Hehe bro with ur kind of riding style dat kinda fc is expected

 

not beeching abt the FC,

but i enjoyed every single moment on it..

however, when i do try to ride it gentle, i usually wont get more than 300km even if it`s on highway riding..

maybe i not gentle enough..

[Aurium]

Ohhh.. Actually if u see a few pages up I actually intended to order online too. So far including me got 3 orders. Yet to get down to ordering it thou. Shipping should be $55usd if it's not too heavy for 4 sets. Can be ordered from Malaysia and if u see my post earlier I have also break down the cost of ordering here, Malaysia and online. It's MUCH cheaper to order online.

 

just for your reference,

i changed my front pads to Brakings for 190.

Hehe dun worry worry bro, ur not beeching bout e fc, its normal when ur enjoying ur ride, e right wrist at times get out of control coz it does happens to me n i believe to others as well

 

All tis while im riding using e eco mode activated n managed to get around 350km with reserve n when top up, it read about 22.5L.. Im lucky dat e petrol dodnt go entirely empty b4 i reach e petrol stn or else it wud b quite an effort to push Akira lolz...

Out of curiosity, last week i tried for e 1st time to ride without activating e eco mode n i noticed s tremendous increased in my fc .. If b4 i cud get around 300km with e eco mode on, tis time i only get around 260km.. Same riding style n pattern but diff fc result...

Bro, care to share ,after using Braking pads, any diff from e oem in terms of braking performance/distance ? N also how's e wear of e brake rotor ?

I will stick to original. Reason simple original front last me almost 2.5 years changed it at about 25k mileage and rear hardly used. Also I don't travel as fast as you did.

 

Got feedback from overseas forum using a aftermarket will warp you disk. Just FYI.

The previous braking pads that I used 'eats' up badly on my brake disc. To the extend everybody ask me if it's cos i use to the metal already. Badly eaten brake disc and when I change the pads there is still compound left. Made me spent another $800 to change my front brake disc.. $190 for front = $95/side. It's still abut ex compare to ordering. If I remember my break down correctly.

bros, for those who believe aftermarket brake pads will 'eat' into your discs, i have bad news. my STOCK pads have eaten into my discs, and mind you it's not worn to the metal yet. i noticed he scars on my disc, went to have it looked at. changed to brenta pads $130 for all front pads. planning to change to EBC set (disc/pads) in a few months time.

Last time somebody here also got to change the disk too as the original pads makan the disks less than 6 months. He went over the agent to make noise. They changed for him unwillingly.

 

Mine got no problem.

so far i`ve tried OEM, Braking and EBC

 

i would say OEM is still the most lasting yet provide good braking power without eating the disc..

but it`s a beech to find..

 

tried EBC, the brake power is good, but it eats up my disc quite badly, and it wears quite fast as well..

when hard braking, i can actually hear the brakes grinding the discs.. so it was a 1 time affair for EBC..

 

been using Brakings ever after..

so far so good, the warping thing was true even b4 i use the aftermarket pads..

i read the other GTR fanatic forums and the ppl say after prolong usuage, the warped discs eventually will get straightened by the pads eating them up, so they eventually will be straight again.

 

so far for me, the other most radius of the disc still quite thick with the disc slightly eaten about 1mm from the outer most tip. the worn off parts are pretty minimal IMHO and the current set up still going strong..

 

just sharing my experiences..

of cuz, i still tink OEM pads are the best..

There's alot of reason y discs can warp.. Poor maintanence is one of it.. Clean e rotors n pads religously that will help.. When dirt starts to accumulate thats where e prob will start.. Proper braking habit also another factor.. Just my opinion though

Yes been doing that religiously eversince I started riding. Lots of people say you bond with your bikes by cleaning it..... Don't know how true is it?

Haha only u n i know it bro .. I believe that e "condition" of e bike reflects e character of e owner .. Some wud say that im to into my ride eg. After riding in e rain or under wet road conditions, once at home n e rain stops, i wud wash her immediately then i cover, even if its in e wee hr n after every ride, i wud wipe her 1st b4 covering her so that she dun feel cold in e night lolz.. Gave her TLC coz i dun feel good riding Akira when she's "dirty" n she wud somehow or rather "complain" by behaving weird lolz... I dun have to wax her often, just clean her will do but once a mth i'll pamper her with spa treatment n i cud spent at least 4-5 hrs pampering her lolz.. Frankly, i never feel its a burden but its bonding between both of us - U take care of me n i will take care of u - kind of thingy .. Some pple will say " where got time to do all that ".. I juz smile but in my heart (with my eyes looking at their bikes) saying "its so sad that a beauty like u being neglected" ..

FYI I would order my parts months ahead via online. I will first check with the bike shop do they have stock? If not I will order online. As everybody knows buying parts from the agent sucks big time, it's expensive, they are arrogant, stupid dog at the shop bark at you for nothing, you need to pay cash upfront, no nets or credit card facilities, their tiny parts book are miserably small(you need a magnifying glass). Well you can add on to the list.

 

I believe they are also reading the forum too. Cheers.

[WanFazer]

Hahaha being arrogant doesnt bring them anywhere.. In fact its good to b around with tis kind of pple, to learn from their ugly side so that we dun become one ... Side track a bit, those who think that they have good riding kakis (whom they so call "blood brothers forever" ) , i encouraged to go for long trip up north, during the trip u will know whether they r true "blood brothers forever" or not ...

" For he who sheds blood on the battlefield shall be called my brother !!"

Anyway, anyone tried using Vesrah brake pads?

[WanFazer]

Haha Agree !!! but b4 go "battle" e fellow brother muz give correct info, if not go to the wrong "battlefield" n got to wait other troop to arrive lolz.. Sounds familiar eh ? ..

 

Niwae nice ride u got there bro, look so 'mean' juz like e rider hehe..

Quote from the rock..... Had it on my previous rides, it's slippery when wet.
