Thank you very much Max. I am reconditioning a 1992 VFR800 I picked up on eBay that was left sitting outside for over 7 years. I just completed draining all of the hydraulics, cleaning all of the brake calipers (removed and cleaned all 9 pistons), and refilling and bleeding the system. It's a real job on this bike because it has linked brakes, ABS, two separate pressure regulators, and a third (secondary) master cylinder attached to the LH side front caliper. Everything looks good, except the rear brake drags. I guess I'll try cleaning the small hole in the rear brake master cylinder; maybe I'll get lucky and not have to bleed the entire system again (the air from this area should go up and out the reservoir by itself). What do you mean by the "banjo bolt" - the plastic connector to the master cylinder?
