After the new rear shock, front tire, new master cylinder, bled the brakes all around, she is so smooth!!!
Before, she was jerky, on the throttle and off, shes jerk on and off, like an on-off switch. Didnt help that I bought her with enough chain slack to rub the center stand. All fixed, .5 inch of movement on its side stand now. perfect.
Before, shed go great straight, but never want to leave it. in turns, shes feel jerky and wobbly, like she either wanted to lay down or stand up, not lean.
Now, she pushes me to go further! But, I know new tire needs break in time, and the rear tire is the wrong ply, so I dont.
Before, when I used the front brake, it was like an on-off switch, either it was full braking, or non, modulation was about 1mm of play. Maybe it was the old oil, or whatever.
Now, the front feels GREAT! I can use it comming to a stop and NOT nose dive. I thought it was the shitty springs, but, it was also the brakes. I used to use the rear brake under 15mpg just because the front would make me nose dive, now, I can 50-50 it and be perfectly level.
She feels like a fighter plane now, going straight, she wants to lean it feels like, and if i corner, she goes with me without a fight..
I LOVE IT!
THANK YOU GSTwin, without these resources, it would have never made me check general maintenance stuff, or the desire to make it better.
