Hi, I just picked up my new (to me) 87 FZ600 yesterday afternoon. There are a couple of things I've noticed and I figured I'd ask you guys for advice. First, the front brake lever goes all the way to the handlegrip. It does stop the bike when I roll it forward in the garage. But I assumed the lever would stop maybe half an inch before hitting the grip. The pads on boths front brakes are good, so it's not because the pads are worn out. Is it because I need to bleed the front brakes? If so, how do I do that? What else could be the problem? The previous owner did a nice thing for me and put a new rear tire on the bike for me. But I've noticed that it's a 130/90-18 tire, when the manifacturer calls for 120/80-18. Is that going to cause driveability problems? Nothing seems to rub anywhere, but I'm worried nonetheless. Thanks for your help.
