brake

Hey guys just wanted yo ask if anyone knew what the diameter of the stock brake master cylinder is? I have R1 calipers off an 02 and thinking about putting nissin remote res on just want to work out stock diameter I know R1 is 14mm.

I decided I wanted to do this mod. This is a mod that will light the brake lights when you are in NEUTRAL, only if the KICKSTAND is UP. I first discovered rear brake modulators, and realized that would be a good safety addition. Those send various flashing patterns to the rear brakes when...

I'm becoming more aware of this issue as I often sit at a stoplight in neutral, hands and feet off brakes = no brake lights = increase risk of getting run over. So.... I've been looking at the signal dynamics back off brake modules, the ones that have programmed flash/repeat patterns...

Wondering if anyone has bought a brake or clutch setup from Xincity.ca off of ebay. This setup looks pretty nice but possibly to good to be true. Here's the link and a pic. http://www.ebay.com/itm/220943869985?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_6147wt_980 Was hoping to get...

Hi guys I am replacing my reserviour caps and noticed my Brake and Clutch fluid is a little low.Can I use dot 3 brake fluid or do I need something special?.I had to ruin one of my hold down screws and they are 2.00 for one at Bike bandit .com.Where can I get bike parts cheaper than that?.

Mine needed adjusting. I had to depress the rear brake too far, before the plunger switch would activate. In other words, under light rear braking, my rear light may not have been activating. Here is the image. The adjustment nut tightens clockwise. Just a safety heads up!!!

Anyone have any input as to options to get rid of or relocate the speedo cable when going to the Tokico calipers? I have a stock speedo currently and without going to something digital/electronic I am not if I have any option to clean that up a bit. Thanks!

I had my frame hanging from the ceiling the other day sitting on the front wheel while i was cutting the frame and modifying it for the chain drive and it tipped over and busted my brake lever. Just wondering if you guys have any suggestions on good looking aftermarket pieces that are fairly...

I'm thinking I'll need to install some new pads this Spring. What can I expect to pay for a full set, and where's a good place to get them? How crappy are these ebay pads for 27 bucks shipped? Thanks!

I'm about to upgrade to braided brake lines. It will be cheaper to run a two line instead of three to the front calipers. Do I just run two identical fittings to the master cylinder? Crush washer between them? Will a need a different banjo bolt?

I was draining my front brake reservoir and found this thin piece of metal that fit across the reservoir lengthwise(see pix). What is it's purpose?

I think someone mentioned that he uses ZX14 master cylinders (Brake & Clutch) on his Vmax. I understand the ZX14 masters are manufactured by Nissin. Need a bit more info. 1. Will the OEM '98 Vmax brake/clutch lines fit the masters by just plug and playing ? 2. Will all ZX14 years fit (7/8"...

Have a 1998 Vmax and live in the tropics. A. Is there anything that I can install or apply to the fork tubes to protect them against dirt or rust or both? I know there are some weird wrap-around protectors but they do not look good (my taste). Options are: 1. I am tempted to...

We may extend this for Dec as well. Buy a front and rear brake lines and get 1/2 off the clutch line! This applies to all brands of bikes as well variations to the lines (colors or lengths). Savings of approx $25-$30. If it's a line color I have on hand I will even include the shipping! Line...

:2gunsfiring_v1:I almost forgot. All three of my rotors are cracked! you can't feel it, but as far as I can see it's only the outside surface. I could be wrong on that, as I haven't made a really detailed inspection. I have no idea how long they have been this way. Any idea's or suggestions on...

Hello all you maxers. I have a question about types of brake pads. My current rear pad "squeal" when applied. They are not worn just noisy. So my question is, can anything be done? should I just replace them? what are the best pads? I have seen cabon kevlar to sintered metal. Whats the best for...

Looking for some OEM front rotors in good condition. '93 +

Looking for the adapter to fit a right front R-1 caliper on the rear of my '90 .

Hi guys I'm the new guy on the block, I have a 1992 Vmax with some up grade front calipers. I took my bike up to the dealer to have the bike inspected for 2 year tags. The service guy said I needed new front brakes but the look good to me, any way the guy did not no what brakes to install/fit...

Put new pads on the front. Thought job was complete until I picked up the old pads. They had a thin stainless steel plate snapped onto each pad. Well I am guessing I should have put them on the new pads. For those that know of such things, should I redo and put the ss plate on the new pads...
