Gen 4 gearing and stahlbus ?

[TheGodfather]

What gearing if any you guys using on track? Thinking of going -1f and +1r.

Also want to fit the stahlibus calliper bleed nipples to standard front callipers, confused on which thread and length to get.
I've ordered an L74 rear wheel change system so will check on the hell calliper.

So I can just get direct from dealer ?

16/43 is less gear changes, less effort, less wheelie. Puts the wheel further back so you may want a taller rear tyre or ride height change to regain tip in.

Im after a bit more punch out of corners. So -1f but wasn't sure to leave it at that or change rear as well.

Found a site called motorworks. Have them at a good price will ring tomorrow.

4 week wait on the L74 kit, cant wait to get it on.

The l74 is brilliant makes it so easy to get the wheel out

16/46 also works and gives a bit more acceleration, but overall 16/43 is much better for the reasons outlined above.

Re: Gen 4 Track Gearing

I've found a Stahlbus supplier in the UK but the BMW parts list are miss leading.
the cailliper one shows different to the brake line one.

Brake line one

Looking at the bike I'm 99% sure I'm after the brake line option. Not purchased yet but the supplier is quoting for the calliper one though I don't think he's aware of the conflict.

Cheers. Is there any chain alterations to be made, rather keep it standard length.

 

[alex]

No.

I might be talking utter crap and definatley confused. But maybe its not Stahlbus I'm after at all. What I was looking for were the brake lines that unclip from the bleed nipples so you can detach the calipers if you wanted but don't know what I'm looking for.


Got it, but getting more complicated

Lol you mean staubli quick release lines. Dear a ****

I had hel ones on my gixer but they don't make them any more . staubli are 350 ish per side just for the connectors then the lines etc on top

Brakes

If your after bleed valves to help with bleeding the brakes then you want the product linked in post #3. If your after dry-break quick release connectors then you want something like the item below. They just allow you to disconnect the calipers from the brake lines without bleeding the system.

Been on Hel and Venhill sites. Both listed, but your right still works out bl@@dy expensive. On top of that the labour as I wouldn't entertain fitting them myself.

Going to get the Stalhbus ones from Motorworks. Front and back delivered for ?90
After all I'll achieve what I wanted is to bleed the system easily myself.

 

[bricrewe]

Hel said they didn't make them any more when I rang. I've had a few different bleed kits and this is the best thing by far and makes it so easy to bleed.

Well the Stahlbus are non return and should be as simple as crack half turn and pump away.

Interesting stipulation on the HEL's
"Not to be used with Castrol SRF brake fluid."
