I copied below from the Texas board....when hg finished the brakes...all three tires...replaced the ABS wheel....long story....bled the brakes a couple of times...the "Brake Failure" came across the screen....read everything we could find on the board and called dealer.. set up appt today....go in to dealer... hook up BUDS lots of codes...mostly "low Voltage" ...been having battery problems.....just purchased a new battery from dealer...so tech tells us to go home charge battery...and make an appt for Tuesday.....$47.00....started home on the Spyder "Brake Failure went away and was replaced with "Check Engine"..just road her home...turned the key off...turned the key back on...all codes gone...hope they stay gone.....
Workin' on FB's Spyder
Putting the new generation brake pads on FB's bike.... Found the piston on the rear caliper had some damage from when the bolt came loose and trashed 6 spokes on the ABS trigger wheel... removed the caliper and took out the piston... a little file work, and cleaned it up and re-installed working good now!!!!!
Noticed several cracks in the supports for the rear fender.... pulled both of them and cleaned off the paint..... actually looked like powder coat... did a dye penetrant to see how far the cracks had traveled..... found the ends of the cracks... drilled them out and welded the cracks.... ground and polished all to a nice finish... will start re-painting tomorrow..
Told FB: if the women don't find ya handsome.... they should at least find ya handy....;)
