Quick and to the point, the reason to change your brake fluid is to save your ass! Brake fluid is a hydroscopic which means it attracts water, big deal right? Wrong, through the brake lines and through your resevoir brake fluid attracts water, water has a really low boiling point, the more water in your lines the lower your boiling point. So you smash the brake pedal to stop you from slaming into the car ahead of you but your brakes barely keep you from hitting him. Your pedal feel may be very “mushy” as some may say. Your pads and rotors are fine so what’s the deal. When you slammed your brakes their is a good chance your brake fluid boiled, in turn becoming a gas. Which we all know you can compress gas a lot! So your pedal sinks to the floor. Of course that is worst case scenerio but that is the situation that we are trying to avoid by changing our fluid. Another reason is with our expensive ABS ESP etc. etc. we want to prolong their life as long as we possibly can, new brake fluid will keep corrosion to an absolute minimum.

Most 17” wheels will clear the outer diameter of the caliper. Wheel weights mounted on the inside of the wheel may need to be repositioned. The more critical clearance is the spokes of the wheel to the outer face of the caliper. Do not assume an 18, 19 or even 20 inch wheel will clear the outer face of the caliper. A minimum distance of 60.81mm, measured from the outer rotor face to the inside face of the wheel spokes. This is the net metal-to-metal measurement. We recommend at least 2mm additional clearance to clear the ST-40 caliper on our big brake kits. Please refer to the Wheel Fitment section of our website to confirm any wheel fitment issues.

This will also space out the entire wheel, widening the track width of the vehicle. Fender clearances should be checked on lowered cars, and longer lug studs or wheel bolts are usually required. Note: The Wheel Industry Council has issued guidelines advising wheel spacers not be used. It is the responsibility of the customer to insure wheel spacers are properly specified and installed.

The procedure below was written up for a 1998 2.0 Twinspark with vented front discs but should be the same for all 156 models. The shape of the pads will differ between vented and solid discs at the front. Later models have larger rear discs and therefore different pads. It should not matter if we are talking standard brakes with normal or drilled/grooved discs with high-speed road pads – the process is the same. The only difference is that some front pads don’t have the wear indicator so you will need to tie the cable back out of the way if not required.

How to determine what type of brake calipers and ABS sytem is fitted. During development of the cruise control for the R1150GS we have been aware that there are two different types of front brake caliper and two different ABS systems fitted to this model, and some bikes without ABS. In order to supply the correct kit for the bike, we need to know what type of front brake calipers your bike has, and what ABS system (if any) the bike has. This is easy to determine by following the instructions below. Identifying the front brake calipers. The earlier models were fitted with Brembo brake calipers.
