Thank You JagLite! You are right..the center light is for the Turn Signals. Only have one front working the other front is Broken..and their are No Signals on the rear of the bike! Picked up some aftermarket ones today, and will install all 4 tomorrow. Thanks for the Good Info! Respects.

Thank You Bucko! Your boiling hot water trick worked great! Got the Piston out, Cleaned it up good and used plenty of Brake Fluid putting it back together. Tomorrow I'll bleed the system and hope for the best! Respects.

I'm at work so can't check my bike, but I think the center indicator light is for the turn signals.
Do your signals work correctly?

I've read, but not tired, dropping the caliper in Boiling water for a while then try the air or grease (careful though, it will be hot!).  The hot water does two things: expands the aluminum caliper more than the steel piston and (the part I'm not sure is true) helps dissolve some of the crud that forms from the interaction of the brake fluid/moisture and the caliper/piston.

I've been working on a 99/1500 Drifter for some time now..living on SS and always a little short on cash..Today I took the bike out for my first ride on it..motor runs good and trans shifts OK..90% seems to work OK..but the center dash light starts blinking after it warms up..and I do not know what is causing it! The repair manuals that I have say Zero about the dash lights or what they are for!
Also..I have a front Caliper Piston(dual piston) stuck...tried air..pumped in grease..its stuck but good!
Any/All Ideas will help. Thanks.
