dunno ar..
wat brand much good for brake fluid?
btw.. izzit brembo set for rear brake disk good?

Just get DOT5 lah...
Brembo got fake one, better look for NISSIN.


Saran, (don't mind me calling you this name)
Good not good depend brake pad... does RB caliper come with brake pad? Maybe ori RB brake pad got ripped off by the shop eh? Just open the nut of the caliper, and check the pads see what brand... jgn2 cap Ayam. :LOL

nissin how much the cost?
nvr see that brand at my place..
juz seen rb n brembo only..

Guys i think better not to use the RB rear disc brake system. First of all that brake not really that makan... This is from a few of my fren that using it let me know. Second of all that brake got a few complain from fren, say they brake jammed and also i see a few bike that using rb brake stuck at foreman shop coz of jammed..... This what my foreman suggest me for rear brake system, get a original Nissin caliper and master pump ( Price 150USD ++ ) or can get a second hand pump and caliper from 125Z than take the front disk from ur LC135 and move to the rear brake. So u need to change your front brake to a bigger disk, Probably need to refabricated the rear flange ( Not Sure Yet ). And you can use either RB Rim that can support rear Disc brake or other brand. Hopefully this will be usefull to u guys

wow....samba...bout the bike...i will take from my friend but not now...he balik asrama already...your friend can wait ma?

I'm not encouraging, or discouraging RB-RDB system.

My honest opinion lah...
1. Compared to drum brake, it is trickier to setup.
2. If setup properly, it works well, but faster overheat than drum brakes and will loose performance. With that, I do not encourage to hard brake on RDB. Mainly use RDB for slowing down. In fact, there are riders who don't use rear brakes at all, only gearing to slow down. In comparison, hard braking on the front doesn't generate this kind of problem.
4. Wet performance is bad. You should have a drum brake for backup.
5. Disc brake system tends to lock if not cared properly, and skidding in the rain is no fun...

Like TryX said, can also try used FXR or KIPS system or even front calipers with minor modification lah. Just make sure the bleeder is positioned correctly, not pointing down.

For RB-RDB, if want, can try DIY to setup the brake fluid and check brake pads...

Nissin - can try look around for Honda Wave front caliper... I dunno the price.
If got budget, suggest upgrade front disc better.

Cool idea can remix the brake caliper and the master pump from different type of bike Btw i think TZM brake caliper and master pump should be good enough for me. Where u park ur TZM arr Alexei? I think i wanna pay ur bike a visit this midnight.

alexei your point is better dun use RDB eh?

His point is don't use it to aggressive I guess... Am i right Alexei?? if im wrong please correct me.... pai seh pai seh just kepo kepo only

stay stock.
everything will b just fine.

Ermm for me i think if dont want modified better dont touch anything all remain stock.. If really want modified make sure u modified it to the best. So must be clever clever remix the aftermarkets parts laa Stock = Boring... But Modified = Headache.... You can choosed either one and pay for the price laa

im thnking to get RDB , but still not sure is it good or not...

btw also afraid if install RDB will make my bike more heavy eh?

cause after my rims been stolen i take RB 8spoke rim then my speed can go 155 like that not

like stock rims can reach 170... hmm.. now thinking back wat should i do.. aih..

its k.. u carry on calling tat name.. but i thnk firstly the brake pump makes a lot difference in RDB.. then caliper not so much la.. tats y j wana confirm b4 making my move..

Added on September 4, 2009, 12:40 amthis remix kinda thig is good but firstly u need to get the things tat are 'legal' n at the right price... then next is hassle.. cz the bracket n the rim/hub must look around again... lots of hassle man.. but of course it'l b a good RDB system...

Yar Saran that is life... Everything start from a sketch... from the day we born we learn to crawl after that we start to walk after walk we start to run

Thx 4 da add..

using TZM system is as hot as 125Z... got people selling mah, dont aim my bike leh...

Added on September 4, 2009, 9:03 amhave to admit, RDB got style... it's different than drumbrake la.
don't use it too hard, higher maintenance...

Added on September 4, 2009, 9:04 amnot much of weight difference i think. But RB8 is wide, use with fat tyre will definitely lower the top speed a bit.

haha, there is no 'best' settings. most of the settings have its own problem, even stock. Nothing is perfect.

So, we need to understand the problem, and use our skill to compensate it.

once we start to modify, prepare for unexpected bad results.


and shit... my front brake pad is fading, now braking is worse than stock, lol. Its good for rainy days thou, hahaha

Mix here and there defies the purpose of spending money to make the bike looks nice and shiny.
I think the critical part is the rubber seal, and the metal quality for reliability.
Brake pump and caliper need to match or not, I'm not sure.

Agree with hassle, but if no hassle, then all mods would look the same... Samba wouldn't wanna sell his LC for project bike liao.
