Spring and salt avoidance
Hi folks,
Those who live in areas with a lot of road salt may want to have your brakes checked. There is a known problem of rotor rust for folks who live near salt water and I've seen some pretty ugly pictures of corroded brake assemblies. A little preventative maintenance now might avoid expensive rotor and brake rework.
At a minimum, pull a front tire and check both sides of the rotors and a general "look over" everything. Preventative maintenance is much, much cheaper.
