brakes

FIRST AND FOREMOST I’m brutally honest, and I’m anal about my toys. These are take-offs of one of my personal machines (due to upgrade, not wrecked part-out). 100% functional and extremely clean. I’m on FZOA, 998CC, R1-FORUM, local PNW forums (GHETTO_D), & EBAY (GHETTO_CRUIZER). So, check my...

Hi Blew a front fork seal today , it's pouring out , question is , are they simple enough to do ? I did my Hayabusa ones some years ago ,are all USD forks much the same set up or am I better sending them off ? Also the front brakes started binding do I need a special tool to undo the caps to...

Alrighty, boys: I struggled with my gen2 all last season, trying to get the rear brake working properly after replacing the lines. It's been dragging, and has been way too soft. At this point, I have done basically everything to try to rectify the situation, and here's where I am at right...

So my brakes are not as strong as I want them to be... I put some new HH pads in which made a bit of a difference, but I still have some softness in the braking. I see the threads about the R1 calipers and M/C but I am not going to put on an R1 front end so that's out of the question. So...

hey guys i have a 01 fz1 and i just put on an 01 r1 master cylinder and braided fuel lines. this was my first time really working on brakes beside pads and rotors. when i went for the test ride i got about 2 miles before the brakes locked up completly. naturally in a really unsafe spot:)...

One of my big complaints about my Gen I is the mushy brake feel. Even after replacing the rubber/plastic stock brake lines and bleeding the thing till the cows come home, the lever feel is still a bit...mushy. The pads seem fine as well. I guess I'm spoiled by the Brembo radial monoblocks on my...
