Agree with Alex, be careful of some of the cheap Chinese levers.......ive had first hand experience of the brake lever not being machined correctly so not allowing the master cylinder plunger to fully expand......this leads to pressure build up over time and ends with the brakes locking on...

Ok thanks

Cheers Alex did you use the original hose and clip also or swap the hose with the one you got with the brembo reservoir?

Hi guys - anyone fitted a Brembo RCS to their bike and if so what did you do about the difference in brake reservoir hose size? I guess I have 2 options, change the reservoir and hose over to a 6mm option or use the existing (which is what I have done just to get fitted). It seems ok with...

I was under the impression that using a 200 tyre caused issues with the traction control if you don't get it recalibrated first?

Hi I'm selling a pair on eBay right now for ?30 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332107650941

Also heard good things so fingers crossed. Let me know if you book there's a few of us going.

Yup just booked 22/23/24 September at Portimao with Redline Trackdays. Anyone used Redline on here?

Yup as Alex said the problem with under yolk stands is the brake line T piece is blocking it so you can't use them unless you remove the ABS or mod it somehow. I just bought a gee tech front stand they are a nice bit of kit and better than the Harris ones in my opinion.

Yup same here ive fitted GB Racing and they fit perfectly and look decent enough........the R&G covers look a bit naff if you ask me (no offence) :-)

Must admit I've not heard good things about FE and transportation as they don't use bike stillages like NL and Pacedayz. That being said I've never done a Euro with them myself so no personal experience to go on.

Cartagena 4 days with NL and Portimao 3 days also with NL mate

Ive booked Cartagena 19th January and Portimao 26th May :-) Rob.

Thanks for the responses guys. On the Gen 2 its actually bolted right under the centre of the yolk so only option seems to be to relocate somehow but I think ill have to go with a fork stand for now and see how I get on with the ABS on track. Can then make a decision over keeping it or not and...

Thanks, I did actually call HEL and asked them about it as saw they did a 6 line kit but they didn't mention anything that could be used to relocate the union / t-piece........the guy seemed more confused as to why I wasn't just blanking off the ABS for track which I may well end up doing, just...

Hi guys - im new to S1000RR's and just converting a road bike ive bought for the track. Whilst stripping it down ive noticed the rather clever location of the front brake hose union bolted right under the head yolk so as you cant get a stand into it (nice work BMW) and searching on here I see...

Thanks I'll take a look at those as could do without forking out akrapovic full system prices 😕

Yup already started picking some people's brains on exhausts and getting helped out so looks to be a helpful bunch on here 😁

No just Trackdays......I've been doing them for around 5 years now started with a K3 600 gixer, then K7 750 which I'm now selling to make way for the S1000.....can't wait to get it on track 😬

Yup noticed that when I was reading through it but there did seem to be a general consensus around full length akrapovic being the safest option for track noise limits.
