Well today it was 70+ and sunny and I think I mentioned it before that all of a sudden over the winter my front brakes where gone. In the winter in the garage I just checked the fluid and I tried to pump it and I did get a little bit of pressure but it went away and It was to cold to be messing around with the Trike.
But today since it was the 1st VERY NICE WARM day around here my brother in law came over on his CAM-AM LIMITED(30K) machine, man is it nice what a machine. So we chatted a bit and that gave me the incentive to work on my front brakes. So after he left I took the caliper off and the pistons where just stuck in the extended position I sprayed them with Carb Cleaner and stuck a screwdriver side ways and pushed the pistons back then I squeezed the brakes and they popped back out shut. Opened them a couple more times and pumped them up and "VOILA" it now has great pressure and it only took 15 minutes to fix MAN THAT WAS HARD WORK WHAT A SWEAT JOB.
Checked the oil level, poured some gas in the 4.7 gallon tank, started it up and checked the lights and and tires and went for a nice little ride. Sure felt good having the wind in your face life is good.
