WTF over!

Decided to fix the indicators today and what a debacle that turned into. I'm running led indicators and knowing you can't use the normal flasher I went off and bought a LED specific bike one.....and it didn't work. In looking at that the rear brake light was also no longer working???? Checked the light itself and it was fine, the brake pressure switch was playing up. Maybe I don't have enough pressure in the line?....Why is there brake fluid on the rear sets? FAAAARKKKKKK!!!!! Long story short, the brake switch is cactus - need a new one. The master cylinder has been leaking brake fluid past the reservoir attachment seal - need to replace the seal or replace the whole master cylinder. My uber sexy HRC race reservoirs are still sweating brake fluid plus the lines have clouded - have to consult with the seers at RGV250.co.uk for some advice on this one.

Went back to the original indicator flasher and decided to load up the indicators with after market resistors so it will flash - need to buy them.

One step forward and about 6 backwards....I hate having to revisit parts I've already "fixed" ;-)

When bolts go bad

The new pads on the GSXR were nice...the missing bolts in the rear caliper were not. With a ride on Saturday I managed to have my bike squeezed in at the local mechanics for an all round pad change before I went to work. Heading out to one of our suppliers I found my caliper hanging off with one bolt gone and the other one halfway through backing itself out. I'm glad I was cruising in the burbs rather than on the highway. A bit of bush craft with some cable ties (thanks Craig) and we were back in business.
