1. Replace front brake lever
2. Flush front MC, bleed. Very grody and dry too. But just enough fluid in lines to enable front brake action. Bled.. noticed that MC has no air bubble from either little hole. Put small screwdriver in RHS hole, some small bubbles. Leading to:
3. Pulled both calibers. Pistons may be moving, but not by very much. Should probably buy master cylinder kit and new pistons and seals for the calipers.
4. Lubed clutch cable. Inspected other end throw out mechanism.
5. Lubed clutch lever pivot.
6. Will vinegar hurt the fuel tank level sensor?
7. Unfroze petcock
