    I'm very interested in a thumb brake for a 2008 R6. I'll grab you some measurements this arvo and PM them to you.

    My cbr900 had a junction for the standard front brake lines to split. Possible to use something like that instead of making?. Just tipped the garage upside down but must have chucked it.

    If I've kept any old lines from fitting braided, I've probably got one or two also....

    Yes of course. But that's like saying doesn't your bike have a rear shock. OEM is not always as good as it could be

    I have to say Ill be interested to read how the Beemer goes after installing the STM or any other aftermarket brand that well make a difference in your Starting Woes...

    Specially after reading most of the night about slipper clutches.. which in a nutshell eliminates rear wheel lock from downshifts. Sorta acts like a one way differential.

    Say you're coming into a corner and grab a downshift, or two or three for that matter, and get off the clutch to fast or didn't match revs just right this slipper clutch will eliminate the impending lock up of the rear tire so you don't soil your britches, or run off the track/road.

    Not to be nasty girlfriend and who am I to say anything but if you watch Irnie racing video (15:00 min)



    And then watch your video , you maybe see the difference....focus on the dash.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdWVCkoXRP8

    Well that's my 2 cents anyway and thanks for helping my boring night go much faster.

    HI Andrew

    do you mean you have a thumb lever to copy or the junction valve? Is the junction valve a through hole or does it have an internal shuttle to control direction of flow?

    Did you watch Marcel's vid? Around 13:30min he got the famous BMW ones. Of course you can get a good one and he's doing it exactly as everyone says to. But it's still hit and miss. I've had one good launch. Drag racers modify the clutch for the same reason. I've also spoken with well known locals and os who race them (not what I read on the internet) and discussed how to launch and how to fix.

    no probs. I can sort out the thumb lever design with a few dimensions. I was curious about the valve tho.

    "* This SES Thumb Brake offers a low cost high quality alternative to a foot operated rear brake. " WTF? For $400 + master cylinder (not included!!) + shipping I'm more inclined to learn how to use the foot brake! hahaha

    I thought about as it's very cheap part (at least the kawi ones) but then I started reading on having to calculate squish and using clay and whatnot... at some point I had to blink and that's when it hit me!! I can't even deal with what the bike has atm... hahahaha

    Having said that, it seems that the most gains are to be had in the midrange and that's gotta be a massive plus on a 600!

    Had the Power Commander V & Auto Tune, front sprocket, BMC race air filter arrive... All fitted, except for the auto tune... because the Kawasaki does NOT run a M18x1.5 O2 sensor, you need to drill out and retap the existing hole, OR bung the existing and drill/tap a new one and use the adapter (fking kidding me!!) Anyway, will need new tyres as well to get it ready before Friday!!
