I plan to go into the MC and see what needs servicing - o rings, ball bearing, etc. I may actually be making progress. Also plan to try to buy some replacement banjo fitting washers, figuring they need replacement routinely when taking hoses apart. While I'm at it, I probably should go into all three calipers just in case. What kind of lube is needed for the pistons, etc.?
Progress ! That is where I was, bleeding till I bled, then finding the calipers were froze... mine is stopping much better now. I think x-bird said silicon (like used on pool pumps, etc.) for lube but I'll let him or someone else answer, I'm still new to this. I have had problems finding the flat orings/rubber washers, basically the parts to do a rebuild. Seems the usual approach is replace. If you find the parts, please let me know !
