Left vs. Right BrakeLever By ellpee (Read 361 times)

JR may choose to move this to the trike forum or somewhere, but I think it's pretty much a generic question.

My 2012 Magnum trike, with right at 1000 miles on the clock, has a distinct difference in the "play" between the left {rear} and right {front} brake levers. Fluid levels on both are fine, and the right one does work -- I can skid the front tire on our gravel roads with a firm squeeze. But there's WAY more play in the right lever than in the left. I can't see any leakage or anything going on in any of the three brake calipers. Is there some adjustment that I should consider for the front brake?

If you notice the front has the PHONY ABS BREAKS, which are really NOT ABS what it does is it has a relieve valve so you cannot lock up the front breaks and that is why the right lever has more play it gives a lot unless you really squeeze it.
Mine the the same way. Now you can take the the Relieve valve off and and put the line directly to the caliper but it really is not worth the effort.

Hmmm, okay then. I got nothing in the way of a manual, not even one of those crummy Chinglish things, and I see nothing on any of the Magnum sales sites that says anything one way or the other about ABS. So I'll just assume things are good unless the front brake stops working. Thanks, Alleyoop.

You will not find this kind of information in any manual BRO.

I have. 250cc jonway, when I start off in cold, one side will be hard to squeeze, n once it's warm it ok, but then later on the other side will be hard to squeeze, fluids are fine, they both brake fine, my hands are not that strong or big enough to squeeze when it does that.... Is my problem like his?
