RE: Galfer Lines Installation - 4/11/2007 7:46:06 PM    Jaybird180 Posts: 2667 Joined: 5/12/2006 Status: offline Aight mang. I got one screw out using a flatblade and hammer.  The other is buggered pretty bad, and that WAS the good screw.  Seems like they tightened since this post was made. Any other bright ideas? Anyone know the size screw to replace them with?  I think I'll go with an allen head this time. _____________________________ Track/Street 02'' F4i ZG Dbl Bbbl, Galfer SS Lines, PC3r, Muzzy s/o, NRC cover, ShiftMinder(WTF?), Speedbleeders, Vortex sliders, fenderless, GP Shift Ohlins, Racetech, Showa Suspension Don''t go in the forest if you don''t want to go to Granny' (in reply to Jaybird180) Post #: 17

RE: Galfer Lines Installation - 4/12/2007 10:59:55 AM    Jaybird180 Posts: 2667 Joined: 5/12/2006 Status: offline I say leave the rear brake stock. Screws and bolts go bad when you take off/ put on/ take off/ put on.  It's why Honda says to replace them, soft metals I guess. I'll reserve the Brembo MC for a future racebike (if WERA allows it). _____________________________ Track/Street 02'' F4i ZG Dbl Bbbl, Galfer SS Lines, PC3r, Muzzy s/o, NRC cover, ShiftMinder(WTF?), Speedbleeders, Vortex sliders, fenderless, GP Shift Ohlins, Racetech, Showa Suspension Don''t go in the forest if you don''t want to go to Granny' (in reply to Tahoe SC) Post #: 20

RE: Galfer Lines Installation - 4/12/2007 10:26:20 PM    Jaybird180 Posts: 2667 Joined: 5/12/2006 Status: offline Galfer says to put the system under pressure for 3 hrs before 1st ride.  I'm not sure why, but I think I can follow those instructions. _____________________________ Track/Street 02'' F4i ZG Dbl Bbbl, Galfer SS Lines, PC3r, Muzzy s/o, NRC cover, ShiftMinder(WTF?), Speedbleeders, Vortex sliders, fenderless, GP Shift Ohlins, Racetech, Showa Suspension Don''t go in the forest if you don''t want to go to Granny' (in reply to mccannf3) Post #: 22

Been loking around, Motion Pro seems to keep popping up.  Think I'm finally going to install my SS lines this weekend.  Been hesitant on doing it because I keep hearing the same thing - get a vacuum bleeder for new lines. _____________________________ 1996 CBR 600F3 2002 CXR 400RR Supermoto wanna-be ;) (in reply to Jaybird180) Post #: 25

RE: Galfer Lines Installation - 7/6/2007 8:26:53 AM    Jaybird180 Posts: 2667 Joined: 5/12/2006 Status: offline I used my Mity vac to put fluid in the lines.  I also wouldn't have been able to diagnose a caliper issue without it.   After I got fluid in the lines, I used my Motion Pro 1 way valve to get the air and bubbles out.  I probably could have done it without using my Motion Pro, but I was more familiar with it and more comfortable with the results. _____________________________ Track/Street 02'' F4i ZG Dbl Bbbl, Galfer SS Lines, PC3r, Muzzy s/o, NRC cover, ShiftMinder(WTF?), Speedbleeders, Vortex sliders, fenderless, GP Shift Ohlins, Racetech, Showa Suspension Don''t go in the forest if you don''t want to go to Granny' (in reply to Tahoe SC) Post #: 27
