So later today, I'm going to replace the fluid. I was looking around for what to replace it with and can't find a solid answer. I'm about 260 lbs, so I'm not sure which weight to use for the oil. Some people are saying 7W ATF while others say stick to Yamaha 5W. What do you guys think? Sent...

Subbed and added to my list of repair lists. Awesome. If the seal starts leaking again, I might have to watch that video sooner than I want to. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

So I pulled the dust cover off and ran the Seal Master through it. Pulled out a bunch of gunk and the seal set immediately and stopped leaking. Cleaned it out as best I can and put the dust cover back. The fluid is obviously low because I'm able to move the right side up and down easily, but...

It's definitely the right seal. The caliper seal was leaking though for sure before. I know that because the leaking up front was way worse and after it sat for a month, it had no pressure on the front brake pedal anymore. Now the brakes work great, but that fork seal is leaking. Here's to it...

You posted the second I pulled the caliper off. All the seals and stuff on the brake look completely dry. I'm going to inspect the other three and see if they're in as bad shape as that leaking one was. If they are, I'll swap them out tomorrow. As far as the right fork, it's been sitting over...

I'm probably going to be pulling the caliper off again today, so I'll check to see if that's the case. Might just switch out the remaining three seals since I already have everything apart. I should add that this Tenere better appreciate the fact that I fell in love with it and I'm putting up...

Awesome. Thanks for the suggestions. Adding tightening the spokes to the to-do list. Glad I fell into another good community after selling my KLR. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

The piston itself looked fine, no pitting or wear as far as I can tell. I cleaned it with brake cleaner and didn't see anything. The seal around the piston looked like it had seen better days, so I switched it out with a new one, but there still seems to be a leak. I'll probably end up pulling...

I actually sprayed the bike down today with water, so that should get most of the whatever the fluid was off. I'll be back home in a few and can take a look at the forks again to see if it's one of them. Edit: I took a look at the forks again after I washed it down. I didn't see much oil, but...

At least take me out to dinner first. But in all seriousness, caliper is all put together. Pic wouldn't show much since there is a new seal there now. I can probably pull it apart in the next few days if necessary. That's what I thought it was originally, but the forks and fork seals were dry...

If I can't figure it out, I'll just hold out until warmer weather and hope heat breaks it in. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

Yeah, I flushed the brake fluid from both calipers in the front, starting with the right side which was leaking and then the left side. Used new DOT 4 brake fluid as well. As for riding, I don't mind riding in the cold, but weather has been consistently below 30, with rain showers, snow and...

2012 and just over 20k miles

So I winterized my Super Tenere about three months ago and noticed about a month ago that the front brake piston caliper was leaking. I removed the caliper, replaced the leaky seal, and bled the brakes. I took the bike out, brakes worked fine for 30ish miles and I discovered a spoke in the rear...

I was planning on doing this soon as well as Which I meant to ask earlier, how does one tighten the spokes on the brake disc side? Do I have to remove the wheel and then remove the disc as well?
