Okay, this is my first winter with the SV and already the front brakes are binding (badly).
**I swear my ZX6 was never this bad**
Anyway, as you all know I'm a mechanical moron and need some advice.
I've taken the calipers of the the forks and removed the pads to give the whole thing a damn good clean only to discover that one piston in each caliper seems to be solid and refusing to budge!!!!!!
So the questions are this.....
1. How do I free them (to scared to do anything yet in case I damage the rubber seals on the piston)?
&
2. How do I keep them sweet over winter so this doesn't happen again (keeping in mind the bike is not kept in a garage)?
Any suggestions and recommendations are welcome!
Cheers
Richard.
