There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Greased the calipers on the SV today. And it occurred to me that, in many ways, greasing calipers is like making love tp a beautiful woman.

First you have to remove all the fastenings, then strip everything off. Make sure your pins are clean, then liberally apply grease with your finger, and carefully insert into the bushings. Then give it a wiggle to make sure it's all smooth.
