[De-linking brakes]

I am 68 and I still ride my 01 Bird. but I am old school, I never trusted the linked braking system, I would rather rely on my own skill to control the brakes, I disabled mine over 15 years ago.

no regrets. your rear caliper needs to come off and be disassembled and visually inspected, my guess is there are signs of corrosion accumulation in the lowest part of the caliper ( as it is mounted on the bike) depending on the amount of damage and with the proper tools, and skill this can be cleaned up, and be rebuilt.successfully.  the backup plan is to find one in a motorcycle salvage yard that is rebuildable.  unfortunately Dot 3 brake fluid draws moisture, which will settle in the lowest points in the system, I have plenty of experience with this because all C3 Corvettes came stock with  aluminum  calipers, as did Goldwings,  and everybody felt obligated to wash there bikes with pressure washer. (bad Idea)

There is no cheap fix for this, take your time, ask questions I am the old fat guy

Any chance you have pics of rear brake lines.  Currently de linking my 2000 bird and have the Jaws de link kit just not sure how to run rear brake lines.

Thank you for all the responses, will give them a try this weekend.

[Won't start]

Went for a ride last night and my bike just stopped running.  When I turn the key I don't hear the fuel pump like I have before, bike cranks just fine and it will start with starter fluid.

Once I stop using starter fluid it shuts off.  Just need to know where to start.
