I expected the rear bake fluid to have a yellow tint like the front. But they said the reservoir was full. So after I got the bike back I took it out in the sun and tapped the reservoir a few times. There is a clear liquid in there.
Using the rear brake more, but the rear wheel still does not spin smoothly when lubing the chain. I still think there is something other than the pads rubbing against the rotor.
The front brake still squawks when coming to a complete stop. I feel like that guy in the convertible with the squeaky brakes on the Midas commercial. Good thing I only come to a standing stop when forced by traffic to do so. I also wear good ear plugs.
Rode over 600 kilometers (375 miles) today on my day ride. Within an hour my back and butt were bothering me. The back got better, but I had to make a lot of butt stops. Standing on the pegs only provided temporary relief. Tried just pushing down on the pegs while remaining seated, but it was hard on the legs and provided little relief. I should have left my Coleman MadDog ATV pad on the seat.
