[Group] SBF DUCATI Monster

[Troll]

May I propose to change the meet up to 8pm instead of 9pm??

 

Great, 8pm meeting time will be excellent. By 9.30pm, launch to the new tunnel..By 10.30pm still can grap a coffee at changi v...

 

I rode to the tunnel this morning..wow.. a lot of turning and beware no speeding, saw a few uncle sam in the tunnel and guess what, a toyota car skidded and knocked onto the side wall..Recovery team was trying to tow the damaged car out from the tunnel ASAP...

I need to upgrade my brakes.. master brake pump I mean...!!! Brembo rcs 19 is very good but too much of a blink.. HDB parking not very safe... Anyone got any lobang for cheaper Brembo ones..? not the coffin type of coz.. I know Raymond has a set and wanted to sell me an M.V Agusta F4 Nissin brake and clutch master pump $500++ incl installation... worth it..? or Brembo ones still bertter..?

Nissin for 500 a set good deal. Spend a bit more on rizoma reservoir around 100 odd to replace plastic reservoir. Now go to sleep.

randy,go for cheaper upgrades first!

easier on your wallet.

EBC sintered brake pads!

give it a go,im sure you'll be able to do stoppies by then.

if not enuf then braided lines

[technicolorhighway]

to bad we cant go top whack on the f1 circuit.

nice feeling though

[danielburgess]

Dude, think of your finances carefully before spending recklessly!

[easy2findme]

Personally i think there is something wrong with the hardware after "testing" it. I am no expert but if he has bled the lines and checked the pads and rotor, it has something wrong in the pump maybe? It feels spongy and feels like the seals have given way, letting air in slowly. So no matter how much you bleed the lines still will have spongy feeling.

 

If Nissin is good enough for MV, i think good enough for you, Randy.

 

Just my 2 c worth.

to randy,

ya i agree with Easytofindme..........

my two cents worth is..........

- if current brakes now not biting, maybe a simple servicing will suffice, no need go straight to extreme of upgrading complete.........

- if this current brake brand is also on others bikes , with no problems, its just maybe it long overdue for servicing

- as easy2findme has pointed, becos of the seal being "old", it could be micro dirt and water has seeped into reservior over the years, compromising the effectiveness

- just do a full bleeding of the complete system, change out the "old" oil, poot in new oil.

- inspect the brake pads, maybe due for change. change to next best after market pads.

- if these two dun work, den change to braided lines........

as earlier said, my two cents worth........

cheers

There may be nothing wrong with your brakes.

if its the pump, your brakes will bite, not as well but no spongy lever feel.

 

It sounds like it was not bled properly.

a new bike/brakes can have that same spongy lever feel if the bleeding job was not up to std.

 

whoever who did the job, take it back to them.

if your seals and lines have been tested and do not leak, your levers should not feel like sponge bob.

Yup everything have to wait till end month then do my wiring and Brakes all at once better for both the Mec and me..

whahaahah........dont u love mournday afternoons in the office?

[dt99]

I need to replace my rear indicator lights - falling apart. Was thinking of changing to LEDs but not sure if its worthwhile. I find the current ones a bit slow to blink once you turn the signal. Can anyone suggest a place to find nice ones? Thanks!

[conjurer]

Randy screw the brakes, go for high corner entry speeds and lean that monster over. 1st corner, 150 ave entry speed. U're prob 160 down the straight, 10kmph decceleration, dont think u need that much bite. Turn two, 170 kmph. u'll be 180 down the straight, dont think you ned that much bite. U're good to go for the rest of the corners!

 

P.S Ignore me. (:
