Good evening all,
This evening I was working on my scooter some, changing the gear oil and also the engine oil. After changing both I put the scooter on the center stand to let it run for a couple minutes. As it was running a heard a noise that sounded like some air pressure coming from the rear tire. I started looking at the rear brake assembly and noticed that the black cap came broke. (looked like it was dry rotted) I would like to continue riding it this week but don't know if I should have a mechanic take a look at it or not. Also, the gold assembly piece is a little loose, not sure if it is supposed to be?
I have included a picture so you can understand what I'm talking about. Any help would be appreciated.

when you take the old pads out and you begin to depress those pistons only depress them enough to get the disc brakes into the caliper so they have just enough gap to go on the rotor 
Works great ;D 
never again)
