Alright,


Yes initially it was in only one brake line , because I could not get rid of it m I tried bleeding both brakes with a more experienced motorcyclist and mechanic. We both have no idea , the bike brakes well de lever feels slightly spongy but nothing special. The left brake still runs hot.


What I have tried so far:


1. install new brake pads and noticed the problem occurred afterwards because I bleeded the left brake a bit, to let excess air out.


2. Bleeded the left side with vacuum pump and noticed I sucked in a lot of air. Kept on bleeding but the insane amount of air it sucks in through the hose is unknown to me.


3. Bleeded same brake with a tie wrap on it because I thought the hose leaked and sucked in air past the valve, also bought new hoses, same result as before ...


4. Bleeded regularly with a hose in a bottle and oil in it. Same result ??


5. Bleeded both left and right side at the same time


6. Alright piston check 1 , Clear pistons , pushed them in and out and in and out and they go smoothly , applied brake cylinder oil I purchased at a specialized shop


7. rechecked both calipers again and regreased and rechecked and they are corrosion free and move easily


8. Debolt the valves in the caliper ( drainvalves for fluid ) and checked if they where plugged ? They seemed fine and cleaned them with brake cleaner


9. Re install try againe with both methods , vacuum pump and with holding the brake and a second person to assist in open and closing the valve


10. result is the same there is to much air being sucked in , anyone who bleeds the brakes from a tenere experiences the same thing or is it just me ? any video or so please ?


I have no idea , asked multiple people and don't know what to do anymore I don't think the shop can do much more tbh xD


Everything was fine, I installed new brake pads and drove only 20 km's on them to work and back and then noticed the heating so a warped brake disc seems overrated to me.


I use sintered brake pads which I always have on my sports bike aswell and on the rear brake of the tenere.


Anyone who has the slightest clue ?
