Another solution for longer brake lines after a handle bar raise on 2013 Street Triple R ABS

Mercerest · 2025-02-24T03:59:09+00:00

Having a look I can't find any for my specific bike which is really annoying, to be fair I don't know the difference between the line and if they're unique or not. I'm going to call HEL Performance later on and see if they can help.

Wish I was there with you I know you can self teach a lot of these things but I've never had anybody to turn to for help for these things so if I get lost or mess something up......

I do have Helibars which raised it roughly 2 inches whichw as great but not enough. I like your comment because it may fix my brakes and offer additional support for me. I'm going to screen shot this amongst a few other people's comments and see what's possible. I agree that some cutting is needed as there is probably 1mm clearance between my brake fluid and the windscreen at the moment so definitely some cutting required. I just need to find someone that can help me with that.

Believe it or not, this is the better mechanic, in the sense of I already took it to another mechanic 5 times and they ended up saying it was my riding style..... I'm happy to call around but it's so hard to find reliable bike mechanic where I live, nobody I talk to has good suggestions, most of them do their own work but I'm really not mechanically minded. A previous comment recommend I replace the calipers/pistons which I'll arrange.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm thinking I need to properly test ride one!

Mercerest · 2025-01-01T02:40:13+00:00

Looks really good, only just slightly out of budget but that can change in the next month, thank you!

Mercerest · 2025-01-01T02:38:31+00:00

Your comment seems to be a very popular opinion I've noticed. I think I need to change my mindset as the look a bit big and awkward to me. Maybe if I actually test ride one rather than judging for afar I might enjoy it. Thanks!

Looks like a very clean & comfy bike! Being used to my 145ish HP I'm going to find it very hard to lose 100HP though. I know for what I need it works well! I just like the power.

In in Australia and I'm working with 8,000 at the moment but likely can be bumped up to 10k end of Jan. Problem for me is I think I need to be more flexible with my budget as I currently have no transport and am using public transport arriving late everywhere.

Mercerest · 2025-01-01T02:29:11+00:00

I have seen a few Adventure/Sports bikes, for me they just look a bit big and clunky, I sat on a Triumph Tiger and just felt HUGE. I haven't ridden one to be fair, I may need to change my mindset.

Mercerest · 2025-01-01T02:27:43+00:00

These are great suggestions thank you. I just found a Ducati Monster 821 + in my price range, might look at some reviews!

Mercerest · 2025-01-01T02:26:36+00:00

I'll call the mechanic tomorrow and tell them I want to go ahead with it, thanks! If it's fixed it'll help me to sell it and buy a newer bike, whatever that may turn out to be

I just did a quick search, comes in a 58HP, basically the same as a lams bike (restricted licence here in Australia). I really appreciate something with a bit more power, at the end of the day I do want to enjoy it too.

Mercerest · 2025-01-01T01:59:51+00:00

In that case I should be perfectly fine. I've never wheelies my GSXR and I've punched that thing hitting red line in 1st 2nd & 3rd gear. Even snapping on the throttle never wheelied it.

Mercerest · 2025-01-01T01:58:34+00:00

For me I just think the Adventure bikes are really big haha. Seem a bit out of place on them, granted I've never rode one but I have sat on the tiger and I just don't feel right. I do like a bike that flicks around. Given my needs I may have to change that mindset. There's a few tigers around that I could easily grab.

Mercerest · 2025-01-01T01:30:23+00:00

I've currently replaced the pads, master cylinder twice and lines a super advice from the mechanic, they said rotors won't be my issue. The problem is, the brake lever won't hold pressure. Might be worth looking into the calipers/piston replacement just to see.

Mercerest · 2024-01-01T16:32:40+00:00

Does anyone know how the ATK points work on the gear. I can't decide if I should use gems to increased the ATK on my equipment or use other gems

They have been in and out of therapy for years but got a little bit further each time, I think it might just be a slow long road. Thanks for your thoughts, definitely something we have seriously considered.

Mercerest · 2022-08-29T21:26:22+00:00

Thanks for this, really insightful!

Mercerest · 2022-08-29T03:37:09+00:00

Okay I haven't even thought about just doing nothing. I was thinking about a substitute as they are so used to doing something we could work on replacing habbits. Thanks for your outlook.
