Query Approved.

if u wanna install DB in the rear wheel then you have change the whole rim and fit another rim and it will also disturb the natural alignement of your bike and installing of DB may cost you about 12-15k

Did you analyse your braking style, tyre and other condition that might have contributed to your accident? Your concerns are fine but I think probably you can save few bucks but improving upon braking. Not that I am saying that you are not riding correctly but there is always room for improvement. Now, if a truck is too close then you cannot be saved even with ABS. If your bike skidded what are the reasons it skidded? Do you use engine braking? most of the times you can save a rear wheel lock up just by adopting engine braking.

Coming to the point of installing rear discs I am not sure how good are they going to be when installed by a local mechanic. Try to get them installed by a reputed one, for which of course you will get help here on the forum.

All the best !!!

abs are not ment for our bikes..u can put it though.but no use(my view)

HI

hi,is that bike yours?is it modified.which is that bike.can u post the photos,and more details about bike modification.

Why not? I think ABS is a good addon even to small bikes. It can definitely save many lives by making sure we don't skid!

I hope this helps you ... Machanical ABS from EATA Plast Fabrics: It is worth a try guys! Images:->

This seems like a nice add-on at first glance. I however have some misgivings about the product. It possibly operates on the principle of reducing hydraulic pressure to the brake calipers. This will probably come into play when line pressure exceeds a certain point, by constricting brake fluid flow by incorporating a nozzle.

How does it perform for regular braking that involves lower pressure? Does it take away some of the bite and feel even when the brakes are used normally?

These sort of products needs testing & certification from a competent authority before being sold to the mass public.

I wonder why the Saferide ABS product is available only to Indian customers? Only for online Indians, but the prices are in US$. Is thia imported then? Are we the ideal bakras?

No offence to the folks at BI, but I'd like to see some actual data from Saferide. I simply see a load of poorly written marketing text and a bunch of pictures of installations on our bikes.

Here is a sample of the text explaining the ABS concept, which clearly talks about cars, not motorcycles and seems to be lifted off the web:

Does this thing even cause the 'pulsing'? Seems unlikely.

hi


I would like to know what is Engine Braking?

Using your engines to slow movement, this is done by simply dropping to a lower gear and create engine drag.

Then the bike will vibrate like hell!

No, it won't vibrate if done right!

Picture this:

You're riding down a steep mountain road from Darjeeling to Siliguri. You're in 5th gear, with no throttle and the bike is simply coasting down and gathering speed, causing you to use your brakes continuously.

If you were to drop gears, from 5th to 4th and then to 3rd, the gear selection would prevent the engine from moving freely and cause the bike to slow down appreciably, without the use of brakes.

I'm sure most of us use this technique all the time!

And it's advisable to use engine braking method only when you're in 5th or 4th gear to avoid tyre lock...

thats a yamaha r1 dude !
