Erm not refering to the length, but whether wave's breakhose able to fit onto the phantom's breakhose bolt (which has hole to facilitate flow of oil).

[AspMonK]

I thought is the same???? correct me if wrong

[Gresini]

check banjo bolts if its metric or cubic. or rather thick or fine screw threads.

[dreamtcs]

stock is already good enough for stopping stoppie

oversized can do rolling stoppie

Description : CAP LEAKING

 

********************************************************************

 

Bought a POSH brake res. cap last week & got it install. Just after 2 days, I found 'SAI TAO' crack near the brake res. area & rear screw area.

 

Wavers pls beware if u install the Posh cap. I believe it's the leakage of brake oil that caused the crack.

 

Got my original cap reinstalled but got to get a new 'Sai Tao'.

 

Any idea to where to get a cheap 'Sai Tao'???

[ZoRoM]

'Sai Tao' crack is ok wan... later stage others part of the fairing will also crack den hor it is cheaper for u to change the whole set(in JB) den u jus a a sai tao onli... if i.m not wrong LAB is sellin at $40...

Brake fuid won't crack your sai tao one. it's proberbly due to poor installation

LAB selling the saitao at $23 cash and carry.

i bought before.

[ahsiang]

brake fluid is very corrodsive. it actually 'eat up' the paint & weaken the plastic of the 'sai tao'. plus the vibrations, the 'sai tao' cracked.

 

the paint work on my 'sai tao' was peeled off at the side where the brake fluid leak out to.

Try to lossen more of the brake line, that means you have to step press a bigger gap to brake the bike. It work on my previous Wave-S. Changing pad and rim will not solve this problem. The sound is came from the brake hub, normal bike is having a screw to lock the brake hub but this wave desing none.

 

Please try and update us. Thank you.

[xr2004]

try tking out the brake pad & sand paper the top layer...will help.
