After your last video I got a heart attack about my brake rotors. Luckily I’ve measured both of them 4.9mm at the front but... 4.1mm at the rear. I’ve also found excessive wear of the brake pads there, but I like to use rear brake in the last stage of soft and calm breaking before trafic lights. What brake pads would you recommend? Are those sintered pads really that better? But how faster do rotors wear out? 🤷🏻♂️
I've always gone with OEM pads for the FZ6 for simplicity sake. EBC makes good pads though. Brake pads are a complicated science, often you trade a gain in one area for a loss in another. You might get more bite with one pad but also more dust and wear at the same time. You don't get something for nothing. Rotors depend on your riding style but judging by my own experience I think rotors generally need changing around 50k km's. Good luck and I'm glad you caught the wear on your brakes when you did! 👍🏻
I’ve got the exact same bike on a 2008, these videos you have uploaded are really helpful. Thank you👌
Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Thank you! 👍🏻
Thanks your videos about FZ6 and the mechanic tips help a ton.
Glad the videos are helpful! 👍
Nice work! Now you just gotta clean up those headers! It makes a world of difference visually
I sure do gotta clean the headers! They’ve seen many wet and gross roads.
That was really useful thanks dude. 😎👍🏻
Glad it helped 👍
Thanks. Im waiting for your promised movie👍🏻
Oh it's coming, I'm thinking up what I have to say about the FZ6
Bro what size hex to remove the rotor?
