Greetings
It has been a busy summer. Worked hard, rode lots.
I took our 03' K1200LT to the local dealer for the 12k mile "inspection." (Bought it new last November). Valves were all in spec, and all seemed fine except for a leaky rear seal. When I picked the bike up the rear brakes sqealed, and mileage decreased 20%. Upon inspection, after several hundred miles, brake dust was all over the rim, and the rear drive case was hot. Not good.
Back to the dealer, where they replaced the pads and inspected the brake calipers/pistons. They did not find a problem. After this, all seems to work fairly well except for an occassinal wierd clatter sound at the rear rotor when backing the bike up (manually).
Any ideas? It seems to me that a piston may be sticking. Are there known issues that I may not be aware of?
