Ok, so its time for the K100LT to be sold...aint been used in over a year cos of injury...
Anyway it started up ok (I'd quite like to keep it but I've gone for a lower guzzi cruiser)...noticed that rear brake pedal seemed to have a lot of travel so topped up the fluid & went for a run...came back & found fluid all over the back wheel & shock!
Assumed its brake fluid but cant really see where its coming from & the level in the master cylinder seems to be ok...so questions...could it be the shock leaking...does the ABS system have to be 'pressure bled' as the clymer manual states...am assuming its the flexi hose from the ABS unit to the caliper that's cracked somewhere...tips/comments welcome
