Hey guys I can't seem to find the thread which talked about switching out the rear seat on our bike with one of an R1 or an R6. Was curious if it is possible to do? If anyone has experience with this please let me know would really appreciate it!

So if the piston seal acts as a return spring, should i take out the piston itself and give it a clean? i didnt want to do that because i didnt want to damage anything with the piston itself and didnt know if i could take out the piston without damaging it? Since you bring it up maybe my piston...

Is Sil-Glyde alright to put on? I wouldnt say its grease based but more of a gel.

not at all its perfect slack.

By clips what are you referencing to? Are the metal attachments that attach to the outside of the brake pad itself? And yes the caliper piston extends and compresses with no problem. And as far as how my riding has been so far it seems my brake pads are wearing in with no problem. Ive been...

And as far as the alignment slot I went to go check and its in there.

Pics. Here are a couple pictures.

No worries I have the manual myself I'll take a gander at it. And as far as the smell of burning there was a smelling sensation of that sort. And the disc had a slight purple/red discoloration to it as well.

Okay this I wasn't aware of, can you let me know how to adjust that so i can release some of the pressure? Would appreciate that a lot man. Actually just rode it around and did some subsequent rear braking at 30mph.

Hmm yeah I read about that but I figured it'd be not good for my brakes since they squeak and i can't freely roll my tire backwards when it's on a rear stand. Let alone back it up into my garage without actually giving some effort. But I'll give it a try. And so everyone knows the alignment on...

Yes I cleaned the brake pads with brake cleaner and the piston was able to retract inside with no issue. And as for the brake fluid I used dot 4. I took apart the brake again and it's the same issue. There is no problem with the clearance as well, I don't see anything wrong or excessive that...

Yes I compressed the piston down before putting in the new pads.

Hey guys so I installed new brake pads and bled my brakes but I can feel my rear brakes braking without me braking myself. Also they squeak now and my bike is hard to push back because it's braking. I'm just wondering where I went wrong? Someone told me it might be a return spring in the...

Had SAME exact problem last week. Hey man I know exactly what you're talking about with the filter wrench slipping when you think taking off the OEM filter. I was having the same issue and what j ended up doing was using a giant pair of pliers and almost crushing the filter until I could get a...

Gold baby gold. What do you guys think of her with this color scheme. I love it!
