There is no need to go Samsonite monkey on it. If you are afraid to break something, then better have it done by somebody that knows these bikes.

I think there are almost zero dealers in Hawaii that know the MP3 system. Almost.

Some say push fluid uo from bottom with syringe? Can't figure out how that works unless you leave master cylinder for tilt lock open and push fluid up into cylinder.
