    Bleeding Brakes

    If you got some air out of the banjo you probably have air trapped in the pump piston area. If you still have the 4-position lever, make sure it's on the longest throw to purge that out.

    Bleeding Brakes

    One more note, make sure you maintain your reservoir level between upper and lower level marks when bleeding to prevent air being sucked in.

    Bleeding Brakes

    The spongy feeling at the lever is air in the system. Here's another trick I've used. Take a squirt bottle spritzer and rubber band the trigger back. Then attach a bleeder hose to the caliper nipple and the other end to the spritzer tube. The spritzer is a one-way valve and will allow fluid...

    Bleeding Brakes

    When you release the lever on the bar do so slooooowly. It will prevent air induction. Also try letting the system sit for a day to allow any air to migrate to the highest point. When you fill the reservoir air is mixed into the fluid as micro bubbles.

    Bleeding Brakes

    If you have a bleed nipple on the reservoir perch, you need to bleed that as well. My sons-in-law's Speed Triple had the same problem until I bled that perch nipple and then they were solid as a rock.

    Does ride modes work still?

    Depending on what you changed the ride modes aren't usually affected. The ETV tables have 3 listings (1,2, and 3) number 1 is rain, 2 is road, and 3 is sport. As long as you don't change anything in 1 or 2 they are not affected. What will be affected if you dorked with ANY table is cruise...

    FRONT MASTER CYLINDER REBUILD KIT

    You should read the book pictured in my avatar, sounds like you're using my maintenance methodology. Disassemble to explosion point, reassemble 4 or 5 times until frustration, consternation, and rage force seeking advice.

    FRONT MASTER CYLINDER REBUILD KIT

    If you had that spring reversed, you can't get any fluid down the lines. If you look at the holes at the bottom of the reservoir and actuate the brake lever you should see spring coils moving by the hole. The piston with the o-rings is the pressure boundary and the rubber cup on the spring is...

    FRONT MASTER CYLINDER REBUILD KIT

    Try this, fill the reservoir to the upper mark and cap. Let sit for 24 hours and then check fluid level. If it's the same level after 24 hours your system is air bound, if not, then your system should bleed on the next attempt.

    Is this normal wear?

    The compound distribution in the tire can also affect how fast it wears. The softer stuff is usually on the outside of the tread where centrifugal forces are greatest to maximize the frictional surface. Riding straight up the compound can be harder since it doesn't have any lateral g-load.

    TPMS Problem

    The simplest answer is to simply turn it off if you can. The problems you describe are known by the factory. You might have your dealer contact his factory rep and see if they have a solution coming in the near future. Since I don't have the TPMS I'm doing it old school with a pressure gauge...

    Found a solution to my big ugly backrest

    My brothers Mark and Pierce have Goldwings, and Mark's son Jeremy has a Goldwing and they love them. I've worked on Pierce's GW and it's "involved" to do anything on that bike. Mark and I put the lower cowling light kit in it and that turned out to be an all-day project.

    New Rocket reliability

    You can add 30HP on top with TuneECU if it hasn't been done already., by simply fiddling the ETV tables There are Youtube videos that show you how to do it. The only gotcha with that is it kills cruise control until you run a switch check. Agfish18 just did that on his 2023 GT and found out...
