Quote from: FJmonkey on Today at 10:59:43 AM.....This is also why some of us have converted to DOT5 (ok for street but can't take the higher heat of hard frequent braking.Au contraire my simian amigo... DOT 5 has substantially higher wet and dry boiling points than DOT 3/4.

Pat, I like that big chunky "heel" on your side stand, does the extra weight affect the stand staying put when in the "up" position ... like when your riding, doesn't bounce around?
What's it made of and how did you fix it on ?
I've been Thinking of a carbon fibre block underneath .

Quote from: filsurs on Yesterday at 10:41:51 AMwhat will be the effect if tie-down the handle?That lets the bubbles float up to the reservoir overnight where they no longer cause softness in the brake lever. I do this after service too. Also works on the clutch.
Quote from: 86FJNJ on Yesterday at 08:25:28 AMMy suggestion would be to remove the rear wheel and check everything and likely just change the wheel bearings. Have you ever changed wheel bearings before?thxs...will have a look
How many miles are on your chain and sprockets?
These bearings should be what you need if your FJ is 1984-1990

Quote from: Sparky84 on November 07, 2025, 03:49:53 PMAs suggested, tie that lever back and it seems there is still air in there somewhere.what will be the effect if tie-down the handle?
More bleeding, more and more.
Jiggle that lever, don't pull it all the way it but just giving it multiple jiggles (and you are only just moving it a touch).
