Your brakes are going all the way down and not stopping like they should unless your foot on the brake is to the floor?
Check your brake fluid levels and fill accordingly.
ANS 2 - You possibly have a brake fluid leak. It is not sufficient to simply pour more fluid in. You must find the leak by checking all 4 wheel cylinders and also bleed the brakes as there is undoubtedly air in the lines now.

Why do brakes shudder when stopping?
Brakes shudder when stopping due to uneven wear on brake rotors or brake pads, causing vibrations that are felt in the steering wheel or brake pedal. This can be caused by factors such as overheating, worn-out brake components, or improper installation.
Why are my brakes not stopping well?
There are several possible reasons why your brakes may not be stopping well, including worn brake pads, low brake fluid, air in the brake lines, or a malfunctioning brake system component. It is important to have your brakes inspected by a professional mechanic to determine the exact cause and ensure your safety on the road.
What are the differences between V-brakes and cantilever brakes, and which one is more effective for stopping power?
V-brakes and cantilever brakes are two types of bicycle brakes. V-brakes are mounted on the frame and use a cable to squeeze the brake pads against the rim. Cantilever brakes are mounted on the fork and frame and use a cable to pull the brake arms together, which then squeeze the brake pads against the rim. V-brakes are generally considered to have better stopping power and are more effective for stopping quickly.
When coming to a normal stop you should use?
When stopping you should always use both your front and rear brakes. Aproximately 70 percent of the stopping power is in the front brake, and 30 percent in the rear.
Is a drum brake harder to stop?
Drum brakes do not have the stopping ability of disc brakes, so no not harder, but slower.
What are the differences between hydraulic brakes and disc brakes, and which one is more effective for stopping power?
Hydraulic brakes use fluid to transfer force from the brake lever to the brake pads, while disc brakes use calipers to squeeze brake pads against a rotor. Disc brakes are generally more effective for stopping power due to their better heat dissipation and consistent performance in various conditions.
Why do you need front brakes?
The front brakes on any vehicle do most of the stopping. When you apply the brakes the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle. For this reason the front brakes are needed more than the rear. Try stopping a vehicle with just the hand brake which applies only the rear brakes.
Why are my new bike disc brakes not stopping properly?
There are several possible reasons why your new bike disc brakes may not be stopping properly. Some common issues include air in the brake lines, improper brake pad alignment, contaminated brake pads or rotors, or insufficient brake pad wear. It is recommended to have a professional bike mechanic inspect and adjust your brakes to ensure they are working correctly.
What are the signs of worn brake pads?
Increased stopping distances ... a slight high pitch "ringing" when the brakes are applied (this is a metal post that is coming into contact with the rotors). Disk brake pads should last for about 60,000 miles ... drum brake pads, 40,000 ... taking into consideration that the application and use of the brakes is normal and not having to slam on the brakes for each and every stop.
Why do you have soft brakes?
Soft brakes are caused by moisture or air in the brake lines. This reduces the pressure in side the system and greatly reduces its stopping power.
How much potential stopping power does the front brake supply on a motocross bike?
65 to 70 % depending on the type of pad material (late models only) Frt brakes are for stopping, rear brakes are for slowing.
How much faster is the stopping time on a bike with disk brakes versus a bike with regular brake pads?
I have had bikes with disk and regular brake pads. Disk brakes dont squeak like regular brake pads and stop you much shorter. This is why disk brakes are more expensive.
