Re: Brake binding

Today after work i pulled the caliper and totally disassembled. The seals were fine, not so dirty but one of the pistons had some gunk on it and was binding up. Cleaned it up real good and got it back on and took about an hour to pump up the brakes(no speed bleeder) and it is working ok. I can only ...

Re: Fitting CCT's shortcut?

Im concerned about doing it in my driveway, as i dont REALLY have a good space for working, the recent burst in bike upkeep has mostly been due to good summer weather

Re: Battery not charging

I had a small slam(enough to bend the front fairing stay) and i was having a drain on the battery from the instrument cluster while the bike was off. Apparently something got jiggled around in there. When you get the multimeter out check for drain and if there is it might be from that i just pulled ...
