Dragging Brakes Honda ST 1300 Pan European part 2, more issues but a happyish ending.

I have had this bike now around 6 months and it has had extensive work, for a 30,000 machine it has had it's problems. Now hopefully it's on the mend and will be able to be sold to a new owner who will have years of trouble free riding.

For next time you can make a vacuum tank by taking a metal weed sprayer, & turning the pump plunger up side down , along with the one way rubber check valve (which typically goes on the inside of the pump cylinder from it's original; position on the bottom outside).This way you rarely have to pump the bikes handlebar lever ,& you can also remove old reservoir fluid & dirt instead of pumping it through the system. You will have to make up your own hose to fit the bleeders. But it works great on cars too.!

Great tip, I will remember that. 👍

the rear brake pedal, i took off and cleaned old grease and applied new. it helped other than relying on spring to pull pedal back up.
