Cannondaleriders

The front brakes on my cannondale are not too good. They feel spongey and wont stop too good. Should I put different fluid in it, change the master cylinder, or just put some 250r calipers on it with some modding? Any tips or other threads that contain the information I need would be very appreciated. Nick.

I've never heard that!

Maybe you need new pads.....bleed the system (while your at it, flush the system to get all new fluid in), then see how it is.

yep bleed it out and check the pads, they were new last year but i use front brakes 85% of the time..

how is everything else working on the quad nick? get the jetting right?

The overall of the bike is nice. I put new tires, airfilter, handlebars, kill switch, graphics kit, seat cover, nerfs, airbox, swingarm buffers, chain, and new powder coat. I havent dared to touch the jetting yet.... What do I have to do? Lower the injector flow rate like you said? Nick.

most what you need to fix in the mapping forum i don't wanna tell you the wrong thing..

what was wrong with those things? and what'd you do with the graphics? Just curious, i know scott'd be curious if you just threw them out or not..

Ok thats cool, All those things were perfectly fine. I just got them because they were cheap. I got new plastics and a walsh graphics kit but still have the old ones for practicing. I'm practicing at seaford sunday so the bike looks sweet. One thing has he rear bottom shock mount alwasy been wobbly? Have to drill the bushing swingarm out and put a bigger bolt through it ot get the play out. IT must have been run loose or jsut the bushing is beat. Also, the bumper for the rear shock is almost gone. I'm not busting your balls, the bike is sweet no worries. Is there a z400 bearing in the crank, just wondering, but might get it sent out to timbo for it.Thanks

no it doesn't have the z400 bearng, i suggest you do that, i would. The bushing was gone a long time ago, i think the first time i rode it, i called jeff at the quadshop and he said i'll be fine for riding it, it's a ohlins part, over the winter just send it to him to get rebuilt. And that rear part has always been a hit or miss, i never broke it or anything, just a little loose with the rear bottom shock bolt because its a speed shock on a cannibal and the holes are a little different from the Fox shocks.. as long as u didn't drill through the swingarm itself i think you should be okay, as soon as u drill/weld cast alluminum, all it wants to do is break even more!:mad:

cdaleracer...what u mean as soon asu weld aluminum it wants to crack more i had my whole swingarm basically rewelded to fix the cracking and have had no problems

hm, i suppose it's not true then, when i rewelded the alluminum sub frame on my yfz it broke 3 more times!

maybe the swinger isn't made out of the same type of alluminum
