No photos but I was up til late yesterday, as my master/caliper rebuild kits and amazing purple Hel Performance braided lines arrived.
Stripped and cleaned the rear caliper but didn’t rebuild the master yet. Waiting on a different o-ring for the caliper as they sent the wrong size before I break everything apart again. Front got the full whack.
Plus, while I had it off I also stripped down the sticky near-impossible killswitch button. It will kill the engine but was impossible to un-kill as it would stick in place.
Now it has the cleanest most satisfying click of all the clicky things. Just gotta hope I never have to use it again.
Went for a 120 mile test ride to make sure the brakes were working. Feels much lighter action on both than before, almost disconcerting. Definitely stop the bike though!
