On my Concours, I used about 200 cc for my front brakes and fot the rear
about half that much fluid to flush.
Please let me know how the speedbleeders work out, I'm very interested.

He told me to add oil to the point that the level on the inspection =

The most simple solution is not to put any extra keys on your chain (joke)
Another solution might be to store your keys in a small leather bag, only
the contact key comes out and the keybag can hang in front of the crown.
This is what I do, and it works great

I just came in from the garage. I replaced the chain and sprockets on the

enough the importance of checking the torque on your countershaft sprocket
nut. These are not torqued down tightly from the factory and WILL work
Moist in your brake lines??
This should prevent the brakes from working.

Basically they have to be on as tight as possible.
We Dutch ride bicycles a lot. Most bicycles have rubber grips. Whenever they
