Thanks for the advice......guess I'm going to have to suck it up and tear it all apart :-( the season will be winding down in a month or so. I may try and hold off and make it a winter project ........

Thanks for the advice guys but I don't think I was clear enough. The stiction I feel is when I am applying the brakes at the lever. The calipers themselves are releasing just fine. If I could compare it to a front fork that is sticking during compression. I think its sticking in the master cylinder.

I've been experiencing a sticky front brake over the last few weeks. I thought it was just the lever so I greased it and made sure the bolt was not over tight......yet no change. My next thought is the master cylinder. It feels like stiction I've never had this happen but anything is possible...

Perhaps you need to come over to the dark side..................... :rolleyes: Again.............you should try the darkside on a Michelin Pilot Exalto......cornering is lot's of fun!!! seriously, have you seen the videos of Brian?? (fjronamission) I've had mine on for 2 weeks now and I don't...

I see you fixed the switch......now that you're all in Canada....EH? Everything OK now??? I am soooo jealous BTW. That's a trip of a lifetime. Enjoy

Better yet.................He should put a CT on!!!

I guess it makes sense......but isn't that a bit much?? I don't think it makes that much of a difference, especially on the rear......but that's just me. If we "darksiders" are throwing CT's on just to save a few bucks why spend any more on brake pads?

I agree with fjronamission. The Exalto CT is outstanding!!! my observations thus far.... 1. It never "tracks" grooves 2. It only squirms a bit in deep ruts (from transports) 3. It is SOLID in corners 4. Unbeatable in the rain!!! 5. VERY smooth ride 6. It took less than 15 minutes to get...

I rode home the other day in an absolute deluge of rain, and I had a hard time getting the rear to break loose (Michelin Exalto)......very stable!!! Love the Darkside!!! :ph34r: :clapping: :clapping:

Nice job Rob!!! I see I'm not the only one that leaves the stickers on :rolleyes:

You have more than one????

Hmmmm...........between my wife and your GF, I can't keep my damn pipes clean!!!! :rolleyes: :blink: and yes.............had I removed the sticker before I rode, I might not have had that pucker moment on that first acceleration :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Ok..............I am now Canadian Darksider # ??? Picked up a Michelin pilot Exalto in Gatlinburg last week and threw it on yesterday.......by myself......with just the tools in the photo (and a bit of soapy water) I left it out in the sun for an hour and it really made it easier to pop on...

I'm heading to the Gatlinburg area tomorrow, and will be receiving my front PR2 I ordered from rockymountainatv (must have gotten the last one) I scored it for $88.19 (95.19 shipping inc) with the discount code!!!! I love the USA!! I might have bothered with the rear but had I know I could have...

I'm heading down in two weeks with the SO, and am working on planning rides. Aside from the usual routes west of Gatlinburg (Dragon, Cherohala, etc) I noticed the 107 (Round Mountain rd) and the 209 which runs up into Hot Springs. Anyone from the area have some advice on either of these?? or...

Heading to Gatlinburg in 2 weeks for some fun in the twisties and need to order a new front (still have a good rear and another wheel with a CT). I was wondering if anyone knows where a good deal on a PR2 (or other...) can be had. Anyone know??? Thanks in advance mattster
