I bleed my front brakes yesterday and now my front brake lever feels like it grabs and engages too fast. It's hard to explain but if I barely squeeze the brake lever, the brake feels like what it used to feel like when I would squeeze the level half way.

Basically, it feels like the exact opposite of a squishy brake... but too stiff i'd say.

Any thoughts or help?

 

Too much brake fluid??

 

In the line? should I just bleed them again for a few pumps to see if that fixes it?

 

Most people have a really tough time getting all the air out of the line. Sounds like you didn't have that problem. I rode mine and then came back and bled it some more I was surprised how much more air I got out of it. But mine was mushy. Not to much pressure like yours.

 

Can anybody help me figure out what these silver screws are for?

First image is on the Brake side and second is on the couch side. They seem like some kind of adjustment, but I'm not sure what.

 

Why did you bleed your brakes. Replace a line. Changing fluid. Etc?
From an automotive background. Stiff brakes can be caused by a blockage in the brake line. Or a collapsed brake line.

Could try to vacuum bleed the brakes to see the that helps.

 

did you mix DOT 4 and DOT 5? they don't like each other

 

No my master cylinder says only use DOT 4 and I put brake fluid DOT 3 / 4 in there.

 

Sounds like the caliper piston might be dirty and hanging up.

 

They're set screws for turn-signal mounting studs. If you removed them, nothing would happen. If you look under the brake/clutch perch, you'll see the hole where a stud would go.
