I usually get superbike braided lines and upgrade to race compound pads but I get the brake fade sure enough., Do I need to go with a Brembo MC? Is it the way I ride? what's doing this? is it the fluid or pads overheating. Help a brother out!
it was on my 05 kawi 636 and gsxr 06 750, ebc dual compound pads, galfer superbike lines, motul fluid. I currently building my new bike: 2008 CBR600: Galfer superbike lines, Galfer Carbon pads, Brembo MC 19X18. I'm hoping that this combo should be the way to go.
The motul needs to be changed after each race weekend in my experience. Works great, doesn't last. That's what cured my brake troubles.
I used to change out the motul brake fluid several times EACH weekend to maintain resistance to fade.
i had a really bad fade problem on my gixxer 1000 for a while. the calipers were sticking and the pads were rubbing a lot which heated everything up quickly, once that was solved the problem went away mostly. o and i have galfer super bike lines with stock master cylinder. good to know about changing the fluid that often tho. wonderd why it seemed to fade after a race and a track day.
