brake

It's mostly a theory but I wanted to ask. I upgraded brakes by HEL lines and gold EBC brake pads. Also put 10W for oil. I have S1 so the calipers cannot be changed without fork change. I could look for S2 forks and calipers (plug and play comparing to R6 mod) as R6 calipers and S2 calipers are...

I am ashamed to say that I haven't ridden my bike this year :spank: Now that summer is coming I don't just want to fire up and ride, I'm also not in a position to do much myself so it's off to the dealer. It's a 2004 with almost 51,000km on the clock. Compared to what I have read here...

:confused: After this thread about brake squeaking that I cleaned, changed brake fluid. The squeaking went about 2 weeks and back but very very minimal...

Its a 2006 with 19k on it, purchased with 12k this April- runs perfectly. I'm thinking: -Plugs (NGK (3521) CR9EIX Iridium) -Air filter (I believe it has a K&N but I'd like to go stock) -Brake fluid flush, replace caliper seals -SS brake hoses -Coolant flush -Buy the tool for TB sync and...

I took and passed the MSF BRC Sept 09' and have been practicing what they preach ever since. 35K miles with very few "close calls". Today on my way home from work, a 30mi route through WV mountain road. I had a "close call" with 4 deer. While riding I do SEE constantly! To the point that I...

Hi all, Anyone used aftermarket brake discs on their FZ6 ? Can you recommend any ? I need to replace front and back on mine.

Hi there, I'm new here and apologize if I ask a repetitive question. I had no squealing prior before changing the front tire. (The bike is my only commute vehicle that helps me save lot of time through Los Angeles 105W/E & 405S/N round trip 75miles/day,,,helps a lot of saving time. And I've...

Hi guys, I have a givi top case (v46) and I want to add LED strips for the brake and turn signals. I’ve already added 2 bottom LED strips for the brake light. Now, I want to add 3 addition LED strips on the top that will act as a brake light, but I also want them to flash when I turn...

I had a close call yesterday and I thought I'd share the story and what I learned from it. Yesterday afternoon I took a leisurely ride through the countryside after mounting my freshly balanced front tire. During the hour that I was out I practiced 3 panic stops, which I make it a point to do...

:eek: 2014 ARRC Suzuka: Zamri Baba high side crash during FP3 - YouTube

Please read carefully! I bought this bike as a new / left-over model with ZERO miles in January of 2008. In the summer of 2009, I installed the following: - 2007 GSX-R750 USD forks and radial brakes (forks rebuilt by Traxxion Dynamics in Canton, GA) - 2006 GSX-R1000 front fender -...

Im looking to replace my brake pads and in researching sintered vs organic, I found that sintered pads are not ideal for iron rotors, only stainless steel rotors. I've searched and can't find what material our stock rotors are made from, can anyone help?

I've had my 06 FZ6 for a year and a half now and have put a considerable amount of miles on it. It is my first bike and I bought it with 18k and now it probably has around 28k. The only maintenance I have done to it are: Regular Oil Changes Clutch Cable Lube Chain and Sprocket Replacement...

Just a quick question; Do the 04-06 models and the S2 models share the same rear brake disk? I'm asking because my 04 has a warped rear and I can pick up a paractially new 09 disk for next to nothing. If they'd match up I'm having it! :thumbup:

I was thinking about getting some shorty brake/clutch levers. I typically 2 finger most grabs and just like the aesthetics of some black levers on my raven 09 fz6. I found this site and it seems somewhat sketchy, but has excellent pricing. Seems like knockoff Pazzo or w/e they're called. What do...

Seems absurd to pay $100 for front, $80 for back for brake lines. Plus I can't really afford that - along with the laundry list of other things I want to do/buy (you know what I'm talkin about). Did I mention I love any thread that begins with the word cheap? I appreciate quality but I believe...

Hi, I can't seem to see anything through the sight on the front brake res, as it's completely misted over. Tried using a torch (flashlight to you Yanks), and a laser pointer to light it up, but no joy. I'm a bit reluctant to open it, as I previously shredded the screws on another bike -...
