What aftermarket air/fuel (i.e. Power Commander/Bazzaz) controllers are you using? Also, what Brake Lines are you using? I will be home again in August and am looking at goodies for the s. I only got to ride it about 100 miles before I had to head back to the sandbox, but I noticed it was very...

Hi guys, I need some advise regarding brake pads for racing, I have quite some issues, regarding wear and drag. When I put new pads on the bike - the calipers get cleaned and checket for smooth piston movement - no problems. After app. 0,5 - 1 hour on the track - I get more and more...

Like the title says,how do you begin to remove the rear disc using a rear paddock stand?! The stand uses the tube that has to be removed in order to undo the disc,am I right? Please help someone :confused:

Anyone know which Brembo compound the OEM front pads use? SA or SC?

I have a spongy rear brake, despite spending some time trying to bleed the system both by pumping with the pedal and by using a vacuum bleeder at the caliper nipple. There are some threads that suggest removing the rear caliper and holding it above the rear master cylinder or using the old...

All, Does any one have or know of a remote adjuster for the DP brake lever? I have the great Gunny looking, but was hoping someone out there may already know. Thanks Jock

I was stopped by another Ducatist. He said my brake and clutch fluids were too dark and should be "yellowish" color. I looked at his and they were in fact a "yellowis" color. I think he had an 03 or 04 998s. Is everyone else's brake and clutch fluids very dark.

I bled my fronts and clutch, but can't get the rear pedal to firm up. Have bled it 6-7 times with a mighty vac as well as the old fashion way with my daughter stepping on the brake pedal.Even went as far as to disconnect the slave and reservoir to elevate to above the caliper and no luck. Any...

Alright, so about 1000 miles ago I installed some rizoma rearsets on my 1199, yesterday while I was riding around on the street I notice the bike dragging the rear while in neutral, eventually in stopped the bike, rear brake locked up, so I unscrew the push rod and ride it home. I figure it...

I installed the rear set and everything is great but I cant figure out how to get the brake light wire and plug setup. I called their tech support and they said the dealer had to do it because of the ABS? Is there anyone that installed these and did it themselves that could explain how and where...

I received my Australian recall letter 863/12 by registered post this morning. One of the contained issues was the brake master bolt rub issue which is pretty old news in my book and my tri was delivered with the fix (plastic dome nut) in place back in October. However I just happened to misread...

Is anyone replacing their brake fluid when it turns black? I have seen heaps of photos posted by forum members that have black rear brake reservoirs as well. Now my front reservoir fluid has turned black. Very unusual for that much discolouration in 5000 kms! Will replace with Motul RBC 600.

Hi, Any of you race guys eliminated the brake light error after removal of the brake light ? Could a resistor do the job ?

These are hard to photograph, Puig aftermarket windscreen.On bumpy roads this bike is brutal on its components.Going to dealer for slight front brake reservoir leak and strange imperfections under clear coat on top of gas tank.:rolleyes:

Installed the DP adjustable levers, they are great. However I am having problems getting the brake light to come off. No matter how I adjust the brake lever or the tiny plastic tube that makes contact with the brake light sensor the brake lights have a tendency to stay on when the lever is...

Hello everybody, I had the bad/wonderful idea to install the Rizoma oil reservoirs on my bike. The technician realised that the hose supplied by Rizoma was too large to fit and being at a yamaha dealer he tried to fit one from an R1. When I got home I noticed a small leakage from the bottom...

I'm going to flush the brake & clutch fluid through this winter and replace with Motul 660. Does the 1199 have a standard bleeding process or is there any special trick or process linked to the ABS.

On the ride down to the Philip Island over the weekend, the guy I was riding down with commented that my brake lights were constantly flickering on. We swapped bikes so I could see, and sure enough, the brakes lights were on more than they were off. Has anyone else experienced this?:confused:

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the top of the brake reservoir fouling on the inside of the windscreen/fairing mount? I checked the mounting brackets and everything is tight, but i noticed the bracket is quite flimsy so not sure if I can slightly bend it or another...
