On the way to work this morning felt like the brakes where stuck on stopped cut the bike out started again and it was fine? Pretty sure it's not the brakes

Hi! I've recently purchased a Tuono 1100 Factory '15, with 4500 km on it. The bike is great, except for the front brake, which has an annoying pulsing/vibrating problem: * It comes and goes a bit. One time it's much of a problem and another time much smoother. * It's worse on partial...

Hopefully someone on here can help as i'm getting annoyed with this new problem. The bulb at the top/center of the headlight comes on when I use the brakes. Thought it was to do with an l.e.d. unit I had put on there, but it does it with the original rear light unit too. If i disconnect the rear...

Hi guys i have my rsv mille r on a 01 plate, and im not happy with rear brake, it doesn't seem right when braking, and after bleeding it still remains the same, pedal travels but will not go hard, i get braking but not what i need.. Any advise??

Hi Guys, A few months ago i purchased a ZXR750 as a project bike, the bike came with a front end from an RSV Factory, which is now surplus to requirements. So up for sale is the following: 2009 Ohlins RSV front forks - few marks here and there but no cracks in the lowers (common problem caused...

Has anyone tried these valves? http://www.stahlbus.com/products/en/bleeding-system/index.php

Hi all, Got a rarity here, from a very low mileage 05 RSVR. Pair of Showa forks with radial calipers, hoses and radial master cylinder. Perfect upgrade for any Showa fitted RSV, RSVR or Tuono, slide straight into your existing yokes to give the braking ooomph of the radials. Wheels are sold so...

Hi, this may sound like a stupid question, but can anyone tell me what the difference between radial brakes and non radial brakes are, and how do you spot the difference between the two?? I have a 2005 RSV-R with the black coloured fork legs, would these have radial or no radial brakes...

Hi My RSV started to loose power and found the front brakes were locked on, so i removed the pads and calipers and found the disc was rubbing against the caliper.cleaned up the calipers and checked everything was ok then re fitted both caliper to find the disc is sat right against the caliper...

Ive not had my mille long but when i use my rear brake at traffic lights it locks up like normal but when riding i get nothing will this be solved by bleeding the break? Nick

:eek: I went out for the first pootle about of the year today, on my RSV1000r Factory. I fitted the fancy looking ASV/ Pazzo copy levers in the winter and they seemed great, after some minor tweaks. I had ridden about 10 miles today when all of a sudden (at about 50 MPH and not whilst...

A Mate of mine who owns a 2006 RSV has asked Me if i think he should upgrade his Front Brake Calipers to Brembo Items? Now he is a fast road rider but doesnt take his bike on track. So, is it worth the Money to buy Brembos, & are they a straight swap? or should he stick with the OE Calipers &...

Hey all, last month I was doing a trackday at Snetterton, I'd done 2 x 20min sessions then had an hour and a half lunch break then went out again, towards the end of the session, after hard braking into a slower corner, the next corner the level came aloong way back, as the bike had never done...

Hi guys, I'm looking at a very nice '04 Tuono R. It has Red Brembos and I am interested to know if they might be a special unit or the gold painted red. It also has a non adjustable steering damper, is this a stock unit. Thanks Dudley

What do people think of these? Anyone upgraded to the top end ones?

Alright fellas Need some help bleedin my new lines...can't get any fluid down the lines at all. I've checked everything is tight and all washers are in place. When i try to bleed i can see air moving a drop of fluid in the bleed pipe but i've been bleeding for over 30 mins and cant get a drop...

How is braking assessed for mot is it combined front and back or separate as my back brake really does nothing !!

Hi folks, Right, my front brake is a wee bit spongy and the lever has more travel than it did before I put the bike off the road back in September. Comes quite far back to the bar and can sometimes trap my fingers. So after doing a bit of searching both on here and AF1 I'm going to reverse...

Hi all,I have bought another RSVR after a brief affair with a 08 R1(I know,I know!)I picjked the bike up last night and I have a few questions. Mine is the 2005 UK model in red and black(non factory) same colour as this...
