What is this "rear brake" of which you speak? I only ever used mine once a year, to make sure it wasn't binding before the MoT test .... the rest of the time, the engine braking did the rest   |
Yes, of course, that is the only purpose for the rear brake: giving the MoT tester something to check, but if it is binding that is a problem. Anyway, I’ve just taken the SV out for a spin and all 3 brakes are working perfectly now. I suppose changing the piston seals took me less than an hour this morn, including finding the spare seals, some DOT 4 and bleeding the brakes afterwards, but they had clearly been in a very poor state for some time.
I’m really quite impressed with the SV, it feels exactly like the one I bought new in Germany in 2003: lots of torque, good handling, good brakes ... this one is a bit noisier due to the Fuel exhaust - I’m thinking of going back to the original muffler (came with the bike and almost unused) if I can’t get used to the noisy one.
I agree about the colour - it is very nice.
