Subject: Tip regarding brakes/new AT
Hi "self service" drivers !
I wanted to change front brake pads, but the "security" screw was stuck.
So I went to a profesionalist, who has more options, to open a stuck
screw.
We could easily do one brake, but on the second, we couldn't push the
pistons back. The cause was very stupid: too much brake fluid in the
system. To avoid this, you should always push the pistons completly in,
when changing brake fluid.
Another thing: the bolt, where the brake sits on (with the rubber at the
end) needs grease inside. On the AT, this runs dry very easily. You
should check and refill at a regular basis.
best regards, Martin
P.S. he also told me about a liquid cooled XR600 and a new AT with
900ccm and 70HP. Just the cubics will change, frame, etc. will stay the
same. Let's see...
