brake

I installed new front turnsignals that do not have running lights. I am wondering if this is causing my led brake light to stay on constant? I see in my wiring diagram that the front turnsignal wiring runs to the brake light. could this be the problem? How would i fix this? Thanks for any help.

Every time I think I have everything fixed something else pops up. All of a sudden both my front brake lines are leaking above the banjo bolts. Are there any cheaper options than replacing them with the expensive stock ones? This is on my '93 Vmax. After I get this problem and my oil leak...

It's time to change my brake pads on my 2005, after the pads get warm it sounds like a garbage truck stopping with a loud whoooo:biglaugh: From what I have read it sounds like EBC pads are a great choice for the Vmax. Who has the best price for the front and rear pads?

I was wondering if it would be better to use some oil or WD type spray on the clutch and brake cables. Any suggestions?

I have a set of Galfer front braided brake lines that some one ordered & never paid for there $ 80 bucks plus shipping. email [email protected] or call 813-270-0000 Thanks,Kyle

Ok, so I have a 93 Vmax that has had the front end converted to USD. As best I can tell it has an MEK triple clamp set with FZR1000 forks, calipers, and rotors. The rotors are EBC Pro Lite MD2003. The bike was converted when I bought it and in my excitement I completely forgot to ask about...

anyone buy the cheap ebay brake pad sets? 30-40 $$ for fronts and rears are they any good? I might try a set and see.

Just wondering if anyone had had issues with front brake switch. I think I have a short in wire between switch and rear break. It started last year thought wire was loose or something because rear break light kept shorting out. So the only way I thought was to wiggle end of wire thats connected...

If this information is already hear, I am having a diffucult time finding it; Can someone recommend a step-by-step brake pad installation for the front and rear including brake fluid replacement? Either a video or picture illustration with detailed instructions would be helpful If I need to...

Just got the rebuild kit in the mail today........Thanks Sean!..........Is this a straight foreward job? any tips/tricks I need to know? I'm a fairly competant mechanic, just have never done one of these before...............Thanks...........Tom.

Lately I've noticed when I use the front brake on my 97 it has been catchy when applying, it releases fine and seems to work good otherwise but I don't like the feel, comming from an automotive background I have always just replaced it when it was in question, are these easily rebuilt and if so...

Another quick question guys. When I push on my handle bars and compress the forks by holding the front brakes I hear a faint thud or clunk. Is in normal to hear that sound. Don't think it is the forks or the steering bearings. Pretty sure the faint sound is coming from the front brakes. I...

Quick question how hard is it to replace a front brake switch for my rear brake light. Was just thinking of what it may cost to replace and fix myself.

I've found my rear brake switch is not returning to the off positon after the brakes are released. If I jiggle it, they blink off temporarily but get stuck after the next application. Is this a repairable part, or should I just order a new switch? Was thinking of spraying contact cleaner or...

Need to buy a new front brake light switch. Called the dealer. $134!! Any suggestions???

I have the parts to go to a '93+ front end on my '92, & intend to install a set of FZR1000 4 piston calipers I have lying around. I already bought a new '92 master cylinder, but have not yet installed anything. I bought the new '92 master cyl before I read as many of the FJR master cyl posts as...

I know there was just a thread on this, but I can't find it for the world. There was a discussion about what to do to prevent/stop disc pad squealing. Someone said they use generic stick-on shims and included a link, some said copper grease where the piston contacts the pad. Can someone...

Ok......I need to replace my clutch master cylinder and am wondering what are the best replacement/upgrade master cylinders for my MAX. I need to be able to reuse the lines I have so they need to be "plug and play". Any suggestions....PLEASE HELP. Also I'm sick and tired of the sloppy clutch...

Hi guys, I'm out wrenching on my 94 and have a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with..... last year I replaced my stock tail light assembly with a led unit but I cant remember where I got it from, much smaller light that tucks under the fender nice with a plate holder that comes out at an...

I bought a full set of brake and clutch lines from All Bike Brakes. I sent them the e-mail below because the kit looks so incredibly amateurish. The pics are included, and his response. "Thomas, This kit is wrong. I have flipped up the hoses at the calipers as you said, and taken new...
