brakes

Hello, new member here. I have a '76 R90/6 that I am for the most part, happy with. I has about a bazillion miles (dead odometer/speedo). I also have a non running '77 R100S that is locked up, missing parts and in general, a parts bike. Question is: I would like to put the front forks...

I bought my 2002 RTP from a private party five years ago. Never having ridden an R-bike with ABS brakes before, I assumed the "grabby/jerky" brakes were simply a quirk of the machine. Over the next couple of months of riding, I learned that the "grabbiness/jerkiness" of the brakes could be...

I recently bought an 07 GSA with 18K. Both front & rear brakes have a low speed surge/pulse. The rotors were replaced under warranty at 10k. I read a suggestion to sand the rotors for pad residue. This fixed about 50% of the surging. Any suggestions on aftermarket pads to deal with this or do I...

A while ago I found the ABS lamp flashing rapidly with the warning lamp - odd times during the ride this would start. I could shut off the bike and it would go away on restart. No problems with any of the brake system were evident. Then the warning lights stayed on longer until they were...

Does anyone know the minimum thickness for r1100rt brake discs? I'm helping my dad rework a used BMW he bought and unfortunately we never met the previous owner (bank sale), and of course there weren't any service records. After finding a sizable plug repair in the rear tire, we decided it may...

The front brake of the R1200GS I have squeals as I slow down, at say, < 15mph. Is that normal? I checked the pads and they look like they have plenty of wear left in them. Thanks!

Recently purchased a beautiful '95 K75 with approx. 28K miles and ABS (which I understand is standard on this model.) My 4th BMW. Getting used to the brake operation. Rear brake doesn't seem to have much (any?) stopping power when used without the front brake. I am not a heavy rear brake...

ÔÇÖ09 F650GS owner question here. My rear brake fluid has turned (coffee) dark with less than 1100 miles. Should it be changed, or is it just to be expected? Yes, I use my rear break a lot, especially in close quarters for example in a parking lot or to hold my bike in place when IÔÇÖm on a hill...

I am in the market for a new/used bike and want to know if I should consider the assisted braking system in my decision. From what I have read, people have not liked the "power brakes" because they can grab too quickly for low speed maneuvering. I gather this is why BMW dropped the feature. I...
