brake

My bike came with the Clear Alternatives integrated LED tail light, which I don't think is bright enough for braking and definitely not visible enough for turning. I also keep saddlebags on the bike 95% of the time, so I want to mount extra LEDs on the bags. I plan to use the "Eagle Eye" style...

Hey Guys wanted some opinions. My front brakes needs to be changed but I'm not sure if its something I want to do myself or not. Brakes are not something to mess around with and I've done a lot of mechanical fixes but I've never even changed a brake pad on a car let alone a bike. There are...

Yamaha has released lighting parts in EU but not in the US. Can someone point me towards a trusted dealer who won't rip me off? Perhaps a web url or call them and ask about pricing on these? Short video in operation. Winkers w/DRL Front: PN# YME-FLB2F-00-00 https://youtu.be/tcJ8rI-mPk4...

I need the opinions of the riders in this community. I am a tinkerer, and my latest project is a brake-light flasher for FZ6’s with stock tail lights using LED bulbs. I am not doing this to make a commercially available product, I am just playing with micro controllers and learning circuit...

Hi, I own a '06 FZ6 N (Euro spec, 98 hp) and are considering upgrading from the stock floating calipers, to some 4 pots either from a R6/R1/FZ6 S2 - have anyone done this mod, and if so, would like to share some experience? Like, how much of a difference it makes? Furthermore, any troubles...

First Happy New Year all Got a squeak on the rear brake I've not had before and hope someone can help Firstly I had a pulsing rear brake, wasn't right and I believed it to be a warped disc Replaced the disc (used part), replaced the pads (New EBC HH), cleaned up the piston, reassembled...

On my Ducati. Took me a year after purchasing the bike brand new, that this bike didn't have a clutch cable. Or at least, it takes some sort of fluid, some say it's the same as brake fluid. Pictured below is my clutch reservoir, which appears dark, and a noticeable amount of clear fluid on...

Hey fellow riders, I have a problem I can't figure out. My front brakes wont pressurize. I've bled a lot of brakes during my time, and have never had problems with this before. This is what I did: - removed both calipers (they were working perfectly before) - dismantled everyting, keeping...

I was trying to clean and lubricate the rear brake caliper. There is a small metal section within the brake caliper. Here is a picture. It popped out and I'm not sure which way it goes back in. Most notably there are two small tabs that poke outwards. In the above image they are both on...

This is from a 2011 FZ6 S2. I noticed that the rear brake pads rub against the disk. I can hear the rubbing when the bike is moved in neutral, but it generally rolls OK. I think that I've been riding it like this for at least a few weeks. Is this a problem? I'd like to remove the brake...

Anyone used these volar brake pad sets sold by d2moto on amazon? Super cheap, but if they work I'll get two. If they are truly garbage (which is where I'm thinking) where do you guys get your pads from? Tried using the search function but when "Brake" has no matching results I'm doing something...

Hello, New rider and owner of a 05 FZ6. Things have been great so far but noticed some wiggle (mainly up and down) in my clutch and brake lever. I don't see anything I can tighten on the clutch side, the brake looks like it will fit an allen wrench up top but unsure. Any ideas?

The other day I took off both of my front brake calipers and dismantled them in two pieces .. inside the brake caliper just underneath the brake pads there was a BRAKE PAD RETAINER CLIP I believe is the name of it... I am sure I had taken one off but I can't find the other one.. unless there was...

I've got a Givi top case from my previous bike that I want to mount on my new-to-me FZ6. I've got the mounting rack and plate in hand (not installed yet), but recall that the light kit on the case wasn't working when I took it off the old bike. In order to test the bulbs, I'm wondering how...

Recently I replaced my stock lines with new Venhill braided lines. I bought the carbon-look ones. I additionally replaced all the seals and pads. Overall it was a straightforward process, although I did have a little trouble getting the front brakes to firm up when bleeding them. Since the...

Sold

I ended up with an extra set (4 pads total, does a complete brake job on the front) of EBC pads. They are organic pads, drop in fit for the front calipers on the FZ6 and a few other bikes. I paid $60 for them, I'll send them to you for $45. Shoot me an email at [email protected] for the...

So, I did a brake flush today. But I think I may have messed it up ? I attached the speed bleeding kit to the speed bleeder valve on my front right brake and then opened the valve, and pressed the front brake to pump fluid through the system. I pumped until the reservoir was low then I topped...

Hi All, It has been a busy week on my bike--new tires front and back, cleaned the calipers (did NOT replace caliper seals) and bled the brakes. I went with the Bridgestone BT-023 tires and am very excited to see how they feel. I cleaned the front calipers, pads and rotors are in good shape...
