Disk rotor brake line in front, support came off. By adamhoyer (Read 1,359 times)

Did a little inspection of my brake line underneath the front of my scooter looks like the support clip came off on the very top one, looks like three in all but the 3rd was laying on the ground almost. Where should the brake line sit? On in front of the steering bearing?

Was thinking this might work, any thoughts if I might have it wrong? new pics 1drv.ms/1nGsclV

My method has been to try and let the line go where it wants, it's over 18 and I'm sick of it hanging around and not paying rent or buying groceries! Oh wait....that was my kids. The brake line! I'm sick of it! Really, I let them find a low physical stress path and try to approximate that with zip ties. Make sure it doesn't bind when you turn the fork. Other than that, tell it to start paying rent, it'll start acting right...oh yeah. Rich

I'm almost one of those kids, 23 still living with my parents, but I buy my own food and drink.  Don't know what this means but I hope nothing bad. lol

The smiley hitting the mule's junk?! It's bad Adam....I shouldn't have to tell you that. You buy your own food and drink!? You can come live at my house. But this is the pre-meal ceremony:

That's a video of Mandi and Pete when they were 12 and 14.....and then again at 16 and 18.....and then last week. I can't get Pete to quit dressing with the blue hair bow.....that concerns me. Rich

Okay an update on the Hydraulic brake line, she is still jerking me to the right when I press hard on the front brake. How do I fix this and make sure it brakes properly?  And I called to ask how much a brake line would cost, 30$ and if he put it on 68$ an hour LOL!

Okay, talked to a mechanic and he said, "The caliper bushings need to be replaced.

Bought these because my front brake is wobbling, mechanic said they could be worn and will case it to wobble.

[Bashan]

Yeah....wobble, but pull to the side? I wouldn't think so. You don't have two front wheels to set up a differential between the two wheels pulling differently. Usually if you're pulling to one side when braking with a bike it's an alignment between the wheels problem or the fork. Also, a more common explanation for the wobble is the rotor is warped. The calipers are going to squeeze the rotor and if it squeezes unevenly it shouldn't make the wheel wobble. Warped rotors are very common on Chinese bikes. The only bikes it never did that on my Sinos was the CF Motos, their rotors are on steroids. Rich

[adamhoyer]

Just changed my rotor like a two weeks ago and still wobbles after that, spun my front wheel and it looked like the middle line moves and does not spin straight.

Sprayed brake cleaner on the caliper and it seems to have fixed the problem. I will keep you updated.
