NVM solve liao. Anyway, which BIKE shop pro on S4 repair?

[Fazli]

Many shops do maintenance and repair work for CB400. I would recommend Combine Motors as I myself go there for my major repairs and maintenance. Very happy with their work.

hey guys, just to check, flower disc and normal disc plate, are there any differences? and i heard if send for inspection, the flower plate will not be approved?

[outspoken]

should be...original is always the best...heard the flower type is thinner and braking not "power" but not sure maybe those senior here can answer...flower disc can get around $200 for front x2 while orignal is at $580 for both...heard the original supposedly to be brembo..also not sure...so better stick to original if u ask me..

How about those galfer ones (not the imitation flower type)? Hv u guys tried before? And the $price for OEM n Galfer r almost the same. My rear disc is getting thinner. Need to change it soon. Fazli? Outspoken? Ah pek? Guys? Your opinion n recommendation are greatly appreciated...

Wen i press my front brake caliper, it shld spring back wen i let go. But wen i press my front brake caliper, it stays dere.

Need to do bleeding & change of brake fluid? Which shop to go to & hw much do it cost?

One bike shop quoted me $70.

 

Try change your pump kit. Its a spring located inside yr brake pump.

I changed mine for 40+ plus rebleed. Hope it helps bro.

should be able to...mine no use to sent for press cos very jialat..only make my disc thinner so not safe then for wat rite...maybe u can ask ah pek for any place of recommendation...but since if u got cash power then might as well get a brand new disc at $580..since its OEM then i guess it is good since all of the S4 is using it...got mine 2nd hand..swap with another S4..cost me $200...

Sorry bro..i can't help out as never use it before...maybe those guys who had used it can help u....regarding the pros and cons...but if u ask me then my opinion is to use the original one..feel more safer knowing its work well...dun play around with these safety issue..

[outspoken]

Guys,thinking for changing my brake hose to either Star,Hel or Venhill...any recommendation regarding the pros and cons?..

I already service my calipers infront but still no different, my front discbrake no dent... What possibilities can it be? Many thnks...

when you had used a Braking rotor before.. you will ditch the OEM ones..

normally you dun feel it when you upgrade, but when you start dekitting and change back OEM..

you will know how scary the OEM are..

I had used all the 3 brands you mentioned.. all works the same..

 

So far Star is the best deal.. it customised to my length and banjo nut i want..

and it's the cheapest.. furthermore it offers life time warranty..

 

Hel lines will fade in colour if used for a long period of time, but effect of the steel braided hose is still there..

Venhill is much more expensive when compared to the other 2..

So very true! I recently swop back my oem from Galfer due to dekitting.. Damn dangerous ESP during rainy days. How I wish I never take it out. No more smooth braking and brakes like not there.

When is the last time u change your front wheel bearing? If it was many years ago then i think its time to change it.. Safety comes first bro

[angkong]

you can try more premium brake pads! of course they will cost more.

[angkong]
