Why not just get a caliper bracket from Thailand like these I posted? http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showp...6&postcount=38 Even Indonesia imports them from here If you need help give me a holler & maybe I can help you get them if need be. |

A couple guys here bought them & had them transported to Cambodia then they are bringing them in on a Temp registration The reason is the KTM dealer in Thailand charges $10,300 USD claiming it is due to taxes but I think it is due to a high markup |

Thanks, that would be great. I sent them a message on Facebook yesterday asking them if they ship to India and they said yes. Now I have asked them how much the radial caliper is for. If it's decent then ill order that caliper and give the tokico caliper to A friend. If I'm unable to get much info directory I'll definitely look you up. |

Cool...yes they are a bit busy now as they just finished Bike Week at Bangsaeng That radial front mount runs about $55-60 Or did you mean the actual Brembo Caliper? That is of course pricey at about $260 |

Awesome news.. So I got the quote from.. Rsv for a total of 2600 bhat Including shipping which is close to 60 dollars.. Which is epic. I think ill definitely go for this.. Ill visit the salvage guy once the bracket arrives and look for a god caliper to go with it.. If I'm. Lucky I might get a Brembo for cheap :-D

Sorry too. Late.. :-(
Yes yes ir does. Can't u lose traction irrespective of bhp if you have slippery unsavoury roads. Also add water to that equation and it's a nightmare. So I went out last night to take a test ride and my initial Impressions surprised me. It actually managed to save my ass twice when I tried to push it a little harder on one such turn.. It's obviously difficult to justify buying this unit just for traction control for this bike but for the price it's more or less and added bonus. Including the quick shifter it costs less than the Dynojet pcv. Although I do see real life advantages to the tc at least for where I live. |

Any updates regarding the caliper adapter by sv? I decided to go for the tokico caliper only because I've been reading online and there is a high chance of flexing if you use an adapter to. Mount a radial caliper. I can't take chances with that.

@shadewalker, this is what you need for your Woodcrafts to change the angle of the clip ons http://www.aftermarketcycles.com/nin...acer-kit.html#
and with this http://japan.webike.net/products/19841668.html you're able to limit the steering angle. |

No price or date for delivery yet. Blair should have gotten mine late yesterday according to my tracking info. I'm sure he will be doing his best to make a smart looking and strong part. I'd guess it might be 2 months out at least? ***I'm guessing*** but he told me he needed some time to R&D, set up, cut and then anodize afterwards, all while running his business so it won't be done and ready for delivery in the next few days. As soon as I know something I'll post up a new thread about it. I'd think you might need a master with a smaller piston than the GSXR one that pushed 2 four pots. (8 pistons total). Try it for sure but I'd expect the same results I had on my 04 KTM 950Adv that I converted to single disc, wooden lever feel. It was totally detached feeling from the caliper. Classic mismatch with oversized master cylinder piston. Hopefully I get my parts back soon to try the Ninja 650 5/8" master and I can give some opinion of how balanced it is. |

I've been saying the stock master is too big for the 2 piston caliper since day one. The 4 pot really worked great with it. Good feel and power. The 6 piston I have now was still good, and I didn't realize that until I bedded the pads (duh!). I just think it can get even better with a slightly bigger master. Hopefully I can try it soon. Just sitting there bled with the 6p cal on the rotor it feels great. I'll test the 4pot with it when I get it all back too. |

As of now I think Jim is very happy with the stock master and gix caliper. I'm waiting for my caliper and bracket and then I'll. Know if a Nissin master from a 636 is good for a 4 pot caliper.

Guys I've done the bearing swap. Got it done at the showroom but it feels horrible..when the bike is jacked up the steering is tight.. But when it's on the ground and u apply the brakes there is definite free play.. What am I doing wrong?

Steering bearings? Hmmm. Jacked up you can pretty roughly shake the forks forward & back and zero play? When you feel it on the ground with the brake, get a finger in there by the race to feel if that is the loose point.
If it is, tension isn't set correctly. Were you sure the races were driven all the way till they seated? After a few thousand miles I have had to adjust mine a bit as they got looser. I'd never seen that before, but the triples on this bike and the single ring adjuster with no lock nut are crapola IMO. If not loose at the race, start looking at the brake caliper, brake pads, axle. There isn't much there to do wrong on assembly. |

Well, sounds like the bearing is still too loose. You'll need to loosen the triple clamps to get it correct cause the hold the clamps at the height they are at now too. Just remove the top clamp.
I set mine much like a wheel bearing. There is a certain amount of feel involved. I tighten the stem nut under the top clamp while turning the clamps back and forth till I feel the bearing start to drag from too much preload, then I back it off slightly till it is free. You want to be closer to the free side of that range. Ideally the steering should fall to either side with the slightest pressure when fully assembled, but not be loose. There should be some slight drag on it at he bare clamps, but the weight of the wheel, forks, bars etc. should overcome that. Ever set a trailer wheel bearing preload? When you tighten the lower nut down, you don't want to crush the bearing, just feel that it got tight while turning, then back it off 1/8 of a turn or about there. Again, there is a "feel" to getting it right. After you set the tension, reset the fork tubes and replace the top clamp. That bolt above the top clamp and the fork pinch bolts are what keep the lower nut from backing off. A second locking ring nut would have been better. Are you sure you placed the seals in the correct order? |

I can't recall to be honest, and I just had it all apart last week eyeballing my fork swap options. Sorry buddy.
Are you talking about the top clamp stem bolt or the special nut under the clamp on the stem in your comments? I think you are going to have to pull the forks out and set the preload again, and be sure the seals are not bound up in the bearings. |

I've still not been able to fix this issue. :'( I finally gave up and ordered a new set of bearings.. Hoping there is was minor fault with them. I've been unable to ride my bike since then.. I miss it.. :-(
