Tech-talk: Brake pads

[@smaul7594]

I haven't visit 66speedbike but recently I bought a used '13 Kawasaki Z800. Just before I sign the agreement, I asked Mr Ahmad 'Cleaner' Khan by messaging him personally on what should I look for when Im viewing the bike. I really did not expect he to respond to my questions at all. He did responded to my questions and advised me on what to checked. So the day for me to view the bike has come and after I've done checking, I found out the brake pads on both front and rear already hit the marking. (Which I won't know if I didn't watch this video and memorize on how to check the brake pads marking, thanks to Mr Sibot for making this series)I asked with the bike shop/dealership to replace em to a new one. They said no as they already sold me the cheapest price for the '13 Z800. I asked the dealership, do you really want your buyer to bring home a 800cc bike without ABS and also without brake pads? They went silence. After they discussed with their manager, the manager called me and decided to change the brake pads and also willing to throw engine oil + oil filter FOR FREE! Thanks a lot Mr Cleaner. You saved my money A LOT which would have costed me around RM 3xx- 4xx (+-100 usd. It's really a lot in Malaysia tho)There is no way if I ask the same questions to other mechanics and they will put an effort on replying me with a damn long voice note on what should I do before sign the agreement for the bike. ( I get it, hes pretty much busy and unable to text me that's totally fine)As for me, I would highly suggest you guys to visit their garage and get a proper tune by the pros.Checkout 66speedbike on facebook for more info. (Literally not an ads)

Great video man! Thank you for making this kind of videos, I'm a zx6r owner and some knowledge on maintenance is always useful.

[@thesighbored]

[@afiqghost8034]

Often use engine braking but yeah still need to check it tho , I don't know how you read commenter mind or just a regular question about brake pad , thanks

[@thesighbored]

We have a list of stuff to talk about.. So probably it was one in the list. :)

[@bicyclenerd.9377]

Use break not engine braking unless it's nessesary. Brake pads are cheap. Engine is not.

[@joeramone1802]

[@thesighbored]

Don't worry I'm a noob too.. Thanks for viewing!

[@leongsc9675]

Thank you for the useful information ! It would be much appreciated if you could shoot a video about suspension set up in a proper way for individual riding style ...thank you again !

[@thesighbored]

Thanks for the suggestion, will add it to the list of topics for The Cleaner. :)

[@muhdnoorazmin7642]

thanks a lot for the info...and also I cant wait for another tech-talk about the difference between Up Side Down fork and Right Side Up fork.

[@thesighbored]

Thanks for viewing.. I'll add it to the list for future talks..

4:16 - Aiseyyy bro... Brake fluid viscosity? Brake fluid hardening? Brake fluid gets dirty? DOT3 and DOT4 brake fluids are hygroscopic, they will absorb moisture over time which will cause the brake to feel spongy and, in extreme cases, cause hydro lock. It affects braking performance. You can tell as more moisture is absorbed, the darker the colour of the brake fluid (from light pee colour when fresh to Zapple when fucked). As for me, I just don't like the idea of having moisture-laden brake fluid screwing around with the innards of my brake system - seized pumps & caliper pistons are not fun. I highly recommend Vesrah HH sintered ones... turned my bike into a 1-finger stoppie machine! Never buying OEM pads again.

[@amiraimran.j]

Tq for the info. Very good info bro.

[@thesighbored]

Thanks for viewing!

[@mogan23z]

Good informative video, maybe do one about tyres? Like putting big bike front tyre on small bien rear. Or using front size as rear for some models like krr

[@thesighbored]

I'll add it to the list for future talks.. Thanks for viewing!

[@IanIsaac888]

so informative !

[@thesighbored]

Thanks for viewing!

[@cyberionxi6135]

Bang, moto bila speed and ride biasa dia mcm bnyi sekat2. Masalah rantai, setting carb atau disc bengkok? Pening dah saya pikior. Tq

[@thesighbored]

It's better to take it to a trusted workshop to have it checked, it's hard to diagnose through Internet comments.. Might give a wrong suggestion which can be bad.

[@cyberionxi6135]

TheSighBored bro can you make review about type of coolent and which is good and which can harm seal. Also coolant for car can be use for bike or not and coolent that need add water and ready use. Bit confuse about coolant.

[@thesighbored]

Sure, thanks for the suggestion will add it to the list.

[@seriousarrr7840]

Ofcourse it is important because today world is shrinking. everything is different now Last time driver afraid of bike Now bike afraid of cars Berhenti suka2.. bagi signal terus masuk Main whatsapp.. fuck

[@thesighbored]

I don't think drivers were ever afraid of bikes.. Probably afraid bikes calar their side mirrors maybe.. That's all.

[@MrAkmal-wj5gm]

It would be nice if he can share some knowledge about engine oils for 250cc and above ! A new signbored tech-talk session maybe... ?

[@thesighbored]

Sure, let me add it to the list for future..

[@salehali2909]

Power bro..

[@AdiAziz636]

uh oh. mine had passed 20k milleage

[@thesighbored]

Mileage tak apa.. Janji pads ada life.. Jangan calar disc.. Disc mahal.

[@AdiAziz636]

TheSighBored ohh. Sad but true. Cause disc sebelah dah bengkok and brake pad dia dah worn out. Skrng kumpul duit untuk beli disc baru and tkr pad dua2. Huhu

[@thesighbored]

Yours? Gosh. Well I actually have a stock ZX6R disc. You can PM me if interested.. I need to find where I left it.

[@AdiAziz636]

TheSighBored Orait. I'll pm you
