  • How the heck do I pull this thing off?!?

    Coming from the front master cylinder-The electrical connection to the brakes. I just don't see a way!

    There is a round hole on the top and bottom where that wire is inserted into the brake lever area. Press a small screwdriver into both holes at the same time to release the clips to let that wire fall out. Don't worry, I had the same struggle with mine until I realized it was just a springy bit of plastic holding it in.

          PLENTY! I've only owned one bike, and never had the engine out of the frame. I just like to absorb this stuff.
