    People should just get MOTUL DOT 5.1 to make life ultra easy without the paint disappearing and having DOT 4 and 5 mixture issues. You also forgot to say to get the Brembo RCS19 master cylinder lever. The upgrade with SS Lines too is amazing.

    Can you upgrade a 300mm rotor stock set up to 320mm rotor without changing the caliper?

  • @paulcarlomagno1673

    Just changed out the front rim on my Harley Davidson. Sports ter 1200 xl notice that the front caliber. It's not not tin enough, it hits the rim any suggestions on a replacement caliper

  • @jameslewis6215

    DOT 5 was designed for use in the hydraulic clutch system. Is there was a internal leak into the transmission with DOT 4 there would be catastrophic failure. Silicone base would not damage transmission internals.

    Can you tell me why my back caliber on 2008 Dyna fat bob is so on the brkt on the rear of motorcycle

  • @Vecio
    @Vecio 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    You misleaded a bit with the brake fluid. Seems like dot 5 is better than dot 4. The truth is: it is not! Always run the fluid your bike manufacturer recommends. Brake fluid is corrosive, you could end up damaging your brake system. Also, is not entirely true that dot 5 boils at higher temperatures. The dot4 motul 660 competition fluid boils roughly at >350°C.

  • @billyrae1903
    @billyrae1903 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve been told the best is not the best dot 5 is for race bikes and will leak through the gasket s or seals is this true

    2020 SGS rotors warped at 5k mi. Definitely not replacing them with Harley rotors🖕that. Looking towards floating rotors. Need some direction J&P. Thanks!🏍🏍

  • @Lmacdon610
    @Lmacdon610 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another thing on that dot 4 dot 5 brake fluid. If your caliper leaks and Dot 4 gets on your rotor when you apply the brake it's going to lock up the wheel. When Dot 5 gets on the rotor it just makes it slippery. It doesn't lock up the wheel. 👍

    The stock Harley disks have a speed sensor button. If I upgrade my disks, will I lose my ABS?

  • @knockoutartist101

    Great vid. Quick question and hopefully you can help me. I have the Arlen Ness G3 Floating Brake Rotors. I happened to notice the other day that the Front Brake Rotor hardware kit (Screws, washer and lock nuts) are loose (Freeplay) while installed, I figured I'd tighten the screws and that'd be it However, this did not work as they are all in (Tightened to the max) Bottomed out. They are still lose and flimsy which makes the disc wiggle quite a bit. Aren't these supposed to be firm and sturdy while installed and doing their purpose between the brake disc and the carrier? Please advise..ty

    • @jpcycles
      @jpcycles  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      no, not necessarily. Those are what is considered a floating rotor. There is meant to be free play between the rotor and carrier, it results in better braking characteristics.

    • @jpcycles

      reference 3:16 mark in video

  • @kavinsp
    @kavinsp 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Dot 5 is actually made for military purposes! As those equipments stand there for years without maintenance!
    You are better off using dot 5.1 if your braking system is designed to work with it
    It may corrode the brake lines and piston seals if you use incompatible brake fluid

    • @cwg6324
      @cwg6324 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also dot 5 can not be mix with dot 4 or 5.1
      But dot 4 and 5.1 can

  • @dantae666
    @dantae666 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    you can not put dot 5 in a break system designed for dot 4 it will destroy the rubber parts in the break system and cause a lot of problems
