Wobbly brake lever

(1/3) > >>

Sprocket:
There's a fair amount of travel in my (front) brake lever before the business end actually makes contact with the end of the master cylinder piston. I reckon I've get 20-25mm of play as seen at the end of the lever. I don't think I can fix it either, you'd have to build up the end to make it contact sooner.

Don't know if it's an original Honda lever perhaps it's a poor copy, just interested if anyone else has noticed similar?

Erny:
Are you sure it is 20-25mm? Not 2.0-2.5mm?

I cannot imagine 20mm play  :o

taysidedragon:
It could be a lot of wear in the pivot hole of the lever if it's an old one, or wear on the pivot bolt itself. Take the pivot bolt out and check for wear.

There's a joke in there but without the Nurse around to control things, I'll leave it!

Definitely 20mm. Will check the pivot, good idea! :)

Sprocket:
Hmmm. So the pivot I have is worn a bit, but the biggest issue is the rubber bung bit the lever is supposed to push against isn't there! I knew I'd missed a bit when I reassembled but the poxy bit of tube that came out didn't look like it would do anything anyway.
Have ordered from the pirate and will hopefully be 'done done'.
