I only meant master cylinder and not the brake calipers. If i remember having the conversation with the gentlemen, the total cost of a CBR OEM Nissin master cylinder is 6k. On a non ABS model, the braking completely transforms. On a personal note i am not in favour of switching brake lines from a D200 or a pulsar, braking is one of the key and prior safety components of the rider and i would not like to mess around with it unless proven otherwise. Though these are my personal views

If you have connections with people travelling from the states or UK, the same HEL steel braided brake lines will cost you 6k for both front and rear you can opt for any colour of your choice.

Cheers,

Non ABS CBR 250R uses DOT 3 brake fluid as OE.. Changing to DOT 4 greatly improves braking. this had been discussed extensively in this thread before.

Yes, I really love the food in Kerala. Wayanad is the favourite since it ticks all the boxes - good roads, curves, forest and good food. Rode down to Calicut recently and loved the food there too

If you are in Bangalore these days, we should catch up. Will take this further on PM.

The 220 does not have a steel braided line for the rear..does it ?
The duke prices seems fair enough.

yeah, P220's rear brakelines are steel braided too. I am gonna go for them soon. So would post review.

In the meantime, let me mention an incident. Yesterday, I was riding at around 80 kmph(estimated) when a i10 suddenly entered through a cut in the road. I slammed the brakes hard, the rear skidded a little and then retook the grip. I was saved by around 5 inches. Would I have crashed into the car, would have been posting this from hospital beds. After this incident, i felt my spending 9k for Michelins(front and rear) were worth it.

P220 only have their front ones steel braided. Heard Michelin prices has come down. Not sure.

1.Would like to know your long term review regarding Galfer brake pads.Today i changed both front and rear brake pads on my bike to Galfer. Just after the installation found no difference in braking however the instructions for the same mentions a bedding in period of 300km, so rode the bike for 50kms today with moderate and short duration of braking.One thing i noticed after around 47kms of riding today was when i approached a speed breaker a light dab on the rear brake caused the ABS to cut-in as i felt juddering of the brake pedal, after that twice i braked a bit hard to check the efficiency of the brake due to sheer curiosity and found even thought no difference in brake feed back as compared to Nissin the braking distance has reduced and brake had become more sharper. Ofcourse i may have found this difference because of riding with worn pads for quite sometime and suddenly switching to new set of brake pads.BTW had changed front pads at around 7500km odo reading and changed both front and rear at 15170km odo reading even though rear pads has quite some material left in it.

2.Any particular observation after using multi point racing spark plug from Brisk.

Went for a small ride today. Bike was easily touching 145+ and a couple of occasions touched 150.[ATTACH]139005[/ATTACH]

Is there such app in windows store which gives actual speed?

Thanks for the info on brakelines mate. Will check again.


Got my tyres changed to Michelins for both front and back. Costed me 4800 for rear and 4200 for front. Got a discount!!!!

A sintered brake pad is superior to the Organic compound type....better still is the Kevlar ones ,and still better Ceramic, with increasing cost . The ceramic pads need matching Disc plate to withstand increased heat ...
Just my thought.

Sid, asking this question due to sheer curiosity......... even i am using the same setup however just wanted to know are you feeling the steering a bit heavy after switching to michelin,initially i changed my rear tyre to michelin later after a couple of thousand kms when i installed mich in the front ,the steering definitely felt a bit heavy. Even though grip is simply excellent,also a few of my friends from our CBR group felt the same when the rode my bike. After a lot of experiments we decided to swap the complete front wheel with another cbr's wheel shod with conti-go and found the steering light again,also another ninja owner from pune who has the same set-up installed on his bike too complained of the same issue on his bike as well.

PSR sir,thank you very much for your kind and valuable advise....lol , it is definitely a life saver due to the excellent grip it provides hence wont mind a minute trade-off in terms of maneuverability .
