I knew the coolant had to be changed as it has been through too many heat cycles in the heat of Oregon, and last year on the way back from Montana. The fork oil change was recommended by my mechanic. All seems good now, more solid feel and all systems have been checked out. I have to look into those "speedbleeders"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-81315721549234965312012-06-14T14:52:21.600-07:002012-06-14T14:52:21.600-07:00Bob, if you ever decide to service your own brake ...Bob, if you ever decide to service your own brake lines....highly recommend replacing the stock bleeder caps with "Speedbleeders", they make the job simple to do. I read that brake fluid is hygroscopic (sp?) in that it absorbs water from air and thus it breaks down eventually. It could very well be the heat cycles you mention too. Anyways, once a year, I do all my motorcycles....just don't splash the stuff on the paintwork!<br /><br />dom<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://redlegsrides.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Redleg's Rides</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-14097-Colorado-Motorcycle-Travel-Examiner" rel="nofollow">Colorado Motorcycle Travel Examiner</a>redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-34546438351744212572012-06-14T11:58:53.495-07:002012-06-14T11:58:53.495-07:00Tony:

Mine is water resistent only, but have never gotten wet despite rainy rides. This time of year I often wear the textile to work, zip it off and ride home with the mesh. Of all my mesh jackets (I have three) the Flex is the most open mesh and the coolest when temps warm up. Tourmaster makes some nice stuff. <br /><br />I did break the zipper pull early on (I've done this to a number of zippers actually...too impatient me thinks). added a corded loop and I like that better anyway. Easier to grasp in gloves. <br /><br />The gorilla looks like a match for the Lamborghini :)Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.com
