4/5

It's still the best Touch and Texture, just the Tank Bracket screw holes are …

It is being used in yzf-r1 for Circuit, and also purchased this time for FZ1fazer.
After all, the texture and BrakeTouch is the best, once you use it, you can't stop using Level.
As for the change, FZ1NORMAL (dissatisfied with Touch) & rarr;Brembo racing master (oil pressure loss occurred, overhaul of racing master is outsourced, expensive and takes time to deliver) & rarr;r1OEM diversion (still dissatisfied with external Radial master) (Overhaul is outsourced, but it is FOR JAPAN MODEL, so I expect the delivery time will be short, and the price is also a little cheap.
One thing to note is that the pitch of the Banjo bolt is 1.0, the same as the brembo, so be careful not to forget to buy one (I thought I had one at home, but I didn't, so I ran to buy one).
There are no problems with the installation, the only things to keep in mind are the fluid handling, air bleeding, and the torque on each part.
However, in the case of NORMAL vehicles, there may be some problems, and my vehicle has an external Top Bridge, Handlebar, and Throttle Wire routing (reverse Holder).

The only complaint I have is that the screw holes for mounting the Tank Bracket were not accurate and the Bolt did not fit by hand.
It wasn't as bad as it could have been if I'd used the Tool, but for the price, I'm not sure how accurate this basic part is…

I have no major complaints, but the price of the Overhaul has gone up, no Overhaul kitParts are sold, and the accuracy is suspect?
Next time I might flirt with brembo…Personally, GALE SPEED (Active) is my favorite Brand, but I'm a little disappointed. View detail

Wire Clutch Holder Kit

Fits: Others

4/5

The details are unsatisfactory.

I used it on my FZ1, my hands are large and the lever position is far away, so I selected a light ratio and the clutch broke without any problem (Clutch is a STM Slipper clutch for 04R1).
You can adjust the lever position, so if you bring the lever to a close position and select a light ratio, it may not cut.
I'm almost at the farthest Large of the adjustment range, and the play is as close to Zero as possible, so if I grip the lever normally without fully gripping it, I can cut without any problems.
The effect is larger than I expected, the clutch is clearly lighter, and the half-clutch area has expanded.
It looks and feels luxurious.
However, the fixed Nut of Lever is Nut and Washer separate body for some reason.
The Lock nut was used, but the OEM used the Flange nut, so they used that, and what do you mean it's a CostCut over the OEM Parts?
Also, the Bolt that holds the Clamp in place is slightly dirty, which is also not possible at this price Level.
In addition, Clutch switch is not working properly, if I put oil on it, it works, but I need to check it first. (In the case of FZ1, the worst OEM diversion seemed to be possible from the shape)
Also, if it's the same as Brake master, Clamp's Pivot should come rusty.
It's a shame that it's so expensive, but it's a Level that can be easily dealt with, so I guess it's up to each individual to decide if they want to deal with it or not, but I think it's a good one.
The Clutch switch is the only one that needs to be checked first, and it's double the embarrassment when you realize it's defective only after the car stalls. View detail

Forged Aluminum Wheel [TYPE-R] Front

Fits: YAMAHA WR250F

Japanese Webike user

5/5

High texture and no tedious fine tuning

Although it is not listed in the compatibility, it was able to be installed on 2009 WR250F without any processing.

OEM products are available for both discBolt and Brake systems.
I am using a Breaking 320? and a 4 pot Caliper, but there is no interference with the Spoke etc.
Caliper's Center is tweaked a few millimeters with Washer.
Removing and installing the Caliper is still a bit of a challenge due to the narrow space.
Normal meter gear can also be used.

Because a collar is Type which is press-fitted, and it does not fall when removing and installing Wheel, it is very easy and is saved.
The color accuracy of the wheel is excellent, and the centering and offset of the wheel seems to be all adjusted.
When I insert the Axle Shaft, I can feel a slight difference in severity than when I remove the Normal wheel, so I think the accuracy is high.
On the other hand, it is difficult to maintain the wheel bearing because the collar is press-fitted and cannot be removed easily.
However, I use it for a few years including the driving in the rain, but I think that the durability of Bearing is as good as it can be because there is no sticking of Wheel bearing so far.

The Wheel surface is highly textured and smooth looking.
Therefore, even if brake dust or oil adheres to the surface, it is easy to clean by blowing up with chemicaletc.
There is no need to worry about the common problem of dirt accumulating in the gaps between the pearl coating and making it difficult to clean.
The shape of the Wheel is not that messy, so I think the shape also plays a role in the ease of cleaning.

I haven't done any severe high speed crashes, jumps, or off-road driving, but so far no deformation of the Wheel rim or anything else has occurred.
TireValve will be replaced soon as the iron Washer is looking a little rusty. There is no air leak.
Rubber packing will deteriorate with age.

The weight seems to be almost the same etc. though it becomes the comparison with the wheel which processed Tubeless with Normal hub and EXCELAluminum rims.
However, the Spoke wheel is relatively more nimble while driving.
Even though the total weight is the same, the weight of the rim part is heavier than the aluminum rims, so the GYRO effect is stronger.
The difference between the Rear and Front is relatively easy to understand.
However, if you think that GALE SPEED wheels are too light to run, of course they are not. They are lighter than most casting wheels on the market.
If you have a Spoke wheel with a tube, the feeling of lightness may be reversed.

The quality of the appearance is high, and you will be free from the hassle of changing tubes and the risk of air leaks. View detail

Forged Aluminum Wheel [TYPE-R] Rear

Fits: YAMAHA WR250F

5/5

Note that Sprocket is a Gail exclusive.

I was able to install it on my 2009 WR250F, although it is not listed in the compatibility.

Brake uses the OEM Product as is for both disc and Bolt.
Sprocket needs to be for GALESPEED with Bolt.
Although it is a little troublesome to get a special product, Sprocket is fixed only by Bolt, not by Bolt-Nut method of OEM, so it is easy to replace Sprocket.

I'm running 150Size Tire and so far I haven't had any interference between Tire and Chain, regardless of Tire maker, Chain Seal or Non-Seal.
Chain line is also beautiful.
The color accuracy of the wheel is excellent, and the centering and offset of the wheel seems to be all adjusted.

The collar is press-fit and does not fall off, which makes it easy and helpful when removing and installing the Wheel.
On the other hand, it is not easy to remove the collar because it is press-fit, so it is difficult to maintain the wheel bearing.
The bearings are also relatively easy to find.

WheelI think the overall quality of the Wheel is high.
Even if it is for dress-up purposes, it is a satisfactory finish.
The smooth surface is good for easy blowing up even if brake dust or chain oil adheres to it.
The dirt that accumulates in the gaps between the textured paintwork, which is common with Wheel, does not come off easily.
The Wheel itself is built with many flat surfaces, so I think its shape also contributes to its ease of cleaning.

I haven't done any high speed crashes, large jumps, or Dirt riding, but so far the Rim hasn't deformed or the hub hasn't cracked.

I compared OEM hubs and Aluminum rims with Tubeless Wheels and the actual weight was almost the same etc.
However, while driving, the Spoke wheel feels comparatively lighter.
I think this is because the weight of Rim and Spoke is heavier than Aluminum rims, even though the weight of the whole wheel is the same, so the GYRO effect is stronger.
As far as hubs go, I think the forged GALE SPEED is lighter than the OEM cast ones.
However, it is easy to understand the difference in the Front, which is directly connected to Handling, but I don't feel much difference in the Rear at my Level as an amateur.

Of course, it is light enough to be lighter than the casting wheel on the market, so you can run lightly.
If you have a Spoke wheel with a tube, the feeling of lightness may be reversed.
Heavy tube would definitely turn it around.

The Spoke wheel will be free from the hassle of replacing the tubes and the risk of air leakage from the Tube Eliminate Kit.

The only thing is that the Sprocket is only for GALESPEED products, so it may be a demerit for those who are particular about other manufacturers or those who use the OEMSprocket for setting.

Can I recommend this product to my friends and acquaintances? ⇒ YES! View detail
