Hey guys i have a 96 JT160 GAS GAS 175cc with AJP front brakes. I just fixed a stuck piston problem not too long ago.

(You may remember my post about it. Thanks to all for the help)

Anyway i have working brakes with it but it acts really goofy now. When the bike is anywhere from leaning to the left like in a turn or strait doesn't matter the brake feels like it should. However if i lean the bike to the right only. Either a turn or strait past about 30 or so degrees the lever gets softer or to describe it better the brakes clamp with the lever closer to your fingers. Whats going on?

Not enough fluid in the master cylinder? When you lean to the right the fluid moves away from the hole?

I'll add a guess on top of ZIPPY'z excelent guess... wheel bearings, maybe a brake pad piston that works "free-er" on one side of the caliper than the other?

good luck.

This is true, it is called a "knock back" on the pads, causing them to have to move further on the next apply. Either is possible. When you insert the diaphram into the MC, it should fill cause the res to fill to top/ no air!

Add to the list: fork flex. If the front end is loose or misaligned, the flex may be enough to not allow the floating disk's ability to self-center in the pads.
