Hi,

 

My father was asking me if it is possible to modify his wave 125 rear drum brake to rear disc brake.

 

Has anyone done that before? How much does it cost and how long it takes to complete the modification?

[tidy]

any bro's can gimme a price in SG and m'sia? cos wanna change but cant decide where. need to compare prices. any diff in braking btween flower n normal round ones?

[Secret]

Hmm...in my opinion, For cubs, better not to use oversized disc and too good brake pads coz lets say if u need to do emergency brake where u apply most pressure to front, ur wheels might lock, lose control of ur bike(Cubs front is very light unlike sportsbike) and resulting in self skidded(like me 2 mths back)...... If im not wrong, 220mm ok already....dun need till 300mm..... but if u intended for cosmetic purpose,use a louzy brakepads..... This is just my opinion.....any comments>?

[tidy]

no one knows e price ah?

[sk8ersaix]

because of the larger diameter of oversized disk brake rotors, you get more surface area. more surface area means the rotors cool faster which in turn makes for a powerful braking power. that is one of the reasons why they use big brakes in racing bikes and cars... these vehicles go faster that is why they need extra effort to stop.

 

but a light vehicle does not need big brakes. your brakes must be balanced to the weight of the vehicle or else, it's going to be hard to control when you're braking.

no one knows e price ah?

 

Not sure sg sell how much.. but i noe i jb ah boy coz rm130+, including bracket and installation.. itz racing boy oversize disc.. hope tis helps..

[Sean]

ya, agree with not going oversize brake. Even on my stock rotor, sometime when i e-brake the front end of the wheel will lock and go hopping on the ground. if it done on the wet i bet my front sure peng. sports bike is diff coz of the grip and the way it handle.

[couch_potatoe]

Hmm.... i just curious,, what happen if the insurance company found out that you have an oversize braking disc installed? If i was them, i will not let you claim a single cents when you involve in any accident. My 2 cents of advise.

[speedy1605198932]

due to our wave stock front brake really no effect, so... for a better braking effect how abt just change a aftermarket brake hose and wp brake pads will do.

[squarebox]

wp brake pads??

wp is wat brand? and where to get.

I change to hel brake hose already but i need stronger brakes.

battlax damn hard to use to it's limit.

Battlax and hel brake line = cant lock front.

Hi guys, ain't sure if this is the right subforum as I couldn't find the appropriate subforum.

 

Not sure if any Sparkz T135 users had such problems. This is what happens.

 

When I press my front brake lever and let go, master cylinder does not push back the lever immediately, instead it takes at least 3-4seconds before returning the lever to the original position.

 

So I tried pressing the lever and push the lever to the front with my hands and observer the master cylinder slowly push outwards.

 

Went to Unique Motorsport 3 times, 1st time was told change lever, works for that day only, 2nd time, change new master cylinder, much better but few days later same issue returned, 3rd time my own initiative change brake pads and bleed fluid. Sadly still doesn't work.

 

Anyone had similar experience that could give me some advice?

How old is ur bike?

Is your brake hose rubber or steel braided?

Rubber hose tend to expand more when aged.

Changing to steel braided should solve the problem instantly.

 

P.S buy at least a reputable brand. E.g Hel, Galfer, Velhill

hi squarebox, my bike currently 3rd year. Not sure about what my brake hose is but should be stock hose i guess. okay, will try out your options. thanks.

[thomd]

I would recommend a stainless steel brake hose & ebc brake pads. They should provide ample braking power.

hi i just bought a 2nd hand sparks... can teach me how to check what brand is my brake hose... sorry for being noob here.. hahahah
