What are the symptoms of a faulty motorcycle brake pump?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a faulty motorcycle brake pump are as follows: 1. Shaking when braking: This phenomenon mostly occurs in older motorcycles due to prolonged use and significant wear. It is recommended to consider using a lathe polishing process or replacing the brake pads (for older vehicles). 2. The direction tends to veer to one side: This is commonly known as 'brake pull,' and the main cause of this issue is uneven force applied by the left and right brake calipers on the brake pads. In this case, the caliper needs to be replaced. 3. Brake does not return: It is necessary to check if the brake fluid is insufficient; if there is oil leakage at the brake caliper, pipelines, or joints; or if the master cylinder or caliper components are damaged. 4. Reduced braking force: Possible causes include insufficient hydraulic pressure in the caliper or master cylinder, which may indicate oil leakage; brake system malfunction; or air leakage in the brake pipelines, requiring repair.
