Initially, I was asking your experience on setting up conventional forks for track use. I asked because my current forks and shocks are not balanced or neutral. Specifically, my forks even with 20wt oil is softer than my rear shock, a modified stock emulsion shock.

Adding to that, I am not looking at spring rate to fix the stiffness, rather looking to improve damping on the forks.

Maybe the spring gotta do with it, I don't know. YSS fork kit, any experience?
Cartridge kit is a bit pricey, as I just want to achieve better damping performance for road use.

any 2022 KTM RC 390 owners here? contemplating to get one as a weekend bike/highway riding

problem cheapo lever if jatuh terus patah ori one more durable

2-300 only? i think thats the price per fork?

when i did my versys it was more total... but that oso had leak la.

forgot stock oil weight... i think 5w....cant remember though.

Z9SE Ohlins is rear only... front is same as stock iinm,

I recall the front is fully adjustable, plus it works with radial calipers

can you help me see what disk it comes with? I think it's a Brembo disk

Assuming the brake fluid is fine, the system has been bled and the pads are installed correctly, you may try wiping down your brake discs with brake cleaner to remove residual brakepad material from your old brakepads. If the calipers were regreased or if brake grease is applied to the back of the brakepads during installation, needless to say that care has to be taken to make sure no grease ends up on the brakepad material and on the brake discs.

Apart from that, there is no special 'break-in' method for new brakepads that I am aware of. You just use your brakes normally, being careful not to take risks as they may not grip as much until they bed in with the brake discs after like 50kms or so of use.

Mine are working fine and they bite well during commuting, except the organic material of the new Daytona Golds makes the lever feel spongier than before. But they don't make that hissing sound against the brake discs while pushing the bike around in the car park.

rotor elok tak? scammmer jay owai

what pads? got photo?

to break in, ride at moderate speed and press the brake while the bike keep going
do not let the bike stop with the brakes engaged hot
can use throttle like trail braking, but careful not to overheat the brakes else the disk will turn blue/black

the idea is to 'mate' the brake pads to the old disk

is it on your CBR? I was hoping you took a photo of the brakepads
never heard this brand before, so I googled a bit, seems they only make ceramic and semi-metallic brakepads, not real sintered brake pads

this one says "ceramic sintered"


if the brakepads look like this (without the grooves), I think will be quite difficult to use, no initial bite and very prone to fading

confirm the pads not suitable for you
get proper pads that matching the disk

are those R11? macam melted, maybe you all too power liao
or everyone else's tyre also kena like that?

I just posted my 800NK review at the 800NK thread for those interested for a read.

I thought sidewall is the same given the tyre size punya second number?

My impression:
Metzeler - round round one, kinda like U shape, difficult to get rid of chicken strips because the edges are at a ridiculous lean angle
Michelin/Battlax - flatter, modestly V-shaped, lesser chicken strips
Pirelli - the most V of them all, except older models like Rosso II

If you bought a used bike from a shop and they changed the engine oil for you, would you still change the oil if you didn't know what kind of oil/filter they put in?

Recently got a Ninja 400 and as part of the package the shop did an oil change while I was paying up, but I wasn't looking when they did the work so I don't actually know what oil did they use and whether they changed the filter. I did check that the oil is fresh and light in color still.

if using latest model 1-2 month max bro
where u send?
i send my bike to mok wangsa maju kawtim everything

passed my bfull JPJ on first test  . 7.2sec on titi, 5.65sec on emergency brake. hahaha
