Barricade - Yamaha FZ-16 (2009) - Midnight Black

December 2023 - Update

Jixie lent his bike temporarily during my rebuild. That time I noticed his rear brake feel was harder and on checking there was a return spring, which was missing in mine. Is it lost or did I forget to install it back, I can't recall.

Well I think i know why my rear brake pedal felt so loose at these time and I thought i was spoiled by the rear disc brake of R15

UPDATE

Finally found right length (80 cm) for just Rs 250 in Karol Bagh. Went there to grab a fork rod T and oil seal driver. On the way back, I saw a superbike mod shop and thought, let’s ask one last time. And the guy straightaway told me not to ask anyone else and pointed me to an unnamed shop in a narrow busy street. To my surprise, that little shop had all kinds of hoses.
Most of the hoses they had were DOT certified, but I’m not sure if that’s the real deal or just for the name.

Hey, How's this holding up

Hey, How's this holding up

Been holding up great, with no leaks or fraying. I’ve done around 6.5k km. Brake feel is firmer than stock, but over time, the lever has developed a bit of free play. It might be due to gradual brake pad wear, though the pads aren’t fully worn yet.
