Hey!
So I just got myself a nice vintage sportbike: a 1988 FZR 1000 Genesis.
The bike is running, but I already have a long to do list for the restoration of this sweet bike.
One thing that is weird to me is the rear brake: when applying a constant light pressure on the rear brake, it brake inconsistently, it will brake harder, then smoother, then harder, etc. following the same pace, it kinda feels like when you try to lock the rear wheel with an ABS bike.
The disc is not bent, I've put the bike on a stand and spin the wheel to check if it was bent (by eye)
I did plan on bleeding the brake with new DOT4 etc. during the restoration but I just though this was strange...
Any ideas?
Thanks
