The GSXR 600,750 & 1000 Hangout. Where All GSXR Riders Chill And Gather!!

[pehu]

Have anyone of you tested difference of Michelin Pilot Power CT2 and Bridgestone BT003. Which one fits better for "agressive" road drive, not much track really. Are those any good at rainy weather?

[MC28]

I would put BT003 as a better tyre than 2CT..Currently running on those now..If you wan something that's gd on the wets, go for DC3..

 

It does gives me better confidence on the wets than the 2CT..

A reply to dumgum's post...

What is OEM, semi-float, full floating...

2 ways of classification, I also dont know why...

 

 

1 method of classification:

OEM rotors are considered full floating. Rotors and hub are of a different piece. They can be made of same or different material, eg alu hub or stainless hub. Rotors will definately be stainless. Both rotors and hub are binded together with floating pins and springs. Rotors are floating on the hub, therefore considered as full floating disk. This allows rotors to expan when heated. Simple said, any disk with floating pins are considered floating disk.

 

Semi floating. I'm sure many will ask, what is semi floating disk. It's actually the same as a solid disk. But having oval mounting holes instead or round ones. This allow expansion when heated.

 

 

Another method of classification:

All the disk discuss above are classified as semi floating disk. The true floating disk are those used for racing. Those without springs in the floating pins, for weight saving purpose. Those disk are super noisy and has alot of free play. The purpose of the springs used in OEM rotors are for noise reduction.

 

 

 

So how you guys want to classify them? I dont know. Personally, I will just classify any disk with floating pins as full floating disk. Cos it really floats what. Anyway, if you guys take a look at the new CB1100. Unlike the rest of the CB models which comes in floating disk, this model comes in semi floating disk. But the mounting bolts comes together with springs. If you can imagine, the disk actually floats within the tension of the springs. This is a new technology from Honda. So how do you classify this disk? You all decide.

 

ARRRR..HHH....WAH...ok ok...long story but gt points...upsszzz...lol...

 

OEM rotors dont have floating pins....kekeke...classify as but not even close.

 

not all rotors can or should is say any how change pins..

 

semi float and full float FRONT rotors (AFTER MARKET TYPES) will not lock in hard braking..not say it wont happen but..very unlikely to.

But this depends on your condition of PADS N FLUIDS .

 

but as for the rest..:thumb: for kickstart

[dumgum]

[dumgum]

Who using :

 

Ebc pads :

Ebc extreme :

Braking pads :

Carbone lorriane :

Versah :

Oem :

 

WITH OEM/STOCK ROTORS OR AFTERMARKET TYPE.

Lets see what we can learn from this. Upzzz

[dumgum]

btw, any change caliper to cbr 1000 08 or r1 04-06 or r6 06 -08

 

if yes..how is the feel from our oem caliper?

Here's the picture for the relocation of the rectifier.Basically it's mounted under the damper protective plastic using the 2 screw mount on it, need to fabricate brackets and change to using longer screws. Nth needs to be done to the wiring as there's allowance for it and turning the handles both direction.

 

Pardon for the smokey pic, probably due to the sun reflection.

 

 

However if you find it hard to DIY, can always approach Ah Hwee from imotor. He will do with a small amount of labour.

 

is the bracket mounted to the lower triple clamp or the black plastic on the front?

[MC28]

[fufu]

By selling away problem bikes, I wonder why the buyer of your bike never come back to demand money back from you?

 

it can only mean 1 thing... ITS the RIDER

[dinoshah]

Hi Fellow R1 riders,

 

Maybe wrong place to advertise. Tried to post at Garage sale but nobody interested leh....maybe try my luck here. Anybody interested getting my SS Arrow full system. Can be fitted on R1 2004 - 2006.

Btw, lo-on, fufu, Max...when u guyz plan to go to Kulai nasi lemak again? Keep me posted, k?

[JoJo]

hi mates!

how haf u guys been?

 

hai, so hard to find a bike that is gd condition, low mileage, accident free.

m i asking too much? lol

wahh bro i never tot of that kind of place...this is gd stuff....thanks man...

[4th_Espada]

 

I tot all the pumps out there got the button to switch to KPA??

 

ya la but i nvr convert it so usually i just follow the psi easier to remember for the lazy mind...

[4th_Espada]

most commonly used in sg are DOT 3 DOT 4....BUT I DOUBT any1 take into consideration of moisture depending upon the relative humidity. most bikers dont understand air can contain varying amounts of moisture depending upon the relative humidity. Due to this factor..braking can be reduce as much as hmm..lets say 15-20%.

 

boiling point for DOT IS ABT 280F DOT 4 ABT 300F

 

I'M USING A DOT 5.1 ...LOL....contains are different boiling point higher but have to flush more often but thats ok..cos i full service my own every 3 wks...lol....gonna try castrol SRF SOON...Abit Expensive but from what i heard bloody good stuff. SOME OF THE MOTOGP BIKE ARE USING CASTORL SRF...SO I GUESS CANT GO WRONG WITH IT...BEAR IN MIND...EXPENSIVE STUFF...KEKEKEKE...and think wont last 6 mths...kekekeke

 

DONT BE MISTAKE BY DOT 5...DOT 5 AND DOT 5.1 NOT THE SAME.

 

IMHO..look at DOT 5.1 FLUIDS...during flushing also dnt have to worrie so much abt the fluid on your fairing or tank...hehehe:angel: that does not mean just leave it on your tank...hahaha

 

how many of you ask the mec..when he top up your brake..what he using..or do you even know when dot fluid you using.

dot3 dot4 dot5.1 fluid SHOULD NEVER MIX. WELL....its the lack of basic knowledge .... and all abt my fens said this...the mech tell me this ...lol

in the end its your bike and your responsibility to know what your using and why. MY 1 CENT WORTH...hahahaha

 

honestly to many bikers cheapo on the important stuff and only think abt OUT LOOK....

 

 

nice info read bro..learned sth here.....thanks
