is the brembo 16x18 worth it
Re: is the brembo 16x18 worth it
Well, I've got a friend that's getting me dealer cost on the brembo, and then I will be getting another 300 this week plus my tips from work.. I can't wait OMR gets a hold of an F4i to make some sub cages. I really don't want to buy a powers.

, can i have the dealer cost hook-up Re: is the brembo 16x18 worth it
just put my 16x18 on this weekend, bled the crap out of it, seems there's no air in there, but it takes about 4 good pumps before it really engages.
what's the deal, do you think i need to bleed it yet again? i guess i'm too new to know how it's supposed to feel. all i know is that i don't have a solid rear brake at the moment through hand or foot... but the handbrake is way weaker than the foot.. ???

your finger over the hole will let the air and fluid out but not let the air back in and doing it this way will also not let any air bubbles float back up hill like with the old pump pump open method
trust me this way works
Re: is the brembo 16x18 worth it
yea ........dont let the brake fluid sit for more then a couple minutes or it can lift paint

Whats wrong with the OG clear hose on the bleeder nipple? You can see the bubbles come out, wont let air back in, and it doesnt make a mess, thats only way that makes sense to me

of all the race bikes i work on and done brakes on, i moved back to the OG way.....i even have a pressure bleeder, not the junk handpump (actually hooks up to an air compressor). OG way seems to bleed better for me. never had a problem with a spongy brake with my methods.

I used to have a GSXR radial master paired with a full throttle rear master. I currently run a 16x18 with dual calipers and would never dream of going back to my old setup. It is 10 times easier to bleed a dual caliper setup and when paired with the Brembo master I have great feel and control of the rear brake. I have ridden others bikes with different setups and mine is by far the best setup I have been on. Expensive yes, but effective.
