Lemme just slip some fiat rotors on that shopping list since you're already at it...

3 out of the 4 are ok. RF has worn faster and there’s also pedal pulsation (warped rotor). I suspect that the RF has a stuck caliper slide.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 10:56 amCould it be even the brakes are just as reliable as a girlfriend thats only after your money?
Ordered pads and rotors for fronts.

moment today.
Doing brake flush + pads + front rotors on the FiST. Forgot to release the pressure on the Motive and while doing pads on the RF. Turns my back to grab a socket out of the toolbox and turned back around to the sound of fluid spilling all over the floor. I had pushed the piston out of the caliper. Yuuge mess and wasted a fair amount of RBF600.
Fortunately was able to reassemble the caliper while still attached to the car. Re-bled and all appears to be ok...

Also replaced my non-straight rotor on the XR along with track focused pads and a brake flush. No prolapse this time

New less bent handlebars went on the Honda today. Only issue is that they’re slightly narrow so the hand guards don’t fit anymore. I’ll figure it out later.

Side note: I’d be surprised if that bike made it home without falling over in the bed of the truck. Non-ratcheting, pull-tight straps + rain.
