I first thought that the pads were badly rusted but it seems like paper on the back but I suspect it's paint.
Before and after pad clean up.

The reservoir did not empty so no air got in from the top. Calapers and pads back in and re attached to forks, I have pumped the leaver and but obviously its going to need bleeding.
But will I have to do both sides I am thinking that the other side will be ok.
If it matters its braided lines two piece via a double banjo at the reservoir

now... 64 million dollar question... is it worth going... cap... thermostat... before I go head gasket??? There is quite a build up of pressure when opening the cap... even now when it is cold... I will try and post a diagram of how I have installed the pipework... most have been changed for new from AS3...

I fitted some renthal ultra lows years ago and I don’t like them. They are too low and I feel I have to stretch for them and it’s uncomfortable.

What nice high up bars fit without having to change the throttle cables etc

I do not claim that these add anymore more top end power... for me, it was purely for looks but they also come with advantages... the carbs are so much easier to remove and refit once the airbox has gone haha]]>

However here in the Netherlands I can't find any ignition switch + gas cap set for the 2002 model, but there is one available for the 2001 model.
Is there any difference in these two parts? The part# are different for both models, but they look very similar if not the same if you ask me.

Part# for FZS600 2001:
Ignition Switch: 4NA825010200

The millimeter-level precision of the internal valving and shim stack is practically bulletproof, obliterating the typical fade you see during aggressive riding. I’ve spent countless late nights wrenching on suspension setups to fight the terror of thermal drift, where fluid viscosity breaks down and ruins your rebound. Nitron engineered this billet aluminum masterpiece with a massive remote reservoir to manage heat soak perfectly.
Dialing in the sag and high-speed compression transformed the Fazer's heavy rear end into a precision scalpel. The fluid dynamics here keep the shock stroke buttery smooth even when pushed to absolute thermal limits.
I know some of you are running similar high-end suspension architectures on your heavy sport-tourers. So I have to ask the hardcore tuners here: when you’re pushing big miles and the exhaust temperature starts creeping into the aluminum linkages, how do you guys perfectly dial in the settings for this heat soak issue?
