Honda Brake Oddness

  1. Bloody Sochiro...

    I've been having a little BGN-stylee trouble with my back end[1][2] in
    the last few days. I thought it was the caliper pistons or seals, so I
    removed the caliper and cleaned it all up. It wasn't too bad to begin
    with, and you could eat your dinner off it now,

    But it didn't solve the problem.

    After a great deal of head-scratching I was looking at the front end
    when I noticed I'd slightly mis-routed the speedo cable after the
    head-bearings spannerfest. For want of something better to do I sorted
    that out.

    And cured the back brake problem...

    The cable had been pushing against the secondary master cylinder that
    actuates the back brake as part of the CBS system and slightly applying
    the brake.

    Odd coves, Pans.

    This nicely demonstrates one of Life's Great Truths: just like when
    you think it's fuel, it is inevitably sparks - and when you have
    problems with your back end, it is always the front end to blame. And
    vice versa, of course.
    I can't see why you equate BGN with soemthing unnaturally pushing
    something else out of the way. Unless it was kidneys you were
    thinking of.
    They're not alone.
    I always thought GIS was something to do with digital mapping, too.

    I used to work with a guy who had had most of his large intestine removed,
    and one day he was explaining to several of us how grotesquely painful the
    rectal exams were.

    "Hah!" quoth I. "I know people who could make you enjoy it."

    Nobody else seemed particularly pleased with the concept...
