Morning all, just brought my newly acquired 2002 RSV R home. A little scary as the front brake disappeared completely within 10 miles. Made it safe back though and now looking forward to bleeding the front brakes and some nice sunshine to try it out properly. If your around Wiltshire you should hear me coming.
 
Welcome "Bonge"...dont forget to post up some pictures otherwise we will donate it to QinetiQ !!

Front brake failure thats a new one, normally they just have non working back brakes !!
 
Strange thing, came out the yard with full brakes 10 miles latter and the lever is back to the handle bars. Let it stand for 10 mins and the brake pumped back up on the lever. Bit of a worry but I'll give them a bleed and see what happens
 
Just had the bike in the air and found throttle side front disc seriously warped, still a nice easy fix thankfully but have to wonder how only one disc warps?
