brake

Yesterday afternoon as I was lanesplitting through gridlock on my way home I suddenly thought about what might happen if I was to accidentally catch a car door mirror or other protrusion with my front brake lever. Is there anywhere that one can get the lever protectors that the MotoGP and SBK...

Hey guys, Below are some of the parts in very good condition for sale. There are minor scratches on some of them (shown in photos). Prices in the post are a guess (half the price of brand new part). Please don't hesitate to offer any price you have in mind. These are pick up price from...

I use my FZ6 for moto gymkhana but the rear brake is causing me a real headache. It gets used a lot and gets very hot so I have fitted dot5 fluid, braided hose, EBC HH pads and a heat sink to the top of the caliper to soak some of the heat away. After only a couple of minutes the brake starts...

I have one brake pad and I need to change my front brake pads. Is it dumb to only change one? Also, I need to buy a new battery soon. Any suggestions on brand or type? I want it to last as long as possible so if I have to spend some extra money, that would be okay.

I bought this 07 fz6 the other day, it needed it few updates and mods. I was excited to jump in and start working on her. The only problem I have now is where I mount my left mirror. The clutch lever was pre threaded for the mirror but the brake was not. There is no room to bar mount as the...

I was wondering, for the fZ6, does the rear wheel have to be removed, or loosened in order to swap out the rear brake pads?

Anyone purchase and use those chinese brake modulaters or pazzo style adjustable levers from ebay? They are cheap i know but wondering if they are good enough for average riding? Thanks!

I just got an '07 last week and the very biggest difference between it and my previous motorcycle ('92 Nighthawk 750) is that the front brake is MUCH more powerful. I could grab all the front brake all I wanted with the Nighthawk and as long as there was no loose material on the pavement, it was...

Things like this drive me nuts... it's like an aviation documentary showing a 737 take off and a 747 land. Does nobody making TV or movies check continuity anymore? In the final episode of Sons of Anarchy Jax Teller is riding his dad's old Harley. First it has a front brake lever, then it...

hi everyone. I love my fz6 fazer and want to upgrade brakes even further (I changed brake lines to braided racing type HEL ones). info: I'm using oem brake pads which has 1/2 thickness and assembled to bike from factory at 2005 :D Now I found a picture from internet (at attachments). Is this...

I want to upgrade to LEDs but I can't find this info anywhere. I've looked through the materials I have as well as googling but I can't find it. What size bulbs are the turn signals in an 08? The brake light is an 1157 so I'd imagine the signals might be 1156 but I don't know

Recently, I had my tires changed. During the tire change, I learned that my front brake pads were worn and required changing. So, I ordered the EBC Sintered Double-H Brake Pads. Anyway, I found with the OEM pads that I had to squeeze really hard for them to really grip, and I was hoping that...

Hi there, I was through all and finally mine doesn't squeak and tire rotation pretty good like 2.5 rev WITHOUT changing seal.. I hope my story helps any fellow rider gets into front brake squeaking and no slack on the brake pad that maybe maybe is required some seal replacement... My story, I...

Many of you have inquired about what has and not been replaced after logging 100k miles so I have created a list along with the reasons, except for the obvious such as the fluids, chain, bulbs, etc. Still original OEM from zero miles. 1. Front brake pads and rotors 2. Hoses 3. Oil and fuel...

I bought the bike new in April of 2007. Got much tougher to log the miles once I moved to Idaho, so damn cold and there is always a lot of snow and ice during the winter. Some amazing facts about the bike, I am still on my original front brake pads and rotors, and original clutch. Original...

What do you think of these: BikeMaster Organic Brake Pads - BikeBandit.com Or, is it worth to pay more for these (and why) EBC Sintered Double-H Brake Pads - BikeBandit.com

The lack of concentration is unforgivable in wet conditions. It was my 28th lap (we were only 4 riders so it was "open track", no limited round), The fatigue began to be felt, my finger started to freez (4°C this rainy sunday), just missed my braking mark, forcing me to brake harder. My front...
