gt250 front brake help

[WarlockNZ]

hmm seems like putting in braided lines would take a bit of effort :S spose as long as its worth it... whats the best tyres i noticed the std ones dont grip so well in the wet

I put braiding lines on my gtr and it's well worth the effort! .. trust me ... if you need a hand i'm more than happy to help out, it only takes an hour or so., as for tyres, get rid of the shitko's ASAP! ...

I got rid of mine after 2000K, the Pilot Actives I have now are great and still going strong after 26,000 K

Sounds like taking the time to bed your brakes properly would do you just as good.
Take your pads out, rough them up.
Put them back and get as much heat into them as you can untill you smell them.
Start off wuith 30 -0 then 40 - 0 60 -10 70 - 10etc untill you are doing as aggressive as you dare near stop from 80 kmph.

If you can't smell them keep trying until you can still smell them at 50kmph.

My brake pads squeeked at first. But now I ride over the Rimitakas as often as I can and that really beds them in.
As for the tires, theres not a fucken thing wrong with them. I scrape the pegs(not on the left handside though, kickstand scrapes instead) quite regularly and they haven't given me any grief while doing so. I'm not saying they are the best you can buy, buts theres not need to replace them.

Also, where did you buy your brake lines from Warlock? I noticed that they are twin lines.

I've been meaning to see if HEL have anything that will fit, seeing as they have a listed distributor just round the corber from my house.

Yes, that'll be a problem with the CDI unit. I'm surprised it's still a problem with the 2008's though.

I think the problem first appeared with the 2006's, and I heard they had fixed it with the 2007's but mine still has the problem.

Talk to your dealer about it. They should replace your CDI unit under warranty.

I heard it wasn't a defect, but rather a deliberate dip in the engine/fuel management as euro 3 emmissions testing is conducted at 5,500rpm.
I took mine in to Mt Eden Motorcycles and they just snipped a wire off the CDI (I'm not sure which one..other than it might be brown??)

Fixed the issue tho...sweet

Yeah mate, the tyres aren't as bad as some say eh, maybe not so hot in the wet but I think some workmen may be blaming the tools again Grandad!

I have the HEL lines on the front, better feel. Shorter pull is the tradeoff and disagrees with my stumpy fingers trying to get the lever in enough but there's always trade-offs eh.

personally i get sick of break pads
ive had trouble with them
i would recommend vesrah pads and the softest you can get for the rear
i would recommend sintered for the front
i would then ride the bike as normal
mine were like yours are now
rear squawk
front were ok
and i definately say its the pads
i ride my next bike same as the one previous but pads are all good
as fo rthe bedding them in i think personaly it makes them worse

[Pancakes]

Yeah I'm sick of break [sic] pads too, just slowing me down.

Homer, there are the bits of cardboard that come in Hyo's and one type of replacement, semi-scintered ones so the options are rather limited.

I got in on a group buy from the states.
