Nice one Alex, I have just upgraded mine as well it really makes a difference, my rear break was nearly non existent. Also do a front suspension upgrade and rear socks upgrade. I put YSS on both front and rear and again what a difference. Ride safe man!

Thanks for the comment! The new pads are just so much better than the stock ones! I’m considering a suspension upgrade as well! Next upgrade/video will be the Venhill Featherlight clutch cable.

[@andreastomblin2137]

@@iamalexsun I look forward to seeing it Alex! Also for the suspension upgrade consider YSS they are really good quality at a good price. Ride Safe!

Nice video, we don't get that metal plates in rear pads here in india or they might be giving them in lastest manufactured ones. Btw didn't you need to do ABS error clean with diagnosis tool? Generally Twin650 shoots up ABS error when we push pistons by hands so you need to clear that error

[@iamalexsun]

No errors came up for me!
