Kari has surprised me by going to the MVA and getting her learners permit. We talked about riding the Wing tomorrow to the farmers market, then going to the mall and doing a riding lesson. We're out pretty early, I think we'll get to the mall no later than 8:30, which should give us some time on an empty parking lot.
After changing the brake fluid on all three brakes of the K, I looked over and noticed that the brake fluid was low on the wing. I had the vacuum pump out and ready to go. The only problem I ran into was that the Wing uses DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID. The beemer uses 4. I had an old bottle of DOT 3, it had never been opened so I used it. I don't think it's the best but it would do until I get a fresh bottle of DOT 3.
The flush and fill went without a hitch, except that I did over fill the reservoir and spilled a little on the tank. I wiped it off, and went and got a soapy paper towel to wipe things down. I hope that did the trick.
