[QUOTE="flyinfish, post: 128616, member: 22919"] I do appreciate all responses, however gnarlykaw man, you've got to read all the material before you present it to the class. We've already stated that the hydrolic seems to check out because of the c-clamp theory. And as far as the rotor goes - I do believe that my old frisbee can't be helping the situation but did you read about the flex in the caliper due to an unevenly machined surface with a variation of .022 inches on the clamping surface. Do you have any experience with this? A very small variation in rotor runout can be accomadated by the floating side of the caliper, however there are no checks and balances for flex in the casting due to the uneven surface. My bet is this is the more contributing factor. I really do appreciate your response! Anything that gets me riding again. I'm sending the caliper back. After I get another one and rule out at least the flex problem then I'll let you all know how it's going. Thanks again for your input. And class isn't dismissed until I'm riding again! Spanky - Do you have to abandon all four fingers on the handle bars in order to come to a stop? I do, If not the brake lever will bottom out on my nuckles and I may eventually come to a stop with the help of a tree. Where I ride is mostly hilly technical single track and it's pretty difficult coming down those hills like that. That piston in the master cylinder is about half the size of my pinky and it's pushing two "hockey pucks"...I'm no engineer but...In any case, next time you reverse bleed your brakes, just for kicks throw a c-clamp on there and dream about how it could feel with out all the flex. It's always good to hear from another owner of Kawi's stepchild, the KDX 250. Anxiously waiting...:D [/QUOTE]
