Front left Brake leak
Hi, I found a puddle under my front end today. I pulled off the fairings on the left side of the forks and found alot of wetness from what looks like a master cylider that sits high on the back of the left fork. Any help with how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Front left Brake leak
Left side leak always raises the specter of a fork seal leak first, given they blow frequently due to a stuck ADV. Are you sure it isn't fork oil?

Re: Front left Brake leak
My first thought also was a fork seal leak - especially on the left side because that is the one that typically fails first.tamathumper wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 4:49 am Left side leak always raises the specter of a fork seal leak first, given they blow frequently due to a stuck ADV.
