New disc....New Pads?

[speedpro]

Oooooh - I forgot the biggie.

I also need to check/replace/adjust the valve shims and cam chain sometime in the next 6 months.

Although with 20 valves it may be something the shop might have more luck at then me.

Anyone done valves on a FZR? Is it any trickier than a 16-valve bike?

Or just more work?

Ooohh I love 2-stroke engines

Ah yes, but for every valve adjust I do you have two engine rebuilds.

Where are the POST POLICE when you need them?!

Every time I think there's a new answer to my question, It's just YOU LOT.

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT BRAKES!!

Mutter mutter mutter Remember to breathe angry face.

Not you Speedpro! Anyone is allowed to say nice things about 2/'s in any post.

To bed in pads you need to get them hot enough to set the resins,but not enough to melt them which causes glazing - about 10 medium pressure stops with at least half a km between,but never stop completly or when you do never with pressure on the pad.

I'm not a heavy braker,but I want them to work now! ,so I prefer to fit soft pads - these have excelent low speed braking but will fade at high speed...I don't do the high speed bit.For off road use fit a soft pad - but they wear out faster with the dirt and crap.

Not from what I've been reading on this very site. Of course even if I did have to do an engine rebuild it would cost less than servicing a 4-stroke.

Those KR1s are nice bikes, I had great fun getting in amongst them at Wanneroo (Perth) on my CB360. Older readers will have great difficulty believing that.
