See how that goes,if its no good I'll just get one from Bataycan

Yeah...was thinking I would do the same...where do you get the perf pipe?

My brake prob stems from the disc diameter I think...as you can see from the photo it only uses half of the disc....so very innaffective in stopping.

Sorry folks - I maybe didn't put that too well.

Mine has 2 pistons as well - but the thing is they need to be both sides of the disk rotor. On mine the pistons are both on one side and the other side is just a passive brake pad. Applying active force to both sides of the rotor is what gets you increased brake power.

I saw your photo Cibbs - and mine are about the same. Your rotor looks a bit roughed up on the photo though - and that might be a partial problem.

I must say mine tend to work pretty well. I replaced the Chinese brake fluid with Ferrodo dot 4 - and this has made quite a difference.

You also have to watch you don't have any oil, grease or other fluids impregnated into your brake pads - and also no air in the brakeline.

I'd check out a few more of the basics Cibbs - before I spent hard earned cash!

Yeah...your right Rod...I could just be a bit fussy oo...my street bike has twin 4pot disks and sintered pads and stops on a 5c piece...so I might just put it on the latter dude list.

Thanks mate.....

I've had a few folks e-mail me to ask if I could recommend a good book on motorcycle mechanics.

This one is pretty good and covers how a motocycle and it's components work, maintenance procedures (with good photos, diagrams & step by step instructions), and trouble shooting maps.

The book also has some component upgrade projects you can do at home - and has a great section on what you will need to set up a good home workshop.

The book is called "The Essential Guide to Motorcycle Maintenance" and it is by Mark Zimmerman.

If you source it from an Australian bookshop it'll cost around $60 - but you can get it for almost half that price from Amazon.

Amazon book link is as follows:

Thanks Rod.....

Its a great book alright. Used it as a ref many a time.

Wildman thanks for that shot of the screen. Will try some of the custom exhaust places round here and see if I can pick up some prefab stuff.
