Re: What have you tinkered with today?
My rear caliper, cleaned and lubed, the pistons are now freer than they were, it is going to need a full strip, clean and replace the seals.
Explains the odd feeling from the brake pedal when I rode it on Friday, seemed to be fine for the first half of the TOGMIE rideout on Saturday, but leaving the pub car park, I could hear it. The disc was hot to touch.

Just fitted Michelin road pilot 4 to the rear of the VFR. Replaces a road pilot 1 and that was pretty impressive. Not cheap mind.
