RSV Rear lockup solved!!!

[RDawson]

Guaranteed my rear brakes won’t lock up. I changed the oil recently and left the drain pan in front of my bike in the shop, a few days later some circling wind decided to relocate my shop roof into the woods out back. Two days of downpours followed raining into the shop overflowing the drain pan into a nice big slick on my floor, the falling rain splattered the oil all over the bike including I guess the rotors. Without really thinking about it I took it for a test run the next week, I quickly realized at the end of the driveway no matter how hard I stomped the pedal there was absolutely no chance of lockup. I can’t really recommend this design of antilock brakes though as the stopping distance is exponentially increased. 🤬🤬🤬

Good news the metal for the new roof gets here tomorrow. Hopefully next week it won’t rain in my shop anymore. Bad news the wife’s Jeep managed to cushion  a tree limb from hitting the ground too hard in the same storm, gotta get it to the body shop.

Sorry to hear about all that damage.  Glad nobody got hurt.
