Hi Bolt hole biker, just wanted to say just discovered ya channel and really enjoying it, i have a triumph trident 660 at the moment but fancy a ktm 790 duke next so your vids have been a brilliant in-site and convinced me even more to get one. Great channel,Best regards Lee
I didn't know you had a Panigale, I bet that's a sweet ride! How comes you only ever show the husky in your vids? Cheers for the congrats, the party starts now!!!
@@TheBoltHoleBiker it’s great, it’s a 2014 899 that I bought new and I love it. I’ve got an ‘09 R6 as well but because of work commitments over the last few years, I just couldn’t do anything with them so they were put SORN. The Husky and the channel is a way for me to try and remember how to have fun again, and in the Christmas holidays I MOTd both road bikes ready for post lockdown so will be back in to the vids soon. I done a Christmas vid on the Ducati after making it road legal again but didn’t put the right thumbnail up😆. Excellent, if I wasn’t in work I’d have a beer for you.... suppose I can wait for the weekend 😄🍻
I added these at the same time I swapped the pads to Brembo 07BB1990 and quite happy with the brake performance now. I have a set of the HH pads here I might try at some point. I've been thinking of a Brembo 19RCS master cylinder but doubt I will.
@@TheBoltHoleBiker Was barely noticeable to start with, worsened within another 1k. Not the most confidence inspiring whether cruising up to junctions in town or trail braking into a corner 😯
@@timhowarth7720 Funny you should say that... Both me and the dealer have tried KTM with no luck. Outside of warranty and lockdown not taken into consideration. I wrote a customer complaint yesterday to argue my corner, so we'll see what happens after that. Otherwise, there's going to be a VERY moany video uploaded soon!
@@CampbellZeroOne I’m surprised it was never a recall issue by KTM from the amount of people who have had the problem, wavy discs seems an expensive way of curing it as there is no benefit other than cosmetic
Massive congrats on the 1k subs man, bloody nice feeling to hit it eh :) Haha they look excellent, I love how some people give out to us for the fancy bits but they looks so niiiice :D I was looking at something like this for the GSXR, very interesting to hear the feel is better! Nice one man!! I'm actually in love with your garage set up!!
Cheers fella, yes, feels good! Don't even know why, as it is just a number, but it is THE number!!! I'm glad you like the garage, I would be lying if I said I didn't love it as well. Behind the camera, in the rest of the garage it is not quite so shiny!!!🤣🤣🤣
@@TheBoltHoleBiker I did notice them, meant to say it but well, you know how my brain works, retains information about as well as a bucket chopped in half holds water. Exactly, it's THE number that youtube sort of recognises your efforts in a way :) It's class man, haha ah we all must have our messy spaces too :D
The wavy discs were fitted on my bike when I got it but i think maybe the original pads were left on. so when these need replacing I should go for the sintered ones? Anyway happy braking. as I get older I have found good brakes means happy riding! Pat
Huge congrats on breaking 1k subscribers. And loving the look o the bike👍watching your videos always gives me the thought of getting a bike licence...🤔
Hi Mr bolt hole biker Great channel by the way 💪🏼 Could I ask your advice on the ride height setting on the rear spring I'm 6.3ft weight 85kg I'd like to make the bike slightly taller but not have the preload to hard,any advice would sincerely be appreciated
Great upload, thanks. I'm thinking of adding these discs to my fj1200 if possible. I'm still considering a 790 or speed triple to replace my other 2 bikes next year, just can't decide....
Speed triple is a fast and excellent ped but it's nearly twice the price of the 790. The Duke is not only a super bargain, it's bags of fun, excellent handling and fully loaded. £7500 new.
@@fantastic1965 I'm thinking used triple as I can't afford new. I have ridden a triple and loved it but the lightness of the 790 and the potential to have a new bike is tempting.
I have considered that, but wanted to try brake improvements bit at a time to see how far I needed to go to get them performing right. So I started with the pads, which did make a difference, but not enough on their own, now I have changed the discs to be honest I think I'm okay with the performance now. If I hadn't been then I probably would have considered bleeding them first, just top make sure it wasn't just a set up issue, then braided lines, calipers and master cylinder in that order. All starts adding up fairly quickly though!
Hi, the smaller torque wrench, the red one, is a Teng Tools one, the bigger one and the Torx sockets are all Halfords Professional range - lifetime guarantee!
@@andreasbrander9819 Cheers, and thanks for keeping me right, I checked the vid after your comment and I did indeed say 10nm, don't know how that happened! Doh! I'll have to look into how to edit a live video - not tried that before! Good luck with the disc change, it'll be pure pleasure braking once it is done...👍
Yes, it was about that, a bit salty! To be honest, if the original discs weren't warping I probably wouldn't have gone to expense at this stage. I have to say though, now that they are on it was worth it!

Top man Mr Bolt ...Extremely informative videos and easy to follow is the key!😊
Im enjoying every minute of your channel! love how deeply technical you go into your subjects. subbed! hoping to get my 790 soon.
That's great, thanks for watching! You're going to love your 790!

Great vid. Good to know its a worthwhile mod. I'm still on the originals on mine, but always thought the initial bite was lacking a bit 👍
@@davem3008 Start with changing the pads as it's the most bang for buck change you can do.
Great timing! My discs are pulsing terribly now so it looks as though I'll be doing the very same thing in the very near future.
Thanks for the vid 👍🏼
No worries! Pulsing brakes are annoying as f@*k!
@@TheBoltHoleBiker Was barely noticeable to start with, worsened within another 1k. Not the most confidence inspiring whether cruising up to junctions in town or trail braking into a corner 😯
Speak with your dealer, had the same problem replaced them f.o.c as pulsing is a common known fault

Agree 100%. And, yes, I'd put the EBC HH sintered pads on when you need to replace the pads👍. They are decent.

Great channel by the way 💪🏼

hi... how many kms in when you felt the rotors warp? thanks for the install walk thru. didn't know about fork dive before tightening
👍 mine started warping very slightly at around 11-12,000 if I remember correctly. I changed them before they got very bad.
M8 almost single digits great new vid - Shared everywhere 4u ;-)
This friend of yours is really good 💯
@@EchoMotoFeatures Yes he produces a lot better videos than I do lol
Well we all need improvement until we reach how the pros do 💯 keep it up
@@EchoMotoFeatures I will but try ;-)
You da man!!!
Nice! Considering to change mine too. Do you happen to have a link where you bought it if it's online?
Hi, I got mine from here:

Great upload, thanks. I'm thinking of adding these discs to my fj1200 if possible. I'm still considering a 790 or speed triple to replace my other 2 bikes next year, just can't decide....
Speed triple is a fast and excellent ped but it's nearly twice the price of the 790.

@@DukeOfTwist thanks, I'll have a look.
@@michaelmclarney1994 45min 300+ corners is uploading currently - should be viewable in a couple hours.

Witch type of locktide did you use for the bolts
Are these same diameter as the standard disc.
If we ever meet, it's probable we'll never see our wives again! Great looking discs
Excellent, where do I sign?!!!🤣🤣🤣

What brand are your torque wrenches and torx nuts?
Hi, the smaller torque wrench, the red one, is a Teng Tools one, the bigger one and the Torx sockets are all Halfords Professional range - lifetime guarantee!
what is the belly panel you have?
Hi, it is the OEM 'front spoiler' I think they call it.
Arent the pinchbolts suppose to be 15nm?😅😊
Hi, yes, I have just checked and they are 15nm, did I say something different in the vid? If so I'll get it amended, cheers for the head's up.👍
The Bolt Hole Biker 10nm in the vid😊 great video tho👍very useful to me because today was ”change warped disc day”😅

Certainly not a cheap upgrade though! Aren't they £500+ for all 3?

@@TheBoltHoleBiker certainly sounds like it! 👍
Looks like I'll be having to head down this route myself, now! 🤦🏻♂️
put brembo pr 19 , and brembo M50
Do the M50's fit directly onto a 790?
@@TheBoltHoleBiker yes perfect
Loctite?
Well, Loctitey type stuff(ish)...😊
My experience with wave disc's is not good. Nobody uses them on track or off these days. Waste of money.
