Fluid Leaks Pressing the brake pedal compresses the brake fluid , creating hydraulic pressure in the brake lines. This hydraulic pressure transmits force to the front and rear calipers or each wheel cylinder, which engages the brake pads or shoes, respectively. Once the mechanic diagnoses the issue, they’ll begin fixing it.

Anyone who works on brakes should be familiar with basic hydraulics and the various components that make up the hydraulic portion of the brake system. It converts the force exerted on the brake pedal by the vehicle’s driver into hydraulic pressure to apply the brakes. The cure is to replace the master cylinder.

Understanding Hydraulic Brakes There are two main braking systems when it comes to motorcycles and powersport vehicles: mechanical braking systems and hydraulic braking systems. Mechanical brakes involve wires to trigger braking mechanisms, while hydraulic brakes use pressurized brake fluid to apply pressure to a wheel assembly.

Some hybrid systems apply the hydraulic brakes at lower speeds. Normally, the fluid pressure for the wheel hydraulics is generated by the pump and/or accumulator in the ABS HCU or a stroke simulator, and is regulated by the teamed efforts of the ABS and the PCM’s logic. This is called “manual mode.”

They can measure hydraulic pressure side by side, offering insights into ABS units, master cylinders, and proportioning valves. Loose caliper hardware or worn/misadjusted wheel bearings can cause uneven brake application, resulting in a pull.
