    Front Brakes Rubbing

    I had some new TK80's installed at my local non dealer shop. These guys have been very reliable mechanics on my bikes over the years. I noticed that my front brakes were having a slight rubbing on the rotors after the tire install and took it back this morning. They remounted the front wheel yet...

    Pulsing brakes fixed for good

    Like a few other members on this forum, I've had issue with pulsing brakes. Coming to a stop smoothly was difficult due to an on/off sensation under constant light braking. Under firm braking, there was little to no pulsation. My rotors looked fine with no obvious run-out, and the issue...

    Rear brakes rotor catalogue number

    Hi folks. Does anyone knows the catalogue part number for the rear brake rotor? Mine is due for replacement but when looking at the maintnance PDF document I realized that the item is missing from the part list. We can see the rotor on the drawing but no number has been assigned for it. Bummer.

    Bleeding the rear brakes 2013 Strada

    Did a quick search and found info on the fronts but not the rear brake. Is this a reasonable diy with a vacuum pump or should I take it in for service. I have no pedal at all on the rear.

    Antilock brakes good or bad??

    Personally I really like the ante locks on the front of the bike but not so much on the rear. Wish I could turn the rear off and just leave the front on wouldn't that be a neat feature what do you guys think.??

    Flushing the front brakes

    I'm going to flush the fluid on my front brakes - I'll be putting on speed bleeders to help with this. I have a couple of questions: The manual calls for removing the calipers and forcing the pads apart to seat the pistons. It's unclear but I guess you bolt them back on after this process...

    Rear Brakes

    I have a 2013 hyper base. 3200 miles on the clock and my rear Brakes are wiped. Mostly 80% city driving. I was thinking that is a little soon. I do ride a little aggressive, but I'm mostly using the front brake. Anyone else wipe their brakes that quick? I'm thinking of getting OEM pads unless...

    Front brakes seized on my Hyperstrada!

    Just suited up and hopped on the bike to go for a ride. First, I noticed as I was pushing it to the spot I fire it up at, it felt heavier than usual. But I just assumed I got weaker. LOL! Then as I took my first slow-speed turn, it was pulling heavily in the direction of the turn. I knew that...
