Went to register my overdue Busa and V-max Fail gotta mail them in
Gen 2 2014 (19,736 mi - bought the bike 01/2019 with 10k on the odo)
Rebuild Fr Brake MC
New Fr pads
IMO, the old pads could have stayed on, but ... really cheap brake insurance is the way I look at it
Fr bleed
(camera failure - limited pics)
Took it for a ride> Nice clean feel> No leaks!!
(That "notchy" feeling in the lever was due to the fact I'd never lubed the lever's contact points with the MC piston. (or the lever's hinge pin, for that matter). Now: butter-status. MUCH more feel. If it weren't for COVID, I would be upgrading to the RCS-19, but no income for a couple months, no RCS-19 for the foreseeable future)
Is there a shortcut for attaching the bleeder hose line to the valve other than pulling the caliper off the rotor???
And one of the reasons the L side was easy to get at was because I could approach it from the R side as the R caliper was off rotor> a clear shot for the hose and valve. AND I could bleed the L side from the R side of the bike ... you know, where the brake lever is ...
Rebuild Fr Brake MC
- Had the rebuild kit but once I got it apart the old stuff looked new, so I just cleaned/greased it all up, put it back together - Now I got a spare rebuild kit
New Fr pads
IMO, the old pads could have stayed on, but ... really cheap brake insurance is the way I look at it
Fr bleed
(camera failure - limited pics)
- Lines were completely empty cuz of the MC rebuild
- Bled the lines with a combo of calipers off and on the rotor.
- Bled right side caliper (off the rotor) (that's what those inserts between the pads are for) til I got some feel at the lever, left it off rotor...THEN
- Bled the left side (on rotor) - almost full lever feel
- Mounted right side onto rotor (then pulled it off cuz I couldn't get to the R side bleeder valve with the hose or the wrench - attached the wrench and hose, then remounted it on the rotor)
- Re-bled Right side.
- Motorex DOT 4

Forgot to add: also cleaned the calipers separately - brake cleaner + toothbrush. DID NOT service caliper pistons
That don't look like a PR5.....!!

It's not. It's a Pirelli Angel GT 2. Couldn't find a PR5 local.
You had me worried there, I bought these Michelins and thought you'd jumped ship on me....

Wish it was nice enough to ride here. Been getting out when I can even tho they're trying to say that we're not supposed to ride with this "lockdown" in place. Even seen a couple people get tickets for it already
. Guess they're trying to bring in money anyway they can thru all this.

Revenue from tickets wont help this problem.Wish it was nice enough to ride here. Been getting out when I can even tho they're trying to say that we're not supposed to ride with this "lockdown" in place. Even seen a couple people get tickets for it already

Nah. This is a temporary tire. Although brand new, I plan to replace it as soon as I can.
Whew! good to hear that....

I just put the battery on the charger today. I'll leave to charge for a few days, then it's time to ride.
A ‘charger’ for a few days?
