I sent an email inquiry. Thanks!

Maybe someone cracked the nylon barb on the fuel fiter when they were changing it?

My kickstand swich gave me sudden drop-outs last spring. I'd be driving along and at ramdom times, the engine would suddenly stop and sometimes jerk and sputter. It always started up and kept going until the next occurance. I cleaned the kickstand switch and never had any more trouble. In your...

My first choice is to use the rear MC to push them out. Since there are 2 pistons in the Gen1 calipers, you have to block one side somehow so you can put pressure behind the other piston. Sorry, I can't remember how I got both pistons out. I might have clamped one side when it was out "far...
