Of all the **@&! I've ridden my new to me ST exactly twice since purchasing it. Just went out to the garage and just for grins decided to turn the rear wheel.... REALLY hard to turn by hand!!! The bike had 7800 miles on it when purchased and now has a whopping 8500 miles on the odometer.
I think I know what may have happened. The PO took the bike to the dealer before I bought it to get a "fluids change" a general tune up and the battery replaced. When I got the bike home I found an aluminum tab that one of the right side panel screws into completely stripped (already talked about this in another thread). I'll bet you the same incompetents who couldn't even screw in a fastener properly did a brake system flush. God I hate dealer service departments!
Because of a lot going on right now including an upcoming trip, I can't get to it for several weeks. When I get back, like all the other folks in the ST1300 bad brake club, I'll have some questions. Just needed to vent.
Guess I'll go online now and order the motion pro bleeder and get ready for the fun.
