    Guys,

    I have a problem with my bike front disc. The problem is, when i applied the brake my bike stop instantly, but after release the brake i gave the accelerator. but it doesnot move for a minute.

    I hope its a problem with the pad and disc. 😔 😔. For the past 3 months i didn't applied the front brake.

    please help me to get away from this problem.

    #-Link-Snipped-# : So I think the pads are jamming on the disc? Did you try checking the brake pads?

    The problem is with the brake pads they are not recoiling as it should

    Check it and also try to see if your brake cable is working good

    yeah i did. but no one gave me a permanent solution.
    i think the better option is i have to replace the complete set. 😀

    I'm not familiar with the recoil assembly of the bikes. I'm tagging #-Link-Snipped-# . Let's see if he has any suggestions.

    Hey its the spring which has malfunctioned.

    i dont have much knowledge about the anatomy of motorbikes, but from the basic knowledge which i have , i can say that there is a kind of spring or spring like device, which retracts the brake pads, once you release the brake lever.

    this device material must have lost its elasticity, when you applied the brakes with full force.
    most probably you will have to get this replaced. check with your mechanic or the service station.

    Check the brake oil generally that is called disc oil. Then check if the disk is jammed. Just pour some oil (coconut oil ) on the disc.. turn the wheel and check if the brake is working as desired. Then there will be a screw near the handle that should be optimally adjusted.

    Check the above things 😀 hope your issue gets resolved.

    Ow wait! It is a disc brake right. Is there a screw at the handle for disc brake? I haven't seen it. I don't think so. It has got to do something with the calipers I guess. I don't think the coconut oil thing should be used. Check if the brake pads have worn beyond the permissible limit. Check for rust. And the brake fluid level. Again, I guess the calipper has somehow lost its smooth motion for not using it for three months. Could be rust again. It is better to take it to an authorised mechanic.

    :update:
    There are no adjusting screws. The thing I mistook as screw yesterday was the piston at the liver which was covered by a rubber cover. I managed to look under the cover to discover only a piston connected to the liver!

    And another vital information: disc brakes are self adjusting!

    Much happy to see this thread is still active even I sold my pulsar bike two years back. Answer to your question.

    During that issue. I approached one street side mechanic. He dismantled the complete set, drained all the brake fluid from the tube. Later he cleaned the complete set with the washing powder. Dried under the hot sun for half day. Later he installed the parts and filled with new brake fluid. That's over.

    After that everything was fine.
    Funny part was I approached Bajaj SC for this they quote Rs.3500/-. This guy done everything within Rs.35/-.
