The brakes were actually ok. So bought pads for the future I guess

whats up with your brakes?

Nothing. I felt like I was having a lot of lever to stop. So I thought maybe pads and a flush were needed. But pads had a ton of life left in them.

That's what I was concerned about. But tech said they look good feel good. Suggested steel braided for consistency. Which I know. So just hyper sensitive

I would wager a sticky caliper piston before lines... but maybe. I still have stock lines on my 02 RC and they are just fine. If you have a piston that is slightly sticky, it may work fine when you apply the brake but when you let off it can pull the piston back in a bit, causing a need for more lever before contact is made again. Hopefully thats at least as clear as mud. lol.

Brake rebuilds are easy and a good way to know your brake system inside and out. The rebuild kits are usually like 20-30 bucks and you just need fluid and tools to dismantle + some tubing to pump air out of brakes. Could do for a tech day

I might be to old to cut the mustard, but I can still lick the jar.
