Hi Teacher T. Wow didn't you, and everyone who watches your channel receive some excellent advice from around the world? Great advice everyone 🤘. I on the other hand cheated. I picked my 650 Royal Enfield Super Meteor up this morning from my favourite bike shop. As a new Dunlop series 2 front tyre was being fitted, I asked for the front caliper to be serviced at the same time. During the service they found a dry front axle. No problems found but the front caliper was cleaned and greased using ceramasil, along with the front axle being greased on assembly. And the price, £196.72p. They even lubed the rear chain while they were at it! Can't give you advice on the next tyre yet, but as soon as it warms up and I shake this bug I will let you know how it feels compared to the stock tyre. So in the meantime time, best wishes to you and your family and see you in the next one - safe riding till then sir👃😊...
Sounds like they couldn’t undo those front calliper bolts either and also decided to take the front wheel off like I did to service the calliper. Glad you are all sorted. Yes the community and advice we can share is growing every day 👌🙏
"H H" designates 'sintered' pads, which are heat impregnated metallic pads. My KTM 390 Adventure front brake was pulsing, most noticeably from 5 mph to stopped. I cleaned the rotors and compared sintered vs. non-metalic pads. Using non-metalic pads, the brake pulsing stopped, but the non-metalic pads require a little more squeezing pressure, compared to the sintered pads.
Thanks for the very informative video again! Also thanks for explaining about the difference in usage of the front and rear brakes. I always learned about the 70/30% rule in favour of the front brake. So I was a little confused when looking at your previous video, but luckily you corrected that and you did so on a very pleasant and informative way! Respect! ✊
Ha ha thanks. I’m just in shock I’ve been doing it wrong all these years. But on dry dusty gravely roads, or wet slippy roads I know I’ll still be hesitant to use that front brake 😂🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand yes indeed, on dirty or gravely roads you have to adept you braking according to the circumstances of course. But in a straight line on a paved round as we have here in Europe, the difference is really amazing. Just try it and you will be amazed how quick you will stop when using the 70/30 method! In the beginning it feels a bit unnatural to do so, once you have overcome your fear, it’s really assuring to know how it helps you to make a quick stop if necessary 😏👍
Hi Teach, the secret to longer life in pads is, to roll of the throttle before you get to the corner. Also more rear brake when riding with Mrs.T to stop you getting helmet butted in the back of your head. 🤭
Sure. The engine braking is so good on the Meteor I must admit. And to be honest even better with the belt drive as there is no slack like a chain. Never had a head but from Mrs T accelerating or engine braking since we’ve had the belt drive 😂👌🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand Hmmmmm!!🤔🤔 I shall have to look further into this belt drive larky, don’t know whether I can justify the expense, as I’m 77 an do no where near the mileage I used to. Don’t know anyone local I can have a natter with. Thanks for the in-depth video a you’ve find some pads. Anti lock brakes, no more skidding 💪😎
Hey Teacher T, I wanted to share this breaking in the corner instructional video with you and your subscribers. This is one of my favorite channels and the Canyon Chaser instructor does a beautiful job of explaining the dynamics of approaching corners and breaking. It’s also filmed in one of the most beautiful places in the United States ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkxAnApSfwnSMIs8V4_W2kCTs3PpbN_8DMQ?si=1KLAgW9Bm-fftcMH

I’m so greatful. Thank you so much Teach. And thanks to the former police motard for specifying breaking ratio.
Thank you. Yes, wasn’t he a star 😂👌🙏
always clear in your explanations, thank you
Thank you 🙏
Tnx, Excellent explanation !!

As far as I know they removed the caliper when they removed the front wheel to change the tyre.

@ I will certainly be trying it, between different pads. 🙏👌😂
Save your old toothbrushes and put them in your toolbox. Use them to clean your brake cylinders or other fine mechanisms. Love from Eugene Oregon.
Nice tip. Thank you Eugene 👌🙏
The best part is the DIY. Enjoy your rides even more !
It’s like that yes. And also an alternative type of therapy 👌😂🙏
Thanks Teacher T.!!! I write down each step for when I do the maintenance on my Royal Enfield!!! Thanks!!!
