Are Brakes

[edgeman55]

However, when the bike is in motion, and the front brake lever is squeezed and the front calipers start to engage, the resulting upwards motion of the left front caliper, as depicted by the arrow in Swede's diagram,
Attachment 19897causes the secondary master cylinder to compress, forcing brake fluid to eventually engage the rear brake.



I think I've got this now.
Thanks to everyone for their input!

Cheers,
Steve

Thats correct and is why Honda is replacing the secondary master cylinder because if it goes haywire and won't realease the rear brake one is shit out of luck which was proven to me last week when my rear brake locked up at 45mph in a right hand sweeper!

Dammmmm that got your attention... I believe you are the first on this forum to actually have the problem show it's ugly head...maybe some on the guys on the fence will have their bikes recall done !!!!!


As far as I know ALL Honda bikes that have the linked system have the same system !!!!! Which is also one of the reasons bleeding the brakes is a
PITA !!!

I hate the linked brakes on my VTX...Not being able to feather which brake I want is problematic at times...Haven't had issues with the B yet, however I'm fairly certain when I finally get it home that the same issues will arise.

Yea Steve it sure did get my attention.I was very lucky someone was not coming around in the other lane as I slide over accross it to a dirt section by the roadway.This was up in the mountains by Virginia City here in northern Nevada.Was able to nurse it down the hill with the brakes pulsating at times.AAA flatbed towed me to the Honda dealership where she sits waiting on parts.Funny thing was I was scheduled to bring it in next month for the recall.The dealer said I am the first F6B to have the brakes lock up but they have had 3 Goldwings over the past few years it has happened to.So all beware it can happen.
