Re: Brakes

<br>I think the easiest way to bed-in brake pads is to street-ride them for 100 miles or so being extreeeeemely respectful to red lights, other drivers' right of way, and picking every chande destiny gives you to exercise the brakes. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/im...

Re: Brake disc noise.

<br>Hey, have you installed the pads with their corresponding shims? It's often said that those metal pieces are meant to absorbe hi-freq vibrations that cause the screeching noise. <p>'97 Blue/Black Ace<br>'98 Gold/Black TDM</p><i></i>

Re: Brake lights stay on

<br>Brakelight problem could be a matter of pedal switch as dragracer said.

Replacing headlight bulbs

Hi, pals.<br><br>Just got X-tra white (more properly bluish) H4 and H7 bulbs to replace stock ones in my 97 T-Ace. Can anyone tell me how difficult is the task? Does it involve front fairing disassembling or just a "tricky-hand" job from behind?<br>Thanks.<br><br>Marc. <p></p><i></i>
