R1 front brakes & Viper race can...

After Champs teethpullers, I want to improve the fronts on the R1, I
cant help feel the pads are shit, the discs are nearly new & original as
i have the receipt.

I'll change the fluid as a start & get some new pads, any recs?

I fit the Viper race can tonight & it sounds great without horrible
boominess, as it's a carb bike, would it benefit from a bit of tweaking?

Took it for a proper wringing out tonight & for an 11 year old bike, it
really does feel great now... Felt very sweet on the throttle, which you
just dont get with most FI bikes i find, especially at low speed &
throttle positions.

N.

 

The same as Champ (& I) have?

Without a doubt. Stick a BMC or similar filter in first though.

 

What are they then ?

I just fit a new original air filter, but i'll look one up...

 

Bleed the breaks and fit new hoses if they are still the original
ones. Not sure on pad recommendations.

As Krusty says put a better filter in and then book a session on a
DYNO.

Boxerboy

 

It has HEL baraided hoses & I think you may be right.

 

Bendix.

 

Cheers, any annotations or just R1 Bendix pads ?

 

As it's you, ask for the cunting cumsponge frogjizz compound. Or if you
don't want them to hang up, MF (front) & MR (rear). Don't go for the
race compounds unless it's a trackday toy.

 

Sorry, never seen it before, but now you mention it...

Cheerie!

 

Yer learning

Ta

 

Brembo radial master cylinder. Nobody who's fitted one has bitched
about their brakes and you can always change it back to the OEM one
when you sell the bike next month.

 

I got them nice & warm before i really pulled on 'em & they nearly had
me teeth out & whilst nose marks maybe normal on your visor, they're not
on mine

Why would anyone buy a litrebike of any description & not ride it like a
****?

Nige

 

True. MF/Rs are fine for us sedate old fogeys though.

 

I'll look one up, those pads are quite reasonable money too, £25 per
caliper for the MRR, cheers peeps.

 

I'm mad me.

 

Can I get one for the 600? The brakes on that are simply shite for the main...

Head to your nearest Dynojet centre and have it set up on a rolling road.

You'll be posting tomorrow complaining about the price.

 

Being in the market, so to speak, for a dyno run and sort out I had a
look there: the solitary webpage for the locallest franchise is a
little concerning:

Recognise anybody there?

 

<grin>

Ah - In that case I wont bother!
