Suspension suddenly smooth!

Post by cc101 »

Hi all, here's one for you, I've had hydroflush in now for nearly 3000 miles and literally over night the suspension has gone very smooth but now I'm getting that pulsing brake pedal most of the time! Weird!

Cheers, Chris.

Assuming it's not the ABS. I have a suspicion that (small) air bubbles can cause this. Isn't it about time you drained off the Hydroflush and replaced it with proper LHM?

No abs on this one, early sinker. Will get round to replacing hydroflush when the weather gets better!

Old-Guy is on the money; Hydraurinçage has limited lubricity when compared to LHM. You're past the point of cleaning and heading towards hurting stuff.

I've just had this happen on Gracie. Time to go back to LHM. 2000 miles done on hydraflush.
