I have zero knowledge in karting and we just got my son a brand new kart, your videos are really helpful, a big thank you from Melbourne
Glad to help
You’re a lifesaver mate! I’ve been struggling with cleaning my son’s KR brake system for the longest. Best Karting content hands down.
Glad it helped
Great thorough video of necessary brake maintenance. Very well done. Cheers 🏎️
Glad it was helpful! thanks heaps for watching and commenting on the vid !!
i usually like to use the wooden handle of a wire brush for your caliper pistons. one trick is also to use the hydraulic system before you pull it to pieces to pop your pistons on the bench. I'm not a fan of rubber grease, just lubricate with brake fluid. keep up the good content
Great point! thanks for watching the vid
Great vid😀 so glad I found your channel, its been a real help to me as a new “kart dad”. A real help to me would be a vid on “trackside maintenance” that often needs to take care place in between rounds, e.g. what should be on my checklist at the end of practice rounds before races: e.g carb cleaning how & how often, checking/adjusting ride heights and widths etc etc..
thanks heaps for tuning in and watching the videos Broshef
Funny enough been bleeding the brakes on my son's OTK today, tho reckon we have a leaky seal somewhere... your video has come just in time :)
thanks legend , got a few videos on brakes
looking at the boot in the resevouir when you took the cap off, that needed a fair amount of more fluid put in. like the birel system as the pads wear the fluid goes down and sucks the boot in as well indicating that you need some more fuid. good time to check how much meat you have on the pads as well. good pactice we found is when your back from the track take the front boot off and squirt some brake cleaner etc up there to displace dirt and moisture. if this doesnt work for your customer after everything is fixed, get them to try the rear calliper from the KZ chassis, for the bigger person in statue seems to work better for them.
thanks for the tips legend. the bigger calliper sounds like a good hack
we use the birel 4 pot kz rear caliper on our S8 / S6's single speeds boys like the feel of the bigger brake
Can you do a video on the KR front caster camber angles adjusters pls :)
great idea
This is great! What are you using or recommend for the parts washing? Same for other parts?
Yeah can use brake cleaner. But wash things out with soapy water and then Methylated Spritz 😊
Yo Dez! Love these kind of videos. House of power Rules...
Did you already did a dyno run on a 2024 Rotax cylinder? And did it compare it to a 2023?
Nah not yet, but if I get one I will for sure
Get rid of those add-on Ackerman pieces on the spindles!!!😂😂
are the brwaks from every go kart generally the same?
more or less. these ones are very similar to CRG or Intrepid / SKM
Finally Bro a Kart Republic but thats a wpk?
yeah same same but different colour
This rubber boot needs some improvement from KR! It’s a failed design in my opinion
yeah maybe another internal lip seal for the plunger to go through ???
