Fixed my yics of an internal leak. My idle was all over the place before but now it idles nice.this site is really helpful.
My '82 runs really nice.but the front brake seems a little soft or maybe i'm comparing it to my cbr.

The Vision single disc is no ball of fire. All other visions have dual disc brakes, only the North American '82 has one. There used to be a after market 4 pot caliper available , but thats not available anymore. Some visionaries are adapting R1 or R6 discs , calipers and master cylinders from late 90's or early 2000 sport bikes. Some years ago I adapted a  two pot caliper, to the stock disk and that was a big improvement. I discontinued it when I salvaged the brakes off of a vision racer. A braided steel hose and sintered iron pads will soup up the stock set up  and not cost too much.
