This is how it should come from the factory! 🔥
Yo guys, we're back baby with another video
Have you ever had a dream that
that you
I guess i've never done like an actual proper intro
But my name is cam
I ride bikes and I get people hype and I pass along information that I learned and I want to see you guys succeed
As much as I do myself. So here's where we're at
Today is a video on upgrading the brakes, you know, we've done a lot so far
But there's of course more to do and we have the same pads
On blue and I love them so much. I never knew braking could be that way. I honestly just did it
So this is the first step to kind of getting better upgraded system for sky. We are going with
Golfer, of course, this is the brake setup. These are the pads that I am running on
Blue and this is what makes me go stop stop in the corners
And you guys of course know this is my track bike officially now
Uh, even though I still have street fairings on it because I still ride it on the streets every once in a while
But she'll probably be full track bike next year
We did a video on blue last year and we did lines did change out the fluid changed out the master did
Pads and it made the world a difference and I never realized i'm like, all right, you know
You're going fast, but especially on the track
You need to learn how to stop and now that I know what good stopping power is
I want to do the same to sky and I actually it's not even like an option at this point
Unfortunately, yamaha does not provide any pretty much aftermarket. I should say or any
Upgraded braking system on a regular base. I guess base model r1. It's not an r1m
But regardless of the point is we don't have an aftermarket master. We don't have aftermarket rotors
We don't have aftermarket calipers. So this is the step
So this is what we are going to start off with. I want to see the difference that we get from here
I'll probably change out the fluid later on this year. And then from there i'm actually going to probably do a master
Maybe calipers and rotors eventually, but I don't want to jump ahead jump the gun
that'll definitely be for when it's track ready, but I definitely need to upgrade this thing because the speed that you can gain and
How fast you go you need to equally have braking force to stop that power
We're not topping out at we topped that blew out at around 155 miles per hour
If I took this to the track, we're topping out at like 190 180
I I think it goes once i've i've had it up to like 176
I think there's a little stroll ended up in mexico. I was like, whoa, you know
We might as well use the time to get a little speed in let's get these pads on. It's pretty simple
Uh, i'm not gonna walk you guys through it, but i'll give you a general idea of what it is to change brakes
You don't even have to remove the actual wheel
You don't have to do anything on the front on the front. All you have to do is take these two
12s out these two bolts compress the caliper by pretty much pivoting it to the side
Once it's pivoted to the side, you should be able to sneak it right out and then it's out
Then what you have to do is take out the cotter pins
And then your pads should actually just drop right out
Once you take out this little rod and you put your new ones in both sides boom boom boom put everything back together
And you're good to go on the rear. It's a little bit different
You have to take off the wheel once you get off the wheel get in here slide these sideways
Take this out unscrew that get the rod out put your new ones in
And then you're pretty much putting it back together, but let's jump into this later in the video
We will actually be doing a performance video, which will probably be tomorrow. So we're going to take her out
I know what the braking feels like now currently, but let's see how much of a difference just pads
just upgrading pads can do to everyday street riding maybe in the instance that
You need to actually brake very hard because a car pulled out in front of you
There's techniques to like not flipping your bike because sometimes it honestly could be to that point on blue
I could go into a full-on endo if I wanted to very quickly very aggressively
So it's all about power, you know what I mean, but you're done with your fingers, but girl, that's the point
We're gonna be taking her out later in the video rip around on her hands are a little bit dirty
Maybe wear some gloves
But we got the new pads in as you can see you see the white very simple
It's probably one of the upgrades that you should probably do if you don't have upgraded brakes
This should be the first move the absolute first move front is already done
It's legit been maybe 15 minutes
All I used was literally this a 12 and a little screwdriver to get the clips out. That's literally it's so easy
So if you have bad brakes, why i'm trying to help you like go get pads
All right, boys. So this is the first time i'm actually riding with the brakes done now and um
Way noticeable difference from stock to just pads, that's it. I mean I already have still rated lines
She's here to rock and roll today been a couple days since i've been on her about midday right now one eight monday
so
Prime example why you need brakes is because I did not know everyone was breaking
These brakes are something serious baby
something serious
I just use front mainly i'm not even I have to
Mess with it now because it's like the biting point's a little bit different
It kind of sucks because that oem one i'm like right in between five and six and I can't find the comfy port
Six is too far out five is a little bit too far in
Does that make sense but like with my acasado like I can find that sweet middle spot, but these brakes are freaking
They do injustice, but I haven't even like smashed on it yet
I've done like traffic stops and that that that's that was probably the most power I actually put onto it
I have a gopro facing the rear and it's so close to the tire and i'm like hoping I don't do anything
Stupid to make it fall off. I should have probably safety wired it. I don't know why I did safety wire
I should have safety wired it. I have safety wire too. That's the funniest part
We're gonna just try to avoid all bumps at all costs. I have all my camera equipment with me. It's so heavy guys
What is this a nice little split in the traffic?
So
I really have zero clue where I can go to where I can actually like get on it set up my camera be in a
Disclosed area like low low low traffic. So i'm going I don't know i'm gonna go north. Hopefully I can find something
I don't want to go out to the horse and buggies. Damn it
I do need to go out to the horse and buggies
But if I go out to the horse and buggies like what if I shouldn't get covered in bugs?
But that's ideally where I need to go. Damn it. Yeah, I gotta go. I gotta go there
That's where i'm gonna go to the simple lands, but that is the safest way because there's literally no one around
Okay, I I started pulling probably I was probably like at the end that was like 70
The gravel on these brakes are it's smoother and a lot more prominent if that makes sense the gravel these brakes are
Significantly different than oh, yeah, and I noticed the same thing on the r6
But when I did the r6 I did lines I did the pads
It's just with pads to the ha sinister the race pads the grab I can feel tension right there
So hold on i'll get i'll get it with you again. Hold on
I gotta just go slower this bike. So i'm on the gas, right?
Everything's fine. You see my finger and I grab and I feel it right there
Maybe maybe a quarter of an inch flight or movement
And i'm already feeling the effects which is great because then you can really start feeling your trailing but the braking power is
Sudden and oh geez. I hate abs. I can feel abs sometimes like if you go into a harsh one
It's like says no. Oh my gosh. I just squeezed my balls against the tank. I didn't think that through. Oh my gosh
I love my life
Good the bad the ugly and the painful
Trying to put out more videos on the build on anything. That's like actually interesting like a windshield like I can't
I'm, not making a video on a windshield. All right, let's see. We're doing 30
That was quick that was quick. Somebody pulls out in front of you. You're cruising along. Someone doesn't see you
Maybe you're in traffic. Bang. Bang. Bang. Oh my gosh. Wait, that guy definitely can hear me
Oh my gosh, just put this down what if you were sitting in a car right and you're pulling up right you stop
You hear you hear the guy behind you?
Like what?
But if you guys want to get a set of these brakes, make sure you head over to golfer
Check them out golferusa.com. I believe anyway, either way i'm putting i'm putting a link in the description. I forget what their website is
Yeah
Why do dogs breathe like that their heartbeat like their heart rate is so fast
I'm, just like honestly curious like can someone tell me in the comments but like while you're in the comments
Let me know what you think about pads. What's your favorite brand who you guys go with?
Have you guys gotten aftermarket brakes before?
Come on, like I get hot and then my brain like stops working
It starts like overheating like your iphone you ever leave it in the sun it starts overheating
You're like what the hell and then you put it in the freezer. You guys do that
I do that all the time. It'll overheat and i'm like, well you're going in the fridge
Dude, there's light
Holy no way
No way
What?
Yo, listen, listen, I swear my oem pad would have not I would have been right through this intersection
I was going in with a lot of faith right there. No freaking way. Oh my god
So
Jeez when you really start the problem they stop and you can feel like back there when I just did that I was like
Opportunity to use the brakes, right?
Maybe not the best place right because the lights could have turned green
Car could have been an intersection
But I could feel when the rear tires started to lift and I don't know if that was the technology kicking in
Or abs like sensing not abs, but something sensing that the rear tire was lifting
But I can definitely feel it starting to skip which is freaking awesome. I cannot wait to take this bike to the track
Please no one turn left don't turn left anyone just go straight
Oh, I see a minivan turning. Oh the student driver's turning. Oh the truck in the trailer
And my turn
Dude like you could you tell me that's not a worse lineup a minivan a truck with a big freaking camper on the back
And a student driver all going right in front of me on the road that I wanted to pick up the pace
Like just my chances, right?
This is a sign from god saying oh, bro. Just just chill. I mean, there's no one behind me so I can just slow off
That's funny though, that's legit legitimately funny
You can't say anything else looking back with a book bag and a jacket on for traffic is like nearly impossible
Whoa, it's really pretty out here
All right now we have a car
All right, let's see
Bike stopped perfectly
Dude the bike slows down quicker than the speed can my man. Yep
Damn that's a big house
Damn, that's a nice house. Damn
Oh, I like the color of that
Too dark of a gray, but I like the stone
Did you ever think of the day of like coming to a killer cam video and we're talking about houses?
It's time to grow up boys, but i'll be damned if I stop being uh, what's the word?
I completely forgot the word I was going to use but basically in terms I try to have fun
Whenever whatever I do some things are definitely tedious and boring, but I still love them some things
It's like a weird thing. It's like I don't enjoy this but like I know I love it like
Doing laundry is one of those weird things you ever do with laundry?
You're not damn dude doing laundry sucks. Oh that couple is definitely looking at me staring at me. I am currently waiting
So
Yeah, these uh, these brakes work and they do they do their job they break they break hard they break smooth
I can tell you that much there goes my review
Massive difference though over stop, but if you don't have still line golfer still does have lines
So if you want to buy a set of lines, that's what i'm running on the r6 go for lines and pads
I don't know how people don't like actually that's why i'm telling you guys because I didn't know I knew nothing about brakes, right?
Like I didn't know I could upgrade them to where they were
I just accepted what my brakes were but you soon realized that's why i'm here
It's because I didn't know that then I learned and it's like
Well, how many other people don't know that and need to know that and that could save them from going into someone say someone pulls
Out in front of them. They need aggressively break in that occasion
It's like that's why i'm here to share this information and what i've learned my experience is so that you guys can better your riding
Save your lives. First of all, don't die like i'm gonna end the video here
I hope you guys had a great time
If you guys have not watched all my footage, dude, he probably wants to eat my face off right now different bike different helmet
Come here diesel. Come here
Yeah, he's really a guard dog. Can you say bye? I wish you could talk
That would be awesome, what's up
Dude, you're just always so chill
I hope you guys had a great time
