So far so good. The bike is coming along well as far as fixing the mechanical parts that needed work.
Oils and filters have been changed. The carburetor has been modified. And the speedo is working 90% of the time (I'm pretty sure moisture causes it to act up, oh well).
As the title would state, here is what's going on. The front brakes are pumping and make a loud click the first time they are applied. Ran it over to a local shop called Black Gold. The guys are awesome. And they pulled it up and looked at it. Front right brake rotor/disk needs to be replaced. It's warped. I bought a new rotor for around $80 and brake fluid, DOT 5 for $16. I bought brake fluid because the stuff in there is old and needs to be replaced. I should be able to do that myself. But will have the guys at Black Gold install the rotor. I don't want to play around with warping or ruining that. I might also be looking at replacing the front fork oil, it should have been done at 20k miles, but I have no idea if it was. If it's fine, I'll wait till 30k to do it.
I will try to get pictures of everything.
Oh, and I've got nearly 400 miles on her already. In 24 days, and having really cold and nasty weather. I'd say that's pretty good.
