Forks and Wheel Installed
Today I reinstalled the front end components- forks, wheel and the clutch and brake mater cylinders. Here’s a tip for you- always do your cleaning and polishing with the parts off the bike for ease and simplicity. It is way easier to clean a wheel with it off the bike if you want to get it super clean.
After that, I hooked up the line to the clutch and brake master cylinders and proceeded to bleed them. You can get them bled by just pumping fluid through the lines, but using a vacuum pump from the caliper end makes it way faster and easier. I strongly recommend changing the fluid in the master cylinders and lines every couple of years since it absorbs water and corrodes the parts. The clutch master cylinder on this bike was really bad and had a lot of “goo” in it. So now the brakes and clutch are just like factory new…
