brakes

Hello all! Just changed out the brake and clutch master cylinders and reservoirs my V2. I decided to replace the stock rubber lines between the reservoir and master cylinder with clear lines, for that oh so sweet gp style aesthetic. While it looks cool, I am more concerned about the longevity of...

Hello everyone, pardon me for not following the guidelines when I first posted this. I'm asking for $650.00 negotiable. Thanks for looking.

So everything I saw on YouTube and read in reviews, plus the lighter weight of my V4 from my S1000RR makes me believe that it will brake better.. but from what I can tell, my S1000 feels more sure footed, and less spongy... The Ducati stopes fine, but feels "Faded".. I did install Rizomo...

Guys I have a RCS19 on my ZX10R track bike and SS lines with no anti lock brakes. The bike stops amazing and the lever is solid as a rock when you pull it. Now I've noticed on my 1299SA it's spongy and not as solid. I blead the brakes and not really any better. Is that because of the anti lock...

Will short levers for brakes and clutch damage or alter the electronic sensory?? I am thinking of doing this mod but too afraid to alter the electronic sensory :(

Hi guys, I'm still getting used to riding on the track. I now ride only on the track, I'm slowly converting my 2013 base ABS beast in to a track only bike. I never realized how hard you have to (and are able to) hit the brakes. Also, never realized how hard I have to squeeze my inner thighs...

So, this past weekend, I replaced my first set of tires and front pads. I went with the 120/70-17 front Q3 paired with the 190/55-17 Q3 rear. As for pads, I pulled the stock ones and put in new EBC HH Sintered pads. The FA447HH ones. Wow, what a difference. As others have stated, the...

Been having no issues with my front brakes until October 2015 last year when I noticed the front brakes kept going mushy and pulled right to the lever. Almost zero pressure. Was on the original OEM brembos MC. Bleed the brakes, 1-2 weeks later back to mushy. repeat cycle. Checked the brake...

Firstly, sorry for not being on for a while but my family has just got one bigger and has taken up some of my time, anyway, the important stuff. When I bought my R (front brakes same as the 1299 I believe?) the front brake lever felt solid. Then while in for service I changed the levers and...

They feel like twice the power of my 899 brakes. Does anyone use tank grips to help them stay locked in the tank under braking and if so which ones? Or are these just for hanging off in a track environment. One concern (because I'm a tart) is ruining the appearance of the tank as I have...

Didn't want to immediately jump to replacing the whole brake system on 899 track bike, so I'm trying a couple things first. 1. Removed the floating brake pad pin, drilled out the threads, and replaced it with a GR 12.9 6mmx55mm bolt, and a mechanical lock nut (no nylock here). Lever feel...

My front brakes started to pulsate and I took it in to Fraser in Perth yesterday. They said it was uneven run off on front tyre and asked me to pay 300 bucks for it to be replaced. Tyre did not solve the problem and now they say the suspension was set up incorrectly. New front tyre and new brake...

I am going to bleed/flush my brake (and clutch) system. I've read the thread AntiHero wrote which entails the conventional pumping method. This is also the method that the service manual shows. However does anybody have any experience using a pneumatic vacuum bleeder?

Does anyone else have this? Just checking in.

For 2013, Aprilia updated the RSV4 with Brembo M430 brakes up front. How do these compare to the M50's on our bikes?

So I recently attended a track day at PBIR this weekend and a couple of issues came up. First I blew my valve cover gasket a second time. Luckily it happened at the last session of the day. Second at 7K miles I ended up warping and glazing my rotors. Third and finally I realized I really need a...

Is there anything special with bleeding the ABS brakes ? Ina car I usually use a diagnostic tool that is bidirectional to pump the abs module

Just got 400 Milles on the bike the brakes are squawking pretty bad Any body has the same issue ?

I picked up my Pani in December so it has been a long wait for the first ride. It was a nice sunny day with temp around 10 degrees here in Ontario today so it was the perfect opportunity. When I got the bike outside I notice the brake lever is not firm. I squeeze it a few times and it seems...
