You do know that this makes absolutely no sense at all right?

Re: 4 piston maintenance
Subscribed..I dont have this problem, but I had been getting brake fade here lately(was using regular dot 4 and boiled it once then i didnt change it ) so i filled it up with RBF and rebled. Well now my lever is hard as **** and my brake control is all out of wack. Beau said some people purposefully bleed air into the system a little? :shrugg

Re: 4 piston maintenance
yep i have this same problem. Mine wore my rotor really fast, at the closest diameter. Ground a groove in the smallest part quick like. I lost a lot of brake force on the foot brake and handbrake together so i know its the rotor. Checked my thickness and its too thin to turn so i need a new one.. and whoever said stop riding the brakes.. isnt that what stunting is??
ALSO maybe make a TRIPPLE 4 piston setup so you have a backup for when you glaze the one set of pads. lol what a ******* joke.

Re: 4 piston maintenance
YOU kind sir are an idiot.. STUNTING is NO handbrake at all, down the highway, with your ***** out. Try balancing a highchair in traffic with no handbrake at all. THATS a stunt. This 4 piston **** is just so people with no throttle control and knowledge of engine brake can feel like they too can "stunt". You dont need a handbrake to scrub speed especially when you have a geared up bike and if your idle is over powering your brake then turn it down.

OG is OG but **** who wants to be stuck back in the past? I dont want to be an HB queen, but I also dont want to limit my bag of tricks to engine brake and foot brake tricks...Just because I want to keep it "real"..."og" "gangster"whatever you want to call no HB stunting...
PS I doubt you get any extra points for competing without an HB....

Re: 4 piston maintenance
This argument has been done 1000 times. Ill stay in the past where you pucker your ******* when you float a highchair and when you walk out of it you feel way better then you ever would if you did 10000 highchairs with a 4 piston caliper. Im on the loosing end of this argument because i bet 75% or more people here learnt basic tricks with a handbrake. Do what you want, ride how you want but i honestly sit back and laugh when i see this dual quad piston **** isnt good enough.. You want more brakes ? Leave your bike on the sidestand and "stunt" good lord.
