all

The front brakes on my srad dont feel right, kind of spongy even after topping up with extra brake fluid Confused.

Any thoughts?

Cheers Thumbs Up.

Better topping them up with brake fluid than oil. Wink

They probably just need bleeding, that's the best place to start.

Is it particularly hard/time consuming to bleed the brakes?

Easier with two people, should take 15 minutes with just a milk bottle, some tubing, spanner and screwdriver.

This will give you an idea. Clicky Thumbs Up
