It spent a few weeks at the dealer, but my DLX is finally back home.
- New rear brake rotor
- New rear brake pads
- Brake and clutch fluid flush
- New rear tire
- New headlight bulb
The rear brake was warped, possibly by me but more likely by the prior owner. The rear wheel was stiff to turn and made a grinding noise. I thought it was the bearings, but that’s why I don’t wrench on my bikes beyond simple stuff like oil changes. I would have spent twice the money chasing and replacing good parts without really knowing why. Yes, I could have easily replaced the headlight bulb myself but since they already had the bike, it was just another line item on the work order.
