[QUOTE="BugR, post: 755659, member: 648"] I bet you have some of that sand in the seal. You don't have to top up if it is a few drips, there is over a pint in in leg. Do spray the fork and disk with brake cleaner and wipe them off, Have a rag over the caliper to protect the pads. If you can't find 35 mm film then overhead transparencies is another source. Blister pack packaging, plastic bottles, windscreen wash bottles, credit cards (expired ones are best, don't use the missus's if you like sex) might work but make sure they aren't too thick, it has to bend around the fork tube, thin and stiff is what you are looking for. Check around the house you will find something. Also credit to Moosehead for suggesting this last monday, bad enough for the CFR Rally master to have to ride a Versys 'cause he didn't have time putting the FJR back together, I could have been stuck in the Siena.
