Excellent thread and thank you for the contributors.
Got my first ST a few weeks ago and found this mess under when I took off the lower fairing to do an oil change a few days ago. Had ordered OEM CSC seals, spring and bonjo washers as preventive service as bike is at 54k miles. Reservoir is at minimum level and quite dirty inside.
I've cleaned up a fair bit. I suspect one of the previous owners did the CSC rebuild but didn't use the right size washers - 3rd (top) washer missing too perhaps. Leak seems to be from the bottom half of the bonjos.
Before I tackle this job, do I need any additional parts? I'm not sure what damage caked brake fluid would have done to the bonjos and the bonjo bolt. Potential washers mating surfaces issue? What to look out for?
Thanks for your guidance.
