What do you mean? You even copy and pasted a link/pic from SBS re DS-1. And it was Scooby that brought back the topic of brakes re me not following advise here. So it is my right to reply back and defend myself. Yes different slightly, but RST is the direct successor of RS. Also, CarpiMoto...

Sorry not to have followed your advise, almighty scooby

You don?t get me. I?m saying it can be used even if with zero warmup as it does not need any THERMAL bedding-in (as pointed out by CarpiMoto, an authorized dealer; but yes, they don?t sell/market it as for road use, but for Race Use Only). The ?For Race Use Only? is a legal requirement, which in...

You brought up my previous posts re brakes. So I have to respond to that. And then you said I?m spouting garbage. Now you say I?m changing topics. Here is the article I based it on, Ultimatemotorcycling.com: https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2016/01/05/sbs-brake-pad-test/

It being a bad idea is your opinion. It is actually a GOOD idea because a reputable online seller (CarpiMoto) EXPLICITLY/EXPRESSLY and CLEARLY says on its product pages for ALL SBS DS-1 and DS-2 pads that they DO NOT need any THERMAL bedding-in. Seems to me to be consistent with the RST being...

Not garbage. You research more before you call out anybody because it will just go back at you a 100x more. There is an article (motorcycle.com IIRC) saying that SBS itself admitted that the RST is SBS? race pads ?For Race Use Only? way back in the 1990s, under a different monicker (not as RST...

Any actual experience on upgrading the front calipers on the BMW R1250GSA 2020? Stylema looks plug and play due to location and angle of banjo bolt hole. Did the Stylema mess up anything? Like the ABS system? Any other being messed up? Hehe Cheers

Re brakes, yes you could use the DS-1 on the road, even highways, and it doesn?t even need thermal bedding-in. That?s actual experience in a very hot climate. Racing pads like the SBS RST are racing pads way back in the 1990s, and as such are indicated as not for highway use. Now it?s road and...

And if you read my posts, I already know what you guys are saying. I?m looking for actual experience or study if the adaptor can be used on the calipers. Or expert opinion from a fluid mechanics biker, I?m hoping

Ban me then for not following your advise hehe I?m looking for actual experiences that will justify what I plan

Saw in Pro-Bolt website that a Brembo or Nissin caliper replacement recall may have resulted to shorter bolts: https://www.probolt-usa.com/stainless-steel-front-brake-mounting-bolt-kit-race-spec-ssfbmon510r/ Anyone can confirm this? Can?t see anything re this. BMW discretely changed the bolts...

That?s the ideal plan. Actually have a custom line already. But if these adaptors are mint, would save PITA opening up the tank. Also, contemplating to use the adaptors on another bike (GSA)

Yeah that?s the worry. How about using the adaptor?

Looks like this can be done instead of changing brake lines. Any thoughts? Cheers

Or is it really better to just bend the existing banjo?

Greetings to all. Is this ok to be used on the caliper to sort of lengthen or reposition the existing banjo on the brake line? I know it is designed for master cylinders, and a caliper can surely accept it. But won?t it affect the brake function? I?m thinking there will be another 90 degree...

Anyone? M6x1.0mmx14mm?

I use a circlip plier to separate the pistons back and forth. But what I wanted to do (which I thought is more correct) is to keep all 4 pistons back during the whole bleeding process. This piston spreader allegedly from BMW is perfect as it will fit on the OEM calipers for 2008-2018 models...

Good to know those, thanks. Just worried the pad drag might be too much than normal due to doing something wrong. Cheers

Hello. Anyone recommend what/where to buy a piston separator for the stock/OEM Brembo calipers? Bought the only one piston separator I could find (on Earth), but they don?t fit on the 2 small openings of the stock/OEM calipers. Saw a video in YouTube of the caliper piston separator used by BMW...
