I got my warning today. I'm cruising along nice and easy about 55 mph and I see a deer run out from the opposite side of the road. I grabbed the clutch and both front and rear brake automatically. I felt the rear brake pedal snap or something. I held on the fronts. The deer passed about 5 feet in front of me. That's the closest I ever came to a deer on a bike. The does are releasing their love aromas. The Bucks are loosing all common sense.
The rear brake pedal on my rearset was zip tied up through a bolthole in the footrest mount. I have removed the reservoir and downspout pending installation of an external reservoir. The ziptie is what broke, the pedal is fine. Amazingly, the pedal went back up and there is no return spring on it. There must be some pressure left in that MC.
Time to start winter projects. I'll have that rear brake MC at the top of the list. The busa goes to bed first. The 14 only has 500 miles on it so far this year.
