Author Message   Jays2 Posted on Sunday, February 23, 2014 - 03:43 pm:        My S2 has all original front brake components. I recently bled the system with new dot5 fluid. After 3-5 hard 40mph to 0 stops, I began to experience brake fade. The last time I pushed these brakes that hard was on a mountain ride 17 years ago. I suspect the pads since they are 19 years old, but I don't want to just start throwing parts at it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.   Steveford Posted on Sunday, February 23, 2014 - 04:48 pm:        Fresh brake pads are a good thing.   Beardo Posted on Sunday, February 23, 2014 - 06:27 pm:        Maybe it's just me, but with all original BRAKE parts, I would do a complete rebuild. Again, maybe that's just me. It's only my life...   Lynrd Posted on Sunday, February 23, 2014 - 09:30 pm:        Have to agree with Beardo. The pads are 19 years old...so are the seals in the master cylinder, and the calipers. Rebuilding all of the parts is pretty easy and the parts are cheap and plentiful... If you are not seeing any fluid on the rotor, start by rebuilding the master cylinder. The rebuild kit is all of $18.00 at J&P http://www.jpcycles.com/product/2400710 (Message edited by LYNRD on February 23, 2014)   Two_seasons Posted on Monday, February 24, 2014 - 07:16 pm:        Al at American Sport Bike has them too... And they actually tells you they ARE FOR BUELL S2
