Hi,

I read on an other forum that EBC HH sintered brake pads normally used for the GPZ500 bring a great improvement. Here is the link to the original text [L] Bike Chat Forums : KLE 500 Review [/L]. They also mention the steel braided hoses.

If you achieve any improvement with the front brake, let me know please. I recently bought a 2001 KLe, and I found breaking very weak. I'm also riding a 650 Pegaso, and the difference is simply too much for two bikes in the same category, having almost the same weight...

Tested the fuel range over the last two tanks before I hit reserve. With my backlane hooning around I hit it at 140-160 miles now.

Must be better than it was originally but I am not sure exactly what the std range is?

Paul

PS- Botika thanks for the HH info
