Trying to get some braking going on the Strada, I have been spoiled by Brembo 4 piston gold brakes on all my recent guzzi's and while the Strada is a great bike,  the front brake lever only moves a bit and I need more bite.  First linked bike in a while too.  I was thinking EBC HH's would give me a bit more in the front.
Any input is appreciated
Cheers,

Try the adjustment screw on the lever.  You must have tiny hands.  :grin:

Screw's all the way out, brakes are wooden.  I was hoping a change in pads would help.  I do have the brakes off my 02 Lemans, but I don't want to delink this bike and put on the modern brakes if I don't have to.  It is just pretty hard to stop when you are riding quickly and need to decelerate quickly.  Guess I could ride a bit more reasonably...
Thanks,

The EBC master list shows the Strada 1000 as using FA18HH front and rear. While the pads may help, I can't but think there's something else you may need to do in the brake system itself.

Thanks, I planned on bleeding the system and trying new pads. I do notice that when squeezing the front brake lever, the brake line flexes around a bit, when squeezing the front brake lever and mashing the pedal, the left line doesn't move a bit.  Don't know much about these older brake systems, but I have guzziology and I like to fiddle with stuff, so I will get it sorted.  I suspect the brakes are about what they should be, I am just used to being able to lock up the front and rear wheels when I grab the brakes

I have a file on maintenance, although I don't see where I rebuilt the forks and some of the later stuff. I'll send it to you via PM if that works..

Check your pms father..

Is it possible someone started to delink and swapped out the front MC for a 15mm?

The problem may be with the oem rubber lines.....if they haven't been changed.  You'll get a better feel with the ss lines. :thumb:
