Honda Brake Oddness

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.
