HEL hose are alr good enough. change ur brake pads to EBC HH compound. change ur brake fluids fast. u dun wan to have an accident soon.

[patrick1131]

can i change my break fluid 1st then change hose the other day ???

or when i chnage hose that time they will change break fluid for me at the same time ?? thanks ya .. cos i this morning feel break response veri slow .. muz break hard then can feel the breaking ...

tat's a good idea... but i dun know how a hose look like aso lol ..think this time sure kena fire liao

btw can ask ur bike got Added Fuel catalyst x 01 pack

what does it do aH??

thanks ^_^

the catalyst supposed to make yr ride smoother and lower fuel consumption

 

my bike did become smoother on the 1st tank of petrol after i used the catalyst...but subsequently...like not too much of effect already

since u mention the level in the brakefluid reservoir is quite low

i suggest u check yr front brakepads

it could be wearing out already....

 

and when u change brakehose...all the brakefluid will flow out....so they should put in new brakefluid for u after fitting the new brakehose

like tat i think change hose and break fluid together bah ... later go vector 1 ...

sae the password"eddy send me here" hee ...

but hor .. dun fire me .. where is vector 1 aH??

[Guest TheSquid]

hmmm... after fitting new pads, brake fluid level will go up wor.

 

for me, i changed the brake pad/brake hose and did the bleeding together.

 

lesser hassle/possible labour fees.

 

yes, can just change the hose in front. no need to change both.

 

seldom use rear brakes for me. kakakaka

 

Hel or goodridge is good enuff i guess.

 

just make sure that its the right length and the banjo nuts are stainless steel.

 

cheers

fwah it seems like u emphasis a lot on braking also.

 

well, too many factors can affect brakin i guess.

 

tyres, brake discs, brake pads, brake hose, calipers, weight etc :giddy:

 

so i just change wat i can afford and make do with the rest lor. kakaka

So would you say that the pseudo effect has worn off or did the thing stop working?

Technically you can bath without removing your clothes but removing your clothes and bathing is a more convenient and less hassle option. It wouldn't take a genius to decipher what I'm bantering about.

Wow! The GURU speaks... :bow:

 

Which model should I change to? How much does it cost? Which series? Is it compatible to my stock cylinder or should I change that as well? If yes, what size should I change that to? Is there an option to change to radial type? Does Brembo come with a 6 piston type of caliper? Individual pads or not? Piston is made of what material? Body construction is? What fluids is it compatible with? What is the weight? What are the.....bla bla bla bla bla bla....

 

Hope you can help me. I'm just a noob.

Speaking about braking, just a couple of days ago, this car e-braked in front of me. I slammed on my front brake, mini stoppie and though to myself "Phew!! That was close!! Really Close!!" Afterall, I was only a few inches away from the car's bumper. A split second after thinking that, I heard a loud tire screeching noise from behind, REALLY LOUD... Definately not a car, it's a bloody container truck!! Luckily the car managed to move forward a few more critical inches, I full locked my handle and managed to squeeze away to safety. The truck managed to stop in time but if I were there, I would have been as flat as your morning breakfast bacon by now!! Phew!!!!

Unlikely the same. Why? At S$75 +/- (Not very sure the exact price), the bike shop's profit is $10 +/- (I saw somebody's cost price list "by accident"). Unless a miracle happens to Malaysia (Which has higher import taxes compared to Singapore), I don't see how it can be cheaper by so much?!
