'24 brake lever free play

[diamonddave]

what does burandt say????

Burandt’s word is nothing. And as much as I trust and believe Terry’s feedback, I am going to wait until the Forum Expert Chilly chimes in with his feedback. His wife let us borrow one of his pasta rockets to attend our first ever Catalina wine mixer last night. Those brakes work well.

He told me to get a shorty lever but i don't think that's all the problem. Track is awesome. Scratchers awesome. Chassis awesome and then we go backwards on brake. I thought you improve on things every year.

I think it’s a new caliper with more piston retraction. My 22 boost has an awesome brake, best I’ve had on a sled. My wife has a 24 and I can’t stand to ride it in trees like mentioned above, lever hits my fingers before I get any braking, I’m gonna bleed it and see what that does. Pretty pathetic the 24 has a good 3x the travel

My brakes on my 24 Boost work better than my 23 9R. I haven't had the problems everyone else is having

Must be special #ChadlyInfluencerEdition brakes on your 24.

 

[turboless terry]

22 awesome
23 great after unplugging it
24 suck on both
25 catalyst brakes great

Mine too. My 24 feels and works like my 22. If your brakes suck. You’re poor.

I can't wait until you and your wife are on junk AC next year. Please post all about it in this forum

It would break up the monotony of all the polaris junk

so weird. my '24 650 brake is just fine. just a touch more travel than my '23 which locks up almost instantly. '24 has no issues at all

 

[Cb850]

There's no consistency to it. Mine's horrible, a buddy that I ride with is acceptable just not great. And a few others I have felt seemed totally normal.

 

[edgey]

My 24 boost is normal, wife's 24 9r has a bunch of free play and feels squishy.

If anyone doesn't like the Matryx brake just put on an AXYS or ProRide master cylinder. I did this on my 23 and it is great. The brake light wiring needs splicing due to incorrect connector but all else fits perfect.

 

[turboless terry]

Apparently I'm going to have to do this. Pull brake in on 9r and it's 15/16 from bars and brake is squishy and doesn't lock up like previous years. Bleeding did nothing.

But don't worry, the real safety problem was the bar ends...

I bled our 24 and it helped marginally. Still not impressed, there was a slight uphill bend in the brake line above coolant reservoir where it’s zip tied to frame. Didn’t help this one much but maybe others have air trapped there.

 

[FlynHigh]

Has anyone tried reverse bleeding? Getting a big syringe full of brake fluid, connect it to the caliper and push the fluid up to the reservoir. Air bubbles want to go up so if the fluid goes up any trapped air bubbles should go up as well. Obviously you need to start with a fairly empty reservoir and watch it as to not have fluid overflow.

Ah!!!
Same way Chadley takes his alcohol….

 

[Cb850]

Mine is on the way to Carl's. They are going to check the rotor for warp, bleed it and potentially swap with a new master off of last year's sled to see if it improves my brake. Fingers crossed.

 

[turboless terry]

Mine is going to dealer tomorrow see if they can fix or getting a complete swap with other sleds.
