Ask a dumb question, after changing to racing footrest, the brake light won't light up as the sensor is removed. so wad can i do about it to put the sensor back so that when i depress my rear brake the brake light will light up?

[CarroTT]

There will be a thin metal line connecting between the sensor and the brake pedal .

Adjust the screws on the sensor .

[d0n]

i think u need to reposition the brakelight sensor and secure to the racing footrest using cable tie...

attach a spring to the tip of the sensor that is to be pulled

then hook and secure the other end of the spring to the footbrake lever also by cable tie

 

i guess u need to do a few adjustments to make the sensor work well

 

this setup was done by my regular mech

quite a good one

[lost_soul]

thanks for the replies. just got it done. but with the cable ties, it does look ugly. haha...

[flykite]

actually, have u all realise that with SUPER good brake pad / discs, u also need SUPER grippy tyres? otherwise they'll lock and u'll become superman...

 

think there's a reason why the brakes are manufactured to seem so ineffective... somemore wave is still considered light with pillion... not stable too.

 

the better method would be to keep a safe distance from the retard in front, so u'll never have to e-brake...

i read a thread from one of our brother here that no matter what you change, the brake pad, the rim, still got sound, so don't waste the money.

1 suggestion is to change the amount of space of the brake, meaning adjust how much you need to press the brake pedal. for my case, different spacing produces different loudness, but still have the sound.

the ultimate solution is to change it to disc brake! if anyone knows of any shop which does that, please post it here.

i ask liao. 1st, the sound is due to the dust, yes, after taking the air gun to spray away the dust, bingo, no more sound for the next two hours of braking. but it'll come back. 2nd, want to change to disc brake can, total cost about RM400+, must buy new rear rim, brake disc, brake hose, brake fluid holder and MUST put yoshimura footrest. 3rd, sometimes the brake is louder than my horn, i like it very much, cos it tells the whole world that i'm braking, in case some drivers are blind but can hear, and in case my batt no power to horn, i can still warn by braking.

[bike4me]

Mine also got the same prob but no worries still can brake

Thing is when you are in Serangoon, you dunno which car is just gonna dash into your lane. I really dunno how to avoid myself from all the cars when it's so jammed there.

 

I hit a car there before, but luckily it was at the side. I did not fall.

 

And when I want better braking, of course I do not want an immerse improvement like what you get from a Brembo Radial.....

 

My first post did mention "an improvement" not race mod.

just a comment only laaa relax man

 

anyway, share this personal experience, last time i riding other bikes, the brakes ate well, came to stop at a busy junction in less than a second, well avoided the retard who jam brake in front of me

 

guess wat, the retard behind me didn't have reflexes as good as mine, or simply wasn't paying attention, smashed right into my rear. WTF

[sLapshock]

i heard around $85 to $95 one line, front brake only. Freakign expensive, but performance is superb.

 

i actually dont know much lah, heard long about it, but feel like using it after a braking incidesnt few days back.

 

so if anyone want to go together, come we fix together.
