    I have a 2015 ZX6r that I rebuilt the rear master cylinder because I wasn’t getting a hard pedal after flushing new fluid through the line. I am still not getting a hard pedal after the rebuild and I’ve bled the line multiple times I’m not sure what to do. I’ve reverse bled, vacuum bled and...

    Does anyone know what size the stock master cylinder is? I suspect 14mm but I can not find any information to back that up.

    Hi guys So ive recently got a used 2012 zx6r with 12k kmh on the clock, the dealership said they serviced it but the front brake fluid seems to be low and rear brake fluid seems to be enough capacity but is complete black, is this normal? I attached photos

    So, before some of you flame me for not searching, I've been around this site for a while and I have done my searching - I'm so stupid as to post a question without having searched for the answers first. I have a relatively specific question regarding my specific situation and which of a couple...

    Hi, just trying to fit some adjustable rearsets to my '07 zx6r. The brake cylinder on the new rearset is mounted a couple of inches farther forward than stock, and the brake hose from the caliper now won't reach. Does anyone know I could get one to fit off another model of bike? Not bothered...

    I ride a 2007 zx6r i got a few months ago. i noticed that my rear brake pads were rubbing the other day so i lifted the bike up and took a look at it and they were indeed rubbing the brake disc as if they were slightly engaged. I proceeded to remove the caliper and took the pads out noticing...

    Hi all, After having my zx6r for 10 months I decided it was time for some more intense checking and tinkering. My rear brake pads need changing in addition to the disc as this is under tolerance. also upon checking run out of my front discs, I found one is particularly bad so needs changing...

    Hey guys, I recently changed my rear brake pedal (still OEM) and when I went to attach the brake switch using the OEM spring, it doesn't seem to reach the peg on the brake pedal that its used to attach to. Am I missing something really stupid or am I supposed to connect the spring to something...

    I taken my bike to shops to get them bleed and it works then I keep it still for about a week and it gets soft again. To the point where I push it all in and it bearly brakes. The shop told me to rebuild them or replace the hole system from the lever back to the master cylinder. They are trying...

    Hey guys, first post here and looking for some help. Found a good deal on some levers but they are asking for size. I looked in my manual and couldn't find it, even tried finding a thread on here, but no luck. The website list sizes, e.g. BRAKE A32-2004C/AL-502 and several other ones for...

    Hey everyone, I'm ricing up the bike a little, I just threw a Spiegler Stainless brake line kit on my bike and thought I'd throw up some pics. They are super easy to replace and they feel way better than stock brakes. Not to mention you can custom order these things in many different colors...

    Okay so yesterday I noticed that there looked like there was brake fluid on my left brake caliper. The fluid isn't coming from the hoses, and i bled the brakes & tightened up the bolts as well. I rode the bike for about half an hour last night, and this morning I noticed the fluid was there...

    Okay, I changed my back tire last night. When I put everything back on, I notice that my rear brake pads are in contact with the disc. In fact so tight that I cant even get the bike to move backwards in neutral. The bike will drive forward with a little throttle. I asked my buddy, and he told...

    Hey dudes and dudettes! I was curious as to who runs what brake pads and why? My front stock brake pads have been squealing a bit and it's time for new pads shortly but I am unsure of the route I would like to take. Any input is greatly appreciated. :cool3:

    Just installed a fender eliminator kit. Blinkers work. Tail light and license plate light work only when the key is turned all the way to the right in park. They don't work when the bike is running and neither does the brake light. The brake light doesn't work no matter what position the...

    NOTE : I wanted to place this in the 'Guides' section but I do not have the option to create a new thread. Perhaps one of the mods would be kind enough to move it for me. "If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing right!" I put this tutorial together to show the right way to upgrade the...
