    Brembo carbon ceramic pads

    in Technical Topics

    Posted

    The Brembo 07BB0510 are OEM pads (carbon ceramic for street)

    I don't know what OEM means for the MGS which is not a street bike!

    In this case you need 07BB05RC (carbon ceramic for racing)

    Too bad these numbers aren't mentioned on the back of the pad!

    But with stainless discs you could also use sintered pads. In this case there is a lot of choice.

     

    Other carbon ceramic ones that fit are;

    Carbon Lorraine C43 link

    Ferodo CP211 (newer version of the CP911?) link

    Performance Friction 7535.95.08.92 (second n° stands for compound) link

    pleasant NOTE: this compound was/is used by Troy Baylliss (and many others)

    or if you want them really agressive (and don't use brakes in corners) 7535.05.08.94

    And a, on internet, very recommended alternative should be the Lucas Carbon MCB 721 CRQ.

    Modifications in 2008 - What did you do ?

    in Technical Topics

    Posted

    Note that this is a unique set - the only pair ever made.

    Hmm, I don't really agree

    These covers were available several years ago by Stein Dinse. I still have the catalog and will look this evening what they costed new.

     

    At the mean time,

    my specifications for 2008-2009;

     

    carbon valve covers !!! but another mould (which I like more but that's about taste)

    Akrapovic muffler

    Ohlins shock

     

    all still in progress

    Keihin FCRs or Mikuni HSRs?

    How did you set your TMR 40?

     

    Did you mount them on the oem rubber?

     

    I would have screw it open to see what jetting is used. When I got the carbs, standard jetting was just quite allright. If you are that far, I will check and let you know.

    The carbs are indeed mounted on the OEM (Le Mans 1000 - Sport 1100) rubbers.

    Are you going to ride it with the airbox? Because I don't know if they have a fitting solution for this.

    The Keihin FCR's do have.

     

    About the choke: I think the latest FCR's do have choke too now.

    But as been told here none is missing them. As a matter of fact I have eliminated mine too (but I never ride the bike on a cold morning).

     

    An idea: if you want BIG why don't go looking for a set of 48mm Honda Firestorm carbs? Just a wild guess, I have no idea if it should work.

    Keihin FCRs or Mikuni HSRs?

    As pictures tell, I notice FCR's on Mr Pete Hindley 's bike! Maybe he raced Mikuni's as well, don't know.

    I have swapped my Dell Orto's to Mikuni TMR about 10 years ago. BIG difference! A true improvement.

    Much smoother, much shorter, much better.

    I've tried some Keihin FCR 41 as well. Very comparable. But in those day's the Keihin's weren't available with choke. And as I was still riding the streets those days I wanted some choke. In that case there wasn't much to choose from. There were also those huge and fat RS carbs. But they just spilled fuel, the slides shattered louder than the engine. I wasn't very charmed with that. So I went for the Mikuni TMR 40.

    That newer roller beared flat slide carb is a much better choice than the HSR. They do exist now in 41 too.

    V10, sports 1100i

    They are indeed completely interchangeable

    but will have another character.

    See the differences, first is V10, second is 1100Sport/Daytona1000

     

    Primary 17/23 ratio 1,3529

    1st 14/28 2,0000

    2nd 19/25 1,3158

    3rd 23/23 1,0000

    4th 26/22 0,8462

    5th 26/20 0,7692

    Final 8/33 ratio 4,1250

     

    (translation in theoretical speed at 8000rpm = 133,9 m/h or 216 km/hr)

     

    Primary 17/23 1,3529

    1st 16/29 1,8125

    2nd 20/25 1,2500

    3rd 23/23 1,0000

    4th 24/20 0,8333

    5th 26/19 0,7308

    Final 8/33 ratio 4,1250

     

    (translation in theoretical speed at 8000rpm = 146,8 m/h or 236 km/hr)

     

    As for 'The early Sport 1100s & Daytonas had straight-cut 5th gears that were prone to catastrophic failure, iirc.'

    No catastrophic failure here since 1995, over 100,000 km, and not street-legal used.

    Maybe abused but I think she likes it!

     

    You can use any 5speed in a 5speed train. As you can use any final drive in function of acceleration or topspeed.

    The choice is yours.

    Sorry Ratch

    Obviously I read your remarks in a bad way. I've been excusing myself before for my knowledge of the 'English language'. But I'm trying the best I can.

    I guess you are quite right,

    first Koni appearance was 1955, but the British Hagon was only 3 years later (1958) founded. Sure thing is it will be found in Western Europe because that's were automotive sports were tallest.

    I've been under the impression for decades that telescopic shock development originated at Koni in Oud Beijerland after WWII??

     

    Well everybody here knows, or should know, or if you don't you do know now

    that the inventor of the telescopic cartridge system was not the Dutch Koni, the Ippon Showa or the Swedish Öhlins but the one and only MOTO GUZZI.

     

    Cartridge-demping

    In tijden van steeds lichtere machines met steeds meer vermogen dringt een steeds beter dempingssysteem zich op om het contact tussen band en asfalt te vrijwaren. Het zal menig onder u wellicht verwonderen, maar de eigenlijke uitvinder van de ‘losse’ demper ofte het cartridge-systeem is niet Showa, Kayaba of Öhlins, maar wel Moto Guzzi. Dezer dagen eerder gekend als constructeur van zware V-twins met tonnen karakter maar niet echt met de meest vooruitstrevende blokken. Maar ooit was dat anders: met 3.329 overwinningen in officiële races, 14 wereldtitels en 11 overwinningen in de TT was Guzzi halverwege de vorige eeuw een uiterst sportief en ronduit vooruitstrevend merk. Tijdens die gloriedagen ondervonden de sportieve Italianen al dat simpelweg een sloot olie door enkele gaten dwingen absoluut niet voldoende was om demping te voorzien, en zij plaatsten als eerste een losse dempingsunit in hun voorvorken.

    Free translation:

    In times of ever lighter machines with ever more power, an increased damping system is wanted. It will probably surprise many of you, but the actual inventor of the 'loose' damper aka the cartridge system is not Showa, Kayaba or Öhlins, but Moto Guzzi. These days previously known as a manufacturer of heavy V-twins with tons of character but not really with the most advanced engines. But once that was different: with 3,329 wins in official races, 14 world titles and 11 wins in the TT, Guzzi was an extremely sporty and downright progressive brand. During those days of glory the Italians already experienced that a ditch of oil forced through some holes was absolutely not enough to have decent control in damping. So they were the first to use a cartridge damping system in their bikes forks.

     

    Thought this was a nice story to mention here.

    No other classic jethelmet can match the comfort of a Davida !

    Try to catch David Fiddaman on a motorcycle meeting and get drunk and stoned together. Then make a deal. Those were in the good times...
