[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1424023, member: 19880"] Fully bleed ALL hydraulics. Clutch, both front calipers, FRONT LINKED PISTON PAIR (lower bleeder on right caliper), rear caliper. Remove rear brake pedal and clean/grease pivot. Do yourself a favor and clean up the shift linkage and pivot while you are at it. Do the clutch and brake handlebar levers - don't forget to clean/grease the brass bushing on the clutch lever. I am guessing that the rear brake will come back. Probably some air in the system. It would be a very good idea to activate the ABS and let it cycle some fresh fluid through it. Either on a sandy parking lot or using a jumper and the following: Probably should read up the info in the Service Manual. Hopefully the ABS block is OK - Gen II seem to be more robust than the Gen I blocks. Seal problems aren't common and I would definitely flush fluid and exercise the ABS system before rebuilding the master cylinder (or slave cylinder(s)). [/QUOTE]
