Hi all, through the summarized title, I hope I put the scenario across a bit, however, I'll explain it further. I have a Suzuki Katana 600 (GSX-F 600) of make 2000. I'm looking for exact specifications, and even part numbers, and more specifically a place to buy parts for it.. with shipping made available to my place (New Delhi, India).
Yesterday only, I discovered that the rear brakes are absolutely finished since I was facing minor hindrance while braking the rear.. and to add to the worse, since I'd ran it a few days like that the disc seems to have worn out a lot as well..
Now, I'm majorly concerned about the safety and hence, was thinking of getting a complete replacement done.. So, the question is whether to just put in new brake pads, or to get the whole disc replaced too..?
Someone told me that SBKs have some "performance discs" so if it's not extremely worn out, just replacing the disc pads should suffice.. but again, it's the "life-saving" mechanism we're talking about here!!
So, any help would be appreciated in getting me out of this predicament..
Also, there's a "compression" issue that I'm facing here, due to which the bike kinda cuts off while near the rpm range of 3-4k, but crossing 4k it goes like a turbo engine.. thrusting the power out smoothly.. if i rev the engine at idle as well, even then it would cut off a bit around the same.. but with choke on for a while (like a do in winter mornings) it runs smooth.. so lemme know if u can figure something out of this ?
And if it is that compression issue, how does one go about fixing this ?
Thanks much! (in advance)
