so i finally got my bike running, wound up gettin a new unseald battery from pep boys. anyway i notice when i took it around the block and i pulled in the clutch my front end would dive. my roomate and i think its the calliper and its to tight. is there anyway to adjust it or will have to completly bleed the system and put new brake fluid in, i intend ot do that anyway since it has 7500 miles. any input would be appreciated.

Go ahead and bleed 'em.

I would recommend a Mity Vac system to help you - makes VERY short work of bleeding brakes and changing fluid.

About $35.00 from your automotive or motorcycle store.

I recomend a plastic tube(fits over the bleed screw) and a 16-24 oz soda plastic bottle

drill hole in cap/ put tube in cap/ 8mm wrench on screw/other end of hose on screw
bleed brake
and just keep filling the res til good clean fluid comes out the bleed screw

cost....about 2 bucks...and ya get a free soda
also keeps brake fluid off your tars

thanks for the tip, im all about mcguyvering things. like today i got a new unsealed battery from pep boys and it didnt come with the tube to fill the acid in the battery. so i cut a small piece off the battery overflow tube .
