xtreme_exploder Added a reply to Improving RM250 front brake

1/11/2016 9:01pm I was rebuilding forks for an '06 RM250 and noticed something odd. There's no bleed holes in the side for the compression adjuster needle. You can just see the blank hole not drilled all the way through: 
Every other twin chamber Showa I've worked on had holes there like this: 
Is this a manufacturing defect or is that...

10/5/2015 5:56am I have an 05 RM250 and the front brake isn't nearly strong enough unless I use 2 fingers or more. I already have a Galfer ss brake line and the brake is very firm, just no power. I would like to get more power without an oversize rotor kit. I've tried al kinds of pads (Braking pads did the best)...

7/24/2015 11:57am I just put on a master cylinder from a 2012 CR250F, damn what an improvement! The brake engages smoothly as soon as the lever moves. No more dead zone like there was stock (no matter how much I bled it, there would be way too much lever travel before it grabbed). And the further you pull the harder it stops...

6/25/2015 10:53am I heard the 07-up crf setup was the way to go? They redesigned the master cylinder and apparently even guys with older Hondas would put that on their bike for better braking.
