Looking for some thoughts. I'm now in the south of Germany after riding all day. Next stop Turin.
Somewhere along the journey, is guess about 2.5hrs in, I got a brake failure warning on the dash...but the brakes work just fine so I'm thinking it must be electronic.
Now there's a story attached to this. I'll try to keep it short:
Before these trips to Italy, which are around 2.5k miles there and back, I tend to check and change the oil in the FD - call me paranoid! But it's only 200ml. This time on draining the oil it was all emulsified so clearly water had gotten in. I dropped the FD also and found it to be dry and clean on the input side.
I decided the rubber vent had probably hardened with age, so bought another and fitted it - I also changed the oil again in the hope of perhaps ridding it of any residue water/moisture. Additionally, I had the speed sensor out to replace it's O-ring.
Fast forward to today. I'm guessing I've somehow buggered the sensor? Speedo is dead on start up for about 2 miles, then comes to life, so I guess the system is switching to the front sensor?
Are these sensors expensive? Are they sensitive to handling? I was deliberately gentle with it, but maybe it's age and the cable is damaged inside?
Thanks for any ideas
