first off, bleed the brakes when ever you remove the calipers and hang them...went to stop and the front brake lever pulled all the way to the throttle, moment of panic until I released and grabbed again...full power, obviously an air bubble (complete pucker moment)...
second, the 'other' fork seal is leaking really badly and making a huge mess, not to mention coating the rotor with oil which is really helping the braking distance

third, and most important, I didn't get the bearings fully seated...they started snapping and popping on the way to work...so I rode over to the dealer to ask what the problem could be (hadn't quite figured what the noise was yet), and in my frustration I asked if they would be interested in taking the MT-01 in trade on a new bike...they looked at me and said "no, they're too hard to sell"...straight face, no smile...they're the jerk offs that sold it to me...DAMN!!


Anyway, I've since figured out the problem and will order new parts (and get them to press them in properly

SMAS - Sudden Motorcycle Acquisition Syndrome. I want a sport touring bike

We'll see...I'm going to miss the sound of the MT-01, but I think having 400kms+ of range will sound better to me!!
Later.
