That might explain it

Post by cupasoop »

Those of you who met up at Hartside last summer may remember me asking not to go too fast as my brakes were a bit crap (not that anyone listened to me :mad2 ), well I think I may have the answer. A bit of garage time today saw me strip and clean the front brakes. Out of 12 pistons up front, only 4 were actually working 8O 3 on one caliper and only 1 in the other one. I'm amazed the bloody thing stopped at all.

lol, you have to get rid of your storm to get anywhere in here. At least I'm an admin who still has a bike :wink: (I'll cop it for that one)

Haven't had a storm for about 5 years now Jonesey, got this now............. http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 81&start=0

You're not an admin so it wouldnt be you :wave: You're also much bigger than me so it definitely wouldn't be you.
