Okay, I noticed the other day that the plastic piece below the triple tree had fluid on it next to the brake block. I did think nothing of it. I had full brake control in the front and everything felt fine on the front brake lever. Well, yesterday I had a a buddy (that races) install a set of Dunlops GP-A track tires. After the tires where install and everything was back together I took it for a short test ride. As I went to grab the brake lever it was very soft so I pumped the lever and the calipers grabbed. I thought nothing of it at that time. As I turned around to head back to his house, I grabbed the brake lever again and it was soft and I pulled it all the way into the bars, so I pumped the brake and again and they grabbed. I went back to his house and we bleed the lines and a little bit of air was in the lines but not much. As we where checking things out, I remembered the leak under the triple tree. We looked at that but couldn't really find where the brakes are leaking from. We both assume that the brake block is leaking from under neath and we can't see it. The top of the brake block has no fluid on it but under the brake block and on the plastic is covered with brake fluid.
So, my question to you ZX14 gods is...In your best opinion if I change out the lines for SS brake lines like the Galfers, Russells or the Yana Shiki and omit the brake block will my front brakes come back and be "normal"?
And, what SS brake lines are some of you running?
Thanks!
Ride on, Ride safe!
