I just thought I know sv650 brakes are on the budget end of biking. But I cant remember nissin calipers being that poor.

Turns out most the fluid was hygroscopic and turned into a jelly like substance in the caliper and bottom of the reservoir.

Cheap fixes as you say. Just goes to show preventative maintenence is better than waiting.

Thing is the front and rear braided hoses would have been a few quid same as Ebc pads. But all it needed was a fiver on fluid and some time.

Never even changed the seals they looked in good nick.
