Hey Guys,
Been browsing for a while an figured i would join.
I am having some brake problems with my 2000 SP 500. When i use the foot pedal there are no brakes. The caliper doesnt engage or anythig. When i use the handle the caliper engages but doesnt disengage. I have to open it up with a screw driver. But i can tell not much pressure is being put on the rotor. I have tried bleeding it once and that did nothing. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.
