Brake fluid leak!!

Post by Sullivj »

In their wisdom, the dealer who sold me the bike yesterday, overfilled the front resovior. When they put the lid back on, it squeezed some fluid out if the resovoir!


So today's job was to syringe some fluid out, and properly clean up the area.


I didn't fancy a ride in the rain, so instead I removed the end can and cleaned it up. I was really impressed with the quality of the metal and how well it cleaned up.

Autosol and a micro fibre cloth. Then a wipe over with ACF50 before putting it back on.
