Samrath you are correct!
ok wont quote any genius from my side here... but has anyone heard that rear disk brakes as stronger and as calibrated as the front disk brake?????

its because IF the rear is made as strong as the front then the locking of the rear brake will result in skidding side ways. check any sports bike in net you will always find the rear ones smaller than the fronts. And yes! R15 is no exception in wet, muddy and slippery surface. It behaves in the same manner as the others do. So be careful while riding in the slippery surface. Further, in dry places one can go ahead and apply front first and rear later.

By the way to know about braking PM santoosh!!!! . we had one session of 15 minutes during our maddur ride.

Moral of the Story: It's the "Rider" not the 'Ride"!!

R-series

the reason for them being smaller in size is not because they are stonger..but due to thier position they are more suceptable to cause a skid. the front doesnt because the weight of the bike comes over the front rubber to give more grip and stop faster. As far as rear is concerned..while braking it pulls off all the wieght from the rear tyre making it easier for it to loose grip.
if the same brake (used at rear wheel)is used on the front wheel it will perform better due to its location.

@archibaby Thanks for Informing. On my bike shifts are hard since a month and I was unable to understand why it happened. I will go to the showroom tomorrow and get the tension adjusted.

@realdice Happy to hear that you are well and you were wearing necessary Riding gears.

@Enthusiast Bike looks very good on paddock stand. Congrats.

thats nothing...its just the engine oil...i own a RTR and A pulsar 180 UG3....same is with them..evn i used 2 get tensed before but now i knw wat it is actually....

Problem is that such stupid "bas***ds" in my city leave scratches on the bikes. And then our hearts cry from within, obviously as bikers we all are ...

I have one installed on my P180 - working fine! It's Company - "Policeman" (Chinese)

@ Reuterian: Right, infact from Ninja 250 to the ZZR 1400s, their rear discs are single only, in around 230 - 260mm size or something ... Not beyond that, how much ever the displacement increases ...

I wanted a security system for long, & I've been thinking about it a lot. One of the crazy ideas that came to me was: Is there a possibility of installing security system, sourced with solar? Does anybody know, how big panels need to be to generate required power? If they are not huge & can be fitted on bike somwhere (like rare fins or something), can it be done?

Xenologik

nope, solar powered option is out since the panel required would be at least half a 15x9 cms,
its much more resource consuming than a solar powered calcy, since it has an active circuit which can sense radio signals from your remote , or anything being inserted in the keyhole, plus the touch sensitive alarm.

forget the battery drain, such a system isnt recommended , i had to remove mine it started behaving oddly (and dangerously ) and has blown a fuse once.

plus cutting the wires, rejoining with new ones, only a good mechanic wont botch the electricals up.

invest in a wheel lock or a thick chain, far better.

Adway

Is the size required really that small? because, I know, where I'm going to fit those 135cm^2. You might think I'm a fool, but Dude, if you know anybody who can design a system that works on that size of panel, please forward me the contact-info. Professional circuit-designer to a 3rd year BE student... Anybody with right kind of brain, & I am game for this scheme.

install a solar panel on a bike
r u sure it it for security systems..trust me you leave n the market and come bak the solar panel will be long gone..and u cant hide the panel anywhere..
