My name is Seth Williams. I work D-K service and I'm here to tell you about simple street bike brake repair and inspection. This is a '93 Suzuki Jet SXR750. They're mid line entry level sport bike, it's in here for some brake repair, mainly the mass cylinder. I'm only covering some tips of general maintenance and just looking and inspecting parts making sure that their in condition. First step is going to be removing the rear wheel, you know undoing the nut taking the swing arm excel out dropping the rear wheel. We're going to inspect the brake router and caliper after that to make sure the brake pads are good. The bike was in here last week with a brake problem using brake pressure in it's rear brake. I went ahead, lit it with a nematic bleeder that we use that uses an airline to bleed the brakes. After doing that about 3 times, I can get some minimal pressure on the bottom of the brake peddle when I push it all the way down and feathered it. I can get it to pressurize a little bit for about 3 to 4 seconds. After that we would lose pressure and it was, there was nothing and we know that, that is faulty mass cylinder that needs to be rebuilt. The seals inside it either had a hole or we're all ripped. So we'll be going through that as well as just some general maintenance tips on your braking system.
