    Vesrah has gained extensive experience and technical knowledge for brake manufacturing since 1950. Their sintered metal pads are longer lasting and produce increased braking performance with one touch finger control.
    RJL high performance racing brake pads give you powerful braking at the track and are used by many professional road race teams - primarily the Vesrah Suzuki Road Racing Team since 1997.
    Features and Benefits:
    These pads offer increased braking power with very linear performance and long life.
    These are highly recommended for anyone riding on the race track.
    The Vesrah RJL brake pads are the club racers favorite.
    Strong initial bite, long life and easy to modulate.
    We have never been disappointed with the RJL's.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: Brake Pads are sold as a pair. Each caliper requires one pair. If your bike has two calipers be sure to order QUANTITY 2..
    The Vesrah RJL works in wet, dry, hot or cold conditions.
    These work for trackdays, racing and aggressive street riding.
    Perfect for those who do trackdays and street riding with the same bike.

    Your videos are always so helpful. I ordered the yellow speigler lines for my Ninja 400 from your website and the clutch spring ad well. You better believe I had both videos up when installing the mods. Thankfully, all is good. I’ll be heading to IMI for a track day this Sunday. Thanks again for keeping up on the videos for the little Ninja 400.

    Awesome video , as always great straight forward plane English how to. Van I don't know if it's possible but is there anyway you could make a video on commander v. I've watched many videos and they always skip to much valuable info. I just purchased a 2020 gxr1000r and plan on a lot of mods but not so much the flash thanks for your dedicated attitude.

    Thank you for the detailed video! I assume the process for the rear brake is the same? Also if I had my brake fluid bled/replaced under a year ago is it still critical to do after replacing pads? Thanks again.

    I changed my brake pads and changed the oil. After that, the brake did not build up any more pressure, despite venting. What can be the reason? ABS control unit? Or is there a special method of venting the brake or venting the ABS control unit?
    I hope you can understand my Question. used Google translation

      A little bit of blue won't hurt. You can also use a torque wrench and set the mount bolts to spec to ensure you are where you need to be. - Van

    Great video and I know how to service my bike now. I spotted the tyre has not been used with full width. Is it supposed to use full width when you knee down on the track or canyon?

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Those tires were on the bike when it ran lap record times at our local track, Grattan. The design of this tire and the set up of the bike leave a little unused tire on the edges. Max was using all of the available ground clearance. With the DOT's we had on the bike before they were scrubbed edge to edge. Every tire will be a little different. - Van

    Hey, could you help me out? Can I use simple green 50/50 with water to clean the caliper safely? And do you have to add the silicone back on? I have seen other bikes without it.

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      100% you can use that. Not sure what you mean with the silicone. If it is the backing plate for the pads you do not need that. If you are talking about the boots for the sliders you for sure need those. - Van
