    Don't worry about salt in washing up liquid it is minimal and about 2% in a bottle and when diluted virtually 0, all soaps have salt or sodium as long as its not got the chloride that's the corrosion factor it's not like road salt.

      The advice is always not to use fairy liquid however its my favorite do all get it done stuff. I use a spray bottle with a couple of squirts filled with water and its brilliant for EVERYTHING. Can't say I have noticed any additional corrosion or deterioration on my old bike or car 2012. Can anybody share proven bad experiences?

    Just wondering why/reasons not to use 5.1. Seeing that it doesn't attract water like a sponge, higher temps it can cope with and doesn't destroy your paintwork if spilt. 🤔

    Thanks for the up load. Would enjoy seeing some of the spanner twiddling part too if you can get a mount for the camera sorted. Was hoping to see how you removed the master cylinder without squirting your fluid everywhere before you even start pumping. Oooo Matron! Also, would the greater distance from fulcrum on the brake lever not give more power to the pumping action? Definite Carry On feel to this comment...

    I wish you had the time tk have just fitted the master cylinder rode it then compared it to stock then fitted the callipers and rode it again to see if both are worth the cost of upgrade or just one option , but that’s just as I’m tight and want to go cheapest route to get good result lol

      @@obsession_engineering missed opportunity here as a racer AND engineer I'd expected your ocd curiosity to compare WHY one is better than the other.. they're both.. just blocks of metal with pistons sliding through seals.. from the same maker!.. wouldn't it make much more sense to fit top specs piston/seal kit to the original monoblocks.. I would expect even getting OEM stainless pistons dlc coated & some low drag seals.. good stuff to know.. for your racing campaign rather than just flowing the flock bolting on all the same as your competitors that are beating you.. probably cheaper too.. but then I'm not a pom 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🤔👍nz

    Great Video Dave, what is your strategy for breaking in new Pads/discs? I've read all sorts about gentle break in and aggressive break in. Your thoughts?

    • @pauln6803
      @pauln6803 11 днів тому +1

      Stick with whatever procedure the part manufacturer or your motorcycle owners manual recommends as they are the ones who did the R&D.
      There's a LOT of pseudo science and bullshit floating around the motorcycle community.

      6's and I think they're excellent. More grip than you'll ever need on the road, good in the wet and even quite reasonable on track. And they do lots of miles!!

    It's so dissapointing to see this manufacturers cheaping out on parts for this expensive supposed premium bikes...
    I was watching a video by stone automotive on the R1M and it's the same situation on that bike to. I even calculated, the amount of money you save by getting the base model, is enough for you to buy a complete brake upgrade front and rear(Calipers, lines, mastercylinder), clutch perch, cartridge and shock upgrade from nitron.

    Accossato Billet CNC master cylinder will work a treat with those calipers. Far better than a forged Brembo master cylinder for similar money. I’m not a fan of Hel master cylinders, I use their hoses though.

    • @pauln6803

      I haven't found Accossato's machining particularly tidy, but the feel of the billet jobby is golden.

      I'm looking for something not to pricey to fit to my Africa Twin 1100, as stepping off an RC8R with the M4 brembos and a 19 ratio Accossato...
      Yeah, I don't particularly like having to plan my braking as far in advance as I have to on the big Honda.
