It's hell out there, I tell you. Hell!
yes, if you go downhill continuously you will surely end up in Hell...   :dunno   :mbird
That explains it! Thanks. I was worried there for a while.

Heat can produce pad resin gasses that cause fade and then the pads recover when cooled.


Hey, I've learned something!


Of course the dealer recommends a new master cylinder, they want to sell parts.

Switch to a pressurized nitrogen cooled master cylinder. Definitely guaranteed not to boil brake fluid, and can be used to cool your tinnies.
