Getting there. Resigned myself to the fact that I should put it into a garage though, as I'm not getting anywhere and would like to ride it this year if possible! Called a local guy who came highly recommended and he described my symptoms before I got the chance. He said he'll open the valves in the abs module with a diagnostic tool, jack the front up 600mm and leave it overnight, and bleed it afterwards, in the hope that the air will make its way to the front from the abs lines. He wants to strip and rebuild the calipers himself too. Told him about the marked pistons and he didn't seem concerned but time will tell! It's going in next week. ---- 2008 Bandit 1250
