Roadsmith Braking

[kb9osl]

Well today I bled the rear brake lines.The rear calipers have two bleeder valves on them,so I started first with the left rear lower,and there was a lot of air,then I did the top one and hardly no air in the line. Then I did the right side and very little air top or bottom. Went for a test ride , and now I can lock up the rear tires if needed . I do feel safer with the braking now ,guess the dealer didn't test his work good enough. So I'll hook up the camper next week and ride 400-500 mile to see how it does with it on the back. Again thanks for the info on here ,I know no other forum on trikes with soo much help .

I wonder how often brakes have to be bled? I have 11K miles on them since last bleed. Any comments?

RS now has a thread here that you can post your question for all to read.

SolidBob, just saw your post #13, for whatever reason, I missed it. That's a file keeper for when I install the Yellow EBCs from RS. Thanks.

IMHO, if the brake system is "working" properly, as in, no leaks and good pressure when applied, there is absolutely no reason to bleed it.
Should the brakes "go soft" then there is a problem(s) in the system and it should be looked at and not just bled!

EBC Yellows just STOP once broken in..... lock them up anytime now!!

Great Upgrade.....

Yes Sir! I now have a few miles since I installed and broke in the EBC yellows. They are a HUGE improvement in braking compared to the stock ones I originally had on my trike. The pedal is now solid, not kinda spongy like it was, and like you said: Yellows just STOP the machine like they are supposed to. Yep, a great upgrade for sure! A big thanks goes out to whomever came up with this!!

What's "Offensive" about that ???? :xzqxz:

CSC's Opposing A-Arm/H-Arm "IRS" designed suspension Trikes utilize a Proprietary "Gear Box" instead of a true Differential to transfer the Linear drive rotation to Lateral motion.
Champion's IRS Designs share the same Basics and Mechanics as CSC.
Motor Trike, Hannigan, & Roadsmith use a true Differential (for Shaft-Driven Bikes).

Not in limited or compromised Traction situations it doesn't. ABS (properly functioning of course) IS superior in those situations.
In "normal" situations,,, the debate still continues as to which stops better/faster. Fine line between Firm as it gets and Lock-Up Braking with non-ABS.

You are about 8 years behind the times. CSC hasn't used a gearbox in a long time. They also use an open differential on belt drives as do several others.

Also, I did braking tests on ABS vs nonABS trikes and ABS was the slowest to stop even in rain. Victory had the worst ABS, followed by HD, then the import bikes with Honda the best.

Sorry for the delayed response. I find this site has more bad info than good info so I avoid it all together.

Semantics and Subjective "Titles" & Obfuscatory Definitions....
Regarding incorrect and misleading Information on this Community, as one of the Leading Offenders in the instances such does occur, your comment is as Hypocritical as it is False.

Perhaps you, we, and this Forum in general would be far better off if you would return to your Stance of "avoiding it all together.

Besides, isn't it against Forum Policy for a non-sponsoring Corp. Entity to be posting Infomercial Plugs and unfounded Slams?
Let Bazooka decide and adjudicate that one...
Betcha a CSC "Proprietary Gearbox-type Differential" (with or without ABS-your choice ) our Esteemed Leader will frown upon your particular Brand of participation and most definitely your above Slam-Quote with great Umbrance to say the least.

You Got some 'Splainin to do Lucy :AGGHH:
