    I tend to get colder just sitting on a ADV useing very little energy unlike riding a trail bike..

    If your hands are nimble enough to play the guitar solo from Blackened Metallica then you amply qualify to be fixing your own brakes

    Make sure you prime your calipers before attaching the brake hoses or you'll be pumping air for hours to bleed the lines lol

    Get a 50 mil syringe from a vet and a short piece of hose and back bleed them from the bleed screw. Be done in 5 minutes with no mess. Flush the syringe after with water to stop the brake fluid from rooting it and you will be good for next time.


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    Peaches and cream sell a good vacuum pump, which could be adapted.

    ha ha! These nimble digits can't play that solo OR fix callipers

    How do I prime the calliper? Don't even know what that means ...
