demmo Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I bled the front "formula" brake on my 6 month old sherco. It was amazing the amount of grey gunk that came out. After being flushed through it made my brake feel more positive. It was a cheep & easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gascan41 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 demmo , that grey gunk is caused by the spring in front of the piston machining the inside of the master cylinder every time you pull the brake lever in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampshade Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 wonder if it worth pi$$ing about with some different weight fluids? just want to get rid of the spongey feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 My formula are fine on my 2012 and wish that they were continued. I bleed through about once a month and this has kept them going all year. Would be very good if it werent for this............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
