Well I should have replied sooner but I've been pretty frustrated with this thing. The problem did turn out to be a sticky switch in the front brake lever. I got that sorted out without much pain, rode the bike into work the next day with a grin on my face but then on the way I home I pulled up to a...

Hey guys, thanks for all of the replies. The fast flash does start immediately upon turning the key on, it never goes to the slow flash cycle.

I had disconnected the left caliper hose from the line before removing the fork leg (lost a little fluid but didn't t...
