Hey guys,
I'm new here and know very little about motorcycle maintenance.
So, I have a 2018 Bullet 500 EFI, more than that, I don't know, so not 100% sure I've even posted in the correct forum. Sorry if I got it wrong.
I was riding to work this morning and ended up in a bit of a bingle when my rear breaks failed. I don't think they actually failed, it's just that they didn't engage as they usually do.
So, what I have realised, is that at times when I push my foot down on the break, the break engages as usual. At other times, I will have to push the break down quite a bit further until the break actually engages.
So, typically I'd just take it to get it looked at, but finances are really tight and if it's a simple matter of screwing something in a bit tighter, then I'm generally pretty handy, so I can do that sort of thing.
I've looked on YouTube and there's a bunch of good stuff, but it doesn't seem as though any of the videos are of my model, and mine has disc brakes, not drum brakes. And I assume that changes how things might operate.
Wondering whether anyone can give me any pointers on what might be the issue and how I might fix it.
Feel free to talk to me like I'm simple, might make it easier!!
Thanks!!
