I was going to suggest a suction pump but I guess the vacuum is the same.. I bought a little hand pump and modified it to pull the fluid though for my motorcycle brakes cause I kept getting an air pocket.
Will they lockup at all or is it they just don't slow you down fast?
You will be able to still get the wheel off with the high strength locktight, I would of suggested medium but found using medium on my rack bolts they would still vibrate off
Nice, I built one exactly the same way but used an Artic Cat rack from the wreckers i got for $50 bucks and painted it in Rino Bed Liner so it never chips or scratches with the box and tie downs.
Stupid thing yamaha did not building a functional aftermaket rack for it.
I had that on my friends polaris trailboss, I ended up upsizing the bolt and drilling out the bushing for the new diameter bolt.
Works like a charm now but was going to weld a plate on and redrill the hole before trying the new bolt.
I can lock the rear brakes fine but they really do nothing as they are only 30% of your actual braking power.
I know what you mean with the feel, mine never feel they engage but I know they do cause i see the rear wheels slide.
Maybe replace the cable portion of the rear brakes they do...
When u wash it make sure u get the rad real clean, they have a tendency to collect a lot of dirt behind the rad and cooling fan. If its not getting air through it the fan will cycle more.
Same here I couldn't get the Cam-am bellows to fit right either. I am hoping that a breather off the driveshaft from the Suzuki Eiger is the same diameter as one on the wolverine.
