Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Had to bleed the VFR brakes again today. Had a massive leak yesterday whilst buzzing around Llangollen. It's a bit worrying when you press the rear peddle and there's no resistance , nor any stopping power.😨
One of the two bleed nipples on the rear calliper had come very loose and the fluid just pumped straight out.
To be fair the clues were there beforehand as I had noticed some fluid on the rear tyre but assumed it was from the chain, but it was just in one place not spread evenly around the circumference (as if a dog had pee'd on it)
So the moral of the story, don't make assumptions.
PS. The bike was MOT'd last week and they didn't spot the leak either.
