jcbooghs Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Where is that smile on your face? Nice shots, especially first one. Mean lean angle!! I've been asking around where that brake-problem comes from. So far, no suitable answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gyles Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I've been asking around where that brake-problem comes from. So far, no suitable answer. Hi JC, I think the standard brembo pads are simply not upto the job and overheating causing the expansion and then the brake drag. We'll run Performance Friction pads at Cadwell in two weeks and see how we go there. We'll also run a heavier set of fork springs (kilo ones) so we can back off the pre-load and compression from max where they are at the minute. Here's a smile for you JC... I don't smile too much when my arms are ready to fall off after muscling the MGS around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Might be useful to Gyles or he might not be a numpty like me and have a pretty good idea what gear he is in, anyway I found out if you send the dash to your local friendly Digitec distributor he can upload the lastest version of the firmware to the dash to enable the gear indicator which is already in there. I haven't had any problems with the brakes dragging although I only ride at track days ie not in competion but have found the lever feel can be a bit incosistant at times no matter how fresh the fluid is/ system is bled up. This may be a pad issue too? Can't really comment of the fork springs but again I ride around and have fun. Have you worked out a good way to work out how much fuel is in it the black tanks suck nuts for this I now just fill it half way through the day.

Paul Minnaert Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 please read whats on the back of the original pads. I'd like to know if they put in the same as in the RSV. The pads I got with my ohlins radial brakes were :Brembo tt2172hh 07.7855.10 Combined with the PVM disks they are awsome, with the original brembo disks much softer. I now have performance friction carbon metalic because that was in stock. They work too on the PVM but I prefered the Brembos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Paul, Sorry this has taken me ages - I haven't been on the forum much of late. The brembo pads I have taken out are exactly the same as the ones you quote tt2172hh 07.7855.10. I agree the pads are very good, but we suffered very bad brake fade in france and cadwell. the performance friction ones to me felt just as good as the brembos but they almost eliminated the fade. these were 7537.05.08.94. JC - sorry mate, know you sent me a mail back some time ago - I will hunt it out and reply to you. Sorry for the delay !!! Cheers, Gyles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gyles Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've noticed, Gyles managed to win two races last WE. Yes mate, two wins a fourth and a..... erm, er.... crash. doh ! the fourth was because i was late for the start of the race and had to start from the back of the bloody grid. i crashed in race four (wet) due to a guy going down right in front of me... it was either crash myself (head off the track) or ride over him. a shame because i felt really good and the first lap felt very comfortable to me. ah well, that is racing i guess. here are a few pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
