Hi !

My Twin is an `93- RD07 with 41.000 Km. I bought it in june `96 with
1.356 Km, but it didn`t look new for this mileage. The guy from which I
bouht her, rode her a few times in summer and  wintertime without
washing and cleaning her anytime. Perhaps during that three years the
salt and dirt had enough time to create a little massive crust around
the brakepistons.
And as I rode it under every weather-condition it got more and more
worth. Perhaps this explains the low mileage as the problem appears.
Many thanks too all who answered me !!!
BTW: Phoebus: Great and funny way to repair the brake of your
Club-member on the way you mentioned ;-))
See you in Greece,

Ingo
