Hi all,
Drained the front brake fluid reservoir yesterday, was dripping on fairing covering right side, worried some got on the tank. Washed with a wet sponge a bunch of times hopefully that did the trick. Removed the rubber boot on the piston, ordered a new one. Not sure if that will fix it, every time I pulled the lever it seeped out a bit. Hope the bore isn't worn or I'm replacing the whole package. Not sure if anyone has had the same trouble but I'm hoping a boot is all I need.
Also noticed the screw/bush that hold the front lever do not unscrew with an Allen Key, figured I might need to remove it to replace the new rubber boot once it arrives, am I missing something?
Cheers and thanks for the help.
