Hey folks,
So I bought my bike quite awhile back ('93 600) with a leaking left fork seal; the left front caliper is soaked in fork oil and is a darker color than the right.
I plan to change all brake pads for safety before riding the bike, but I am wondering how the fork oil could have affected brake components other than the pads. Is my whole caliper simply well-lubricated now, or is there any concern with the interaction of the oil and other parts? Is it necessary to rip it apart and rebuild (ugh)?
Thanks!
