I've never regretted spending money on brakes. Try rock auto for reman calipers, if the option has been out for while may be able to piece together a cheap 'kit'. Having said that, what you already have should be a noticeable improvement over stock. Especially if bedded correctly.

It's too thick when cold for my transmission.

It's just the weasel words our local oil producers use when they don't have an actual certification/registration.

Thanks! Looks good is a trade only brand, a bit hard for regular punters to aquire. I found this, its currently on sale and I can do an exchange for the Penrite. https://www.nulon.com.au/products/engine-oils/motorcycle/4-stroke-full-synthetic-10w-40-motorcycle-oil Both options appear to actually...

What would be good to run in a 2013 Yamaha FZ6R?

Yeah it's not SAE or JASO certified. It's 'trust me bro' certified. Hmm

https://penriteoil.com.au/products/mc-4st-10w-40-100-pao-ester it's the motorcycle version. I'm not going to knock it, just now thinking it may not be what the gearbox was designed for.

Well on Saturday my little man and I brought it out of storage, added a new battery, cleaned it and flushed the oil. It's been in Storage since we moved early 2020. The engine is a slightly detuned R6 type, being the racier kind I've always used Penrite 10W40 full pao/ester no VI oil. I had an...

In Australia Castrol LL is Long Life 04 which is for BMW diesels with DPF and low sulphur fuel. Not sure this applies in this case.

latest set of EHT squeal cold in reverse but they are in 1001 Brembo shape without ears. Set fitted to wifes BMW September last year are perfection. Front EHT pads seem to be very similar compound to rear OE MSport pads. Functionality identical.

Agree, Trucks need semi metallics. I hate ceramics, I hate how they are not progressive and it feels like the vehicle pushes through them. Let us know how you like them.

I've found the newer generation pads in carbon-ceramic-metallic compounds give great performance, tolerable dusting etc. We're currently running Raybestos EHT with great results in street cars and trialling a local brand called Bremtec Evolve which seems pretty decent. I hope you don't mind...

That's just a copy paste from the link YOU posted.

HPR 40 has been proven for years in race and competition conditions where it has an unequalled reputation for protection in engines requiring a high-performance mineral oil. It is the product of choice for many competitors running competition vehicles in circuit & drag racing, rallying...
