88lx5oh Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 well here is a run down of what i want done this winter if i can get it done. MODS: LOR exhaust K&N filter Powercommander PC3 USB let brian at dynotune tune it galfer front and rear braided lines and hh pads RK chin and sprocket kit 520 conversion GPR stabilizer maintenance: change oil and filter change brake fluid change coolant new front tire (rear replaced about a month ago) my question is anyone ever use the glafer HH pads, how grabby are they?? are they almost too much for street use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Shim the rear shock 3 or 4mm and run a 120/70 front. You'll get a little more contact area on the front and it makes the front feel quite a bit better. Glafer HH pads are supposed to be pretty good for street use, they've got a little higher friction rating than the EBC HHs and they don't require as much heat to actually work. They're also designed so heat doesn't transfer to the fluid. Most people do say NOT to use the HHs on the rear though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 ... and yeah, stock oil capacity is like 2.75qts... I normally run a bit over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 avoid oil with friction modifiers. Galfer HH pads and stainless front lines are the shit. Fine for the street, you will never be able to ride stock after using them. I always keep the stock pads and rubber line in the rear. To compensate for the 70 front tire on my R6 I raised the fork tubes 3mm through the triple. Definitely better than stock when laid over. K&N usually end up being a waste on these newer bikes. I'd recommend a fresh set of plugs over the air filter depending on mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 engine ice coolant You're wasting your money. This is the same thing as ethylene glycol based anti-freeze with water wetter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
