Hello, I'm a new rider, I bought a 2014 ST-Limited and it came with a icsi hand brake That's a big reason I got this one. After riding and learning I've noticed the hand brake does not give consistent braking power on every pull. It definitely doesn't give the braking power that the foot brake does, and sometimes it gives almost no brake. The spyder has 1600 miles and was in great condition and I see there is plenty of fluid in the brake lever tank. I know these were an after market add on. Shouldn't this work just as well as the foot brake? Any ideas what to check?


Before people say just use the foot brake here's my problem. The position of how your legs come down and feet rest on the foot pad make the break pedal not work for me. I just can't seem to lift my foot up in that position to brake easily. I'm guessing due to some minor injury I had years ago, that might be making this hard/not work for me.

Thanks for any help
