Default grinding??!!??!!( after storing)

have had her under cover for the winter...today i took her out just for a trip around the block to see how everything was, i will be putting her back on the road in a couple of weeks.

now i have a grinding noise coming from the front right..its constint...also a little more vibration the the clutch pedal then i remember. accelerated good but the brake pedal was a little soft and also hered i little hissing from the rear brakes only when braking.

im think with the lack of use, temp and snow... my brakes are a little rusty???


any insite on what to do after storing for the winter would be great .

thanks

Check your brake fluid.... Hissing could be from a hole in brake lines. Pedal feels soft because there no brake fluid or theirs air in the brakes....

Wouldnt keep it in storage for a long time i would at least start it up and move it back and forth at least once/twice a week

I would drive her a little more, could be rust on the disks. Also were there any puddles on the floor where it was stored?
