Help, i have broken my bike
Confession, I have read everything via a search and need your help.
I have a 06 speed triple which have radial caliper brakes.
Ok
Last week they where acting horrible, all kind of grindy at low speeds and i ignored it for two days ( 200 miles!)
I then pulled the pads out of the left capiliar and examined the pads
One side was ground down to the metal shoe and this has lighltly scored the disc, the other has about 5mm left.
I then played with the caliper and in the process of cleaning it and working out how it worked took it off the bike and opened it up ( two half's)
I also pumped the brake lever and closed the pistons fully shut.
During this process I lost what I thought was three or four drops of fluid but I noticed the reservoir on the handlebars was just below low.
I then open the reservoir to see how it worked and then closed it.
I have brought two new sets of pads and would like ideally to fix them myself.
please tell me what to do,
I realise i am mechanical idiot and therefore please make it simple.
Jim
