I'm having problems with my front brake on my YZ 250. It works fine until it gets hot, then starts to fade out until I can pull it all the way into to the grip. It well eventually come back after letting it sit for 5 minutes or so. I bled the brake but am still having the same issue. Any thoughts?

Thanks

dumb question but you bled the brake to get the air out or did u also change the fluid? you might want to change your brake fluid to a high temp fluid. I used to have that problem with my back brakes and then i switched over fluids and havent had the problem since. Also dumb question but how are your brake pads?

I bled the brakes to get the air out as well as changed the fluid and put EBC dot 4 back in it but not sure of the temp. The pads are new so I'm thinking that the high temp fluid would be the best solution to my problem. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is the caliper or master cylinder getting air in them? I would try rebuilding them if you changed the fluid.
