Re Front Disc Pads/Rotors, my old gen Saga nvr had 2skim rotors...
Juz changed pads nia...
lines/shallow grooves got but no sounds...

Wat me do is remove brake pads at regular intervals & sand them flat b4 putting back...
Works 4that ride...
Dunno abt present Gaga tho...
So far so good....

Juz 2share...
DIY servicing under own porch...

24 mths/ 20k+ Km schedule items...hv done 1 by 1...when in mood...haha!

Hv oledi done :
1. OCI ie EO & filter change
2. Air Filter change
3. Radiator Coolant change

And juz now...Power Steering Fluid change


Items 2b done...when in the mood...haha...
1. Auto Gear Fluid change
2. Brake Fluid change

Power steering you use what oil? do you do full flush?

No la, Bro...nvr did 4all my rides & power steering no probs till me sold them off!!
Lucky mayb...

What me usually do is that a follow-up change is done a few k Km later....
This first change replaces all the old fluid in the reservoir...
Nxt change wld result in most of the old fluid having been replaced...
Good enuf, me feel...
Works so far...

And almost 4got...
Fluid used is ATF Devron II...as rec in User Manual...
Me used Shell one..

you shouldn't do that, as it re creates uneven braking surfaces in which you originally eliminated with your brake pads/rotor running in for the first 1-2k km.

that is only "acceptable" if you have noise/braking jutters however you don't want to skim the rotors and your pads are not due to replace yet.

it works for you most likely because you don't even brake that hard to begin with and it was never an issue on extreme thermal expansion/distribution.

consulted my spare part man he said can use Detron III / same as ATF III used in auto Gear box..
anyone using?

Hi Bro...

Many tks 4good advice on how NOT 2rectify brake pad probs...
And yup, true...true...
Me drive really like ole unker & so also only need 2brake like ole unker!!

Moreover me not hv confidence in braking power capability of Ole gen Saga & present day Gaga FL...
Only got ABS...Aku Brake Sendiri models...

Me alwaz try 2follow rec specs in User Manual of car...

Since me had a new unused bottle of same ATF fluid used for my ole ride, felt why not...?

In yr case feel shld b no prob...
Cos a higher grade fluid is normally backward compatible IINM...

Hi agin, Bro...

Was wondering if yu can share yr informative & experienced views on how one can improve the braking system of our Gagas w/o ABS/EBD, etc?

Wld the following be of any help? And in what order of action if done in stages (due to budget probs?)?

Changing to :
1. Dbl Diaphragm Brake Servo
2. Larger Master Brake Cylinder
3. Stainless Steel Reinforced Brake pipes eg Pro RS...
4. Better/Larger Disc Rotors
5. Better Disc Calipers

TQVM in adv.

Oh I see. That DashCommand (best among its kind in App Store I believe) will cost a bomb to get. $50
Unless I jail break my Ipon which I am not too keen of doing.

Hi Bros...

Yup, me use Torque...and lots more Apps for Androids, free or paid ones...even cracked ones!

iPhones hv their Pros but after using for 3yrs liao, hv found Cons outweigh the Pros...

Juz 1 opinion nia...

Juz 2add, Bro ruby1288 agree fully that 2JB an iPhone (or 4that matter, rooting an Android) is nvr wothwhile in long run usage...

The beam on the top is my headlamp, which is the same color as the stock foggies. The lower beam is the tinted foggies.

NOTE: the actual output is even yellow-er (my headlamps are yellowish, not white like the photo), the phone autocorrected the colour.
