What would cause the master cylinder reservoir to overflow and weep on the brembo version on my Ktm 690? The pads are not dragging on the disk and the fluid isn't boiling or even getting warm. Have emptied out a few mls of fluid a few times but last 2 rides I have had the lever play reduced to nil and fluid start to weep.
Possibly, but the reservoir is definitely "producing" fluid. I.e. I empty a bit out and after the next ride it is full again. One other symotom is the lever action becomes engaged with the smallest pull of the lever.
Have you installed new pads recently ? They could be thicker than the previous ones causing this condition.
No new pads. They are originals, about 70% spent. Also the rotor is true and balanced. That's why I'm stumped.
Does your lever feel solid and not spongy? Air in the system will expand more than fluid when things warm up from use. Does the brake completely release when warmed up? Just a thought.
Na, they are in excellent condition. I removed fluid down to the min level and went for a long ride today with a plus 1 on the back and didn't see any escape. I'll see how it goes. Maybe I can start selling the excess.
