EASY FIX for Spongy Motorcycle Brakes. Air trapped in the brakes?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- A spongy brake lever, or a brake lever which has to be pulled a long way before you feel the brake start to work, is a sure sign of air trapped in the brake system. Some brakes can be more troublesome to bleed than others.
Thanks for watching.
I own a few motorcycles like the KTM Duke 390, KTM RC 390, Suzuki GSXR 1000, Suzuki GSX 1100F and Yamaha R1. I love DIY on my motorcycles. Thanks for watching. My Facebook Page: www.Facebook.com/Vikas.Rachamalla

So there is an engineering tech behind this magic trick.
By this trick you were compressing the brake fluid inside the whole braking mechanism such as brake lines, master cylinder, and caliper. Since, fluid is not compressible, the air inside them will get compressed. As a result, they(air) will try to escape out from those whole compressed area. So therefore the air will be escaped through very very tiny gaps in the places like brake caliper and the master cylinder etc. So that is why it need a whole long night.
Brilliant idea.
Really an amazing magic trick.
Very informative too.
Thumb up👍 vikas bro for this video.
AA. Vignesh vicky unemployed?
Vikrant Chaudhary yes. engineering. Student bro😂😜
AA. Vignesh vicky thanks for the science behind it yar .. ;)
Does the air escape even tho the cylinder is closed?
Master cyl has rubber seal. If the air escapes thru the master...so wouldnt there be faulty in the master cyl or the rubber seal?
So I was mad skeptical, but I did it last night, and that junk actually worked. Appreciate the magic trick.
Just attempted this last night and it solved my issue. My brake feels 'firm' again. Thanks for taking the time to share this valuable 'pro-tip' for all of us DIY'ers. :D
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
I bled my brakes on my 04 R1 last night and could not get the air out of the front brakes. I saw your video and tried your trick. I actually checked them after about 12 hours as suggested and could already notice a huge difference. So i retied the lever and left while i was at work and came back and they are perfect! Thanks for this!
Ima try ur trick just like u did
I've been watching your videos for a long time. But the thing is you put so much effort making the videos and we learn so many things which we would never knew if it wasn't for you. But I feel so broken after knowing that you only have about 110k subscribers. And when you say that people not subscribed are missing out about 600+ videos and all makes me sad. Well sir keep doing the magic that you always do, keep making awesome videos and never give up🤗.
did it for 3hrs and it brought back some pressure for sure. Doing it for the full 12hrs on a bike that sat for 24 years. Thanks for this!!
Thank you that is brilliant!!
This worked on my ktm 640e after a years hibernation.
The front brake felt like a clutch!!
I left the bandage on the lever for 48 hours.
Absolutely amazed at the result! The brake is now as good as it was before!
Saved me loads of time against bleeding the brakes
Thanks again
It works! I did this on my KTM dirt bike. I had a soft front brake lever feel. About to go ride the next morning and needed something fast. I used a zip tie and left it on the brake lever over night. I would say 95% better 👍🏻👍🏻
Mine is really spongy.. I hope it will fix it!
@@motocrossisawesome9049 did it fix it???
Yeah and then it get back again...
Got stuck last night after trouble shooting a not functioning leaking brake with a spongy one, in spite of bleeding the line. Did as advised and after getting up checked. And voila.... the magic worked! Very clever, thanks a lot, great help to the biking communkty!! :)
I cannot even miss one video, that's how awesome your channel is.
Done this last night on my AS200 and it works like magic ! Thank you legend
Vikas you beautiful man. I bled the front brake on my ktm dirt bike for an hour with no luck. I was just about to take it apart and curse at all the parts individually, when I saw your video. The lever went from total collapse on every pull, to feeling tight and brand new after 10 hours of your bounding technique. Cheers Brother!
I am very happy that this worked for you buddy! Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe. Happy new year!
That parking of yours looks like a proper Garage for bikes!
I've done it on three different bikes now and it worked on all of them. Thank you.
Renewation of your house... Now it's perfectly a Bike lover's house
Awesome
Just tried this and Wow.... No more brake pedal travel. Brakes feel so solid now.... Many thanks
Vikas never makes videos for numbers. Making videos is his passion.
love this, was seeing guys do that on different channel but didn't know why
I love this kind of solution, you just pull a simple trick and let time do the job, suits me well
I tried it on my CBR600RR and it worked! Thank you so much
Ahh, I am very happy to know. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
I tried this and it worked! My front brake was super weak the other night, my bike sits outside in Las Vegas and the heat and we've had storms recently, I assume that had something to do with it going soft. I tied it overnight and today it's working again! Thanks so much!
tied the brake lever down for 14 hrs. it works on ABS brakes better than bleeding , ur the best ! thanks so much , less work , no mess
Excellent idea brother. I really don't know how to thank you. I have a Kawasaki z750. I was trying to fix my spongy brakes but I could not. your great idea helped me. Bless you.
This trick works like a charm ❤️
Thank you so much for this video I was about to pay 14k for abs motor in Yamaha service centre as my brake was getting air-locked even after master cylinder replacement but after trying it my bike brake feels like new one.
Tried this last night
I did not 5honl this would work and it does much more stronger feel on the leaver and I can now back of clicks on the lever awesome idea thanks man
Nice clear instruction! I ve bled the rear brake 3 times but still the brake becomes spongy after 30min riding. Just curious tho..where would the air go then if the brake is tied up over nite?
master cylinder
Bro I've tried it on my RS200 it works, I can feel the difference in braking thanks for the tip😊.Bro then I have a request - kindly make track videos for beginners
Sir thank u very much your trick worked... actully i have broken the bleeder nut in my karizma r and has fixed m seal on it so there was no way to remove air completly....was not able to bleed the brakes and brakes were very spongy i applied your trick and left if over night and i had my brakes tightend and restored perfectly all thanks to you or else i was planning for replacment of front disc assembly which was very costly but u saved me...❤❤❤❤❤❤
Vikas bhai, You are a legend. You have such a good mind to tell such rare valuable things that no one will tell us. I really appreciate your passion, experience and care for others. Keep going brother.
It works. Wow amazing can't believe it.last time I need to pump twice the lever to make a good brake but now one is enough
Great video I followed what you said on my Kawasaki KZ900 and it does work perfectly thanks.
Thank u sooo much bruh for such a valuable tips video❤️ ! In a 3 years, for the 1st time KTM RC 200 had a spongy rear brakes due to 0% brake oil level ! It took so long for me to keeping pumping the brakes to release the air lock and then finally used this magic trick where I left it tied over night which gave me 100% result of wat I expected ! Ones again thank u Vikas bruh❤️ ! Keep doing wonderful stuff 💯

Will this work for rear brake pedal as well ? If I put any weight on rear brake pedal ?
Most important video thanks thanks so much i hate that spongyness on my duke
Yes.. it really works... Thank you...
Worked on my Ducati X Diavel rear brakes. I had given up on it. Thanks a lot.
Interesting I have air pump bleeders and manual bleeder’s and since I just replaced all the bleeder valve’s and pulled out about 1/2 the air for I can try this and if it works I would be amazed for sure. but if it doesn’t work I’ll just use air to finish and I’ll be doing it on a big bike Harley Davidson Electra glide classic
And ?
@@jeevanrohtak4185 it worked but not completely
I will try this ! Thank you sirrr
Very Helpful video.Awesome bro
It work for me! Thanks for the tip!
Nice important trick im gonna use this.
make video on hybrid fuel system. Does it really works? should we install that system in our bikes???
Nice videos very informative thank u sir😊😊😊
Hi vikas just in time you gave this info will try this today night.👌
Plz make a video on bikes to buy in a particular range
Thank you! It really works😊
You're welcome!
This worked in 2022. on a CBR600RR 2007. Great way to bleed the air over time
Very happy to know that.
Just changed my back brake pads on my FZ6 and was going to bleed the line tomorrow. So im trying this tonight and see how well it works. Hopefully itll save me from having to bleed it with my pump.
You shouldn’t have to bleed the brakes if you just changed the pads. You shouldn’t have to open the system to change them.
Worked a treat.
Hello vikas bro, I think you changed your little lawn & garden area in to the parking lot for your bikes. It looks nice. How much does it costed you??
I will try it sure
thanks for sharing information have a nice day
It works....Thank you brother...
Keep doing such videos..we love it
Very helpful video!
Spongy brake still the same after using your method. Any idea ?
I can say a little improvement . Should i try another night ?
Wow bro amazing idea ❤
My 200ns brakes are spungy let me try this method.
Evolution : Machine to Man reply even if you crash

Evolution : Machine to Man
Hey buddy did this method worked?
How's the spongy level on your ns?
NS brakes are just shit.....nothing will work on it
You sir, are a genious!
If you do this it's advisable to leave the reservoir caps loose so that the compressed air can escape, otherwise you risk blowing the seals. Period 👍
True
Trying this tonight Bro.
Ilaane marinni technical videos cheyandi... Thank you bro
It’s works! Thank you so much.
Awsome information Vikas bhai 😎
I had been for a short ride after that my Dominar front brk bite is not that good as before it this what i need to do????
Is applying Grease on Chain a good thing (chain with cover)?
Vikas I have a rc 200 it feels crisp for some time and returns again to the spongyness after some riding
Tnx for explaining in english.
Bro my fz v3 has spongy front brake. I changed the master kit and still facing the issue. It happens when I leave the bike without touching for 2-3 days. It is loosing pressure. I checked the brake oil and each time when I check, if I try to bleed the oil from front brake caliper, small air bubbles will come and after that brake will become normal. Could you please tell me from where the air is getting entered if you are aware?
This issue is very irritating and facing this issue from 4-5 months
Bro R15 V3.0 review, please
What is it with Indians and R15s? Whats your love affair with them?
Wil try this today because my lever feel spongy.. hopefully will work!
Bro r15v3 review plz...
Trying this now, my bike sat for a few weeks and I went down my driveway which is a hill and the brakes sponged on me and I ended up halfway in the road, thankfully nothing was coming. Will report back after.
Wishing you the best my friend. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
