I'm having a problem with the rear brakes in that they need to be bled repeatably. Has anyone had similar problems and have you found a cure. Thanks.

 

Are you saying you bleed them and they are fine then the go away and you have to bleed them again? If so sounds like you are getting air somewhere.

 

Are you following Champion Trikes directions?

You have to bleed the rear brakes using the upper bleeders first, then do a one time bleed using the lower bleeder on each side?

It could be a couple of other things,

1) a leak

2) one if not both bleeder valves are bad and letting air in after bleeding the brakes

3) rear brakes not adjusted correctly?

4) Bad rear master cylinder

5) rear brake pistons not extending far enough to give a hard pedal

These would be the things I would be checking

 

Thanks, I'll look at the bleeding sequence.
