Instructions say to bleed brakes after install. Why would I have to do that if system isn't opened?

There are many reasonsBrake fluid over time absorbs moisture and breaks down most manufacturer recommend changing brake fluid every two years this also helps with protecting the system When moisture enters the system the brake pedal can start to feel spongy Also brake fluid pressure are very high when applying causing high temp. Which causes fluid to darken over timeSome auto shop have test strips to check fluid for contamination Basically it will help improve braking

Good question! Not sure. I had my mechanic install them. Sorry couldn't be any help.

You wouldn't need to bleed the brakes unless you disconnected the brake lines for any reason. If you have any other questions or suggestions let me know.

You shouldn't. I also got mine in a box not properly sealed. So far, the brake pads are working properly, whisper quiet, no complaints.

My wife has not had and problems with the brakes. She has been using it for three months now.

How has it been installed. Mine leaked there until I run the system. There are 3 check valves that open with a screwdriver. Try bleeding them and see if it fixes your problem

I have been looking for the parts kit that used to be offered but I canot find it anywhere and the seller does not respond to this issue. Don't buy it if you want to be able to fix it when it brakes.

yes it is easy to install==== but jack it up all the way one side at a time==place under rubber bumpers== keep clamp a way from the brake lines! make sure the clamp is tight==after you drive it check clamp!!! enjoy

Did you check to make sure the chain brake is'nt on? Pull the black paddle on THE top back!

what I have done in past is use a vacumn pump to bleed the system there will be a bleed nipple on the abs system start there and move out from there to the wheels starting with closest wheel

You should only need 1 set. The set comes with four pads - 2 for each side. Dont forget about rotors and pad sensing wires that tell you when the brake pads are low. Recommended you replace all the aforementioned at the same time.

Like any remote start system, this needs to be installed by a professional mobile electronics installer. Not a mechanic. Take it to a stereo/security shop. Let someone who does these day in day out do it. I sell and install Viper products, but have no problems installing anything else. The wire colors are different than Vipers, but it's the same dang thing. If an installer is too scared to touch a product like this, then they're not experienced enough to touch your car anyway.

I always remove cable from brakes.. after simple.. both wheels - maximum 2 minutes

Sounds like a misprint to me!! You should clean new rotors with some type of quick dry cleaner. Use MAF cleaner if that makes you more comfortable. A little pricey, but should work as well or better than Brake cleaner.

I think there is a security sensor that you have to turn off.. U could look it up online on how to do it or ask another mechanic friend

I concur with John P. Vacuum is best to ensure a good bleed because you'll be able to see the air bubbles and aerated fluid before clear brake fluid arrives.

the same thing happened to our hours after one of the crashes it took. The gears are probably stripped inside. Take it back to the store. Buy something else.

I installed something similar on my wife's bike and it has a small lever inside of the housing that you set for your brake type. It was explained well in the instructions. I assume this is the same.
