Gun oil ALWAYS adds to the flavor

But not always in a good way.

Got a wild hair to take the mc apart to see how it looks. The bore has micro pitting and the piston as you can see has had better days. Replacement mc in the works. Im fairly positive this is the cause of my issues.

Never knew they had a turbo for a brake master cylinder.....must really improve the braking distances...

B king master won't clear fairings unless you have a handle bar kit . That's how I ended up with a B king master ,and it was still close to the fairings lol.

Well, this was a bust. The lever is slightly better but a panic brake would leave me crashed if not for rear brakes. Still has some sponge to it. Going to try bleeding them once more before I say screw it and invest in a proper mc. I’m most likely not doing something right. Took a 40 mile ride and went to cyclegear and got me a new jacket and gloves though. That’s a positive.

Nice jacket, what did you pay for that if you don’t mind me asking?
Prices in the US are always lower than NZ, and I’m a curious critter!
