Track day junkies, motorcycle racers, and street riding motorcycle maintenance enthusiasts have been waiting for a tool like this Motion Pro Mini Brake Bleeder!
This is a very smart tool! The braking system on your motorcycle is arguably one of the most important components of your motorcycle. One of the essential steps to maintaining a functioning braking system is to change the brake fluid regurlarly – especially if you are riding your motorcycle on the track. If you have ever bled your own brakes then you know how much of a hassle it can be.
Motion Pro’s Mini Brake Bleeder takes much of the hassle out of the entire process. This tool is compact, easy to transport, well engineered and simple to use. It makes the necessity to change brake fluid quick and easy . . . and frees up your time so that you can focus on riding again!
As the start of the 2012 MotoGP Championship season looms only two weeks away, Valentino Rossi gave the following comments after the last testing day of winter. Has Rossi given us reason to believe that this MotoGP season may be far more interesting than last for more reasons than just increased CCs?:
Valentino Rossi (Ducati Team) 6th, 1:39.733 (90 laps)
“Today went much better than Friday, and I’m pleased… we’re pleased. Unfortunately, we made some mistakes at Sepang 2 chasing a bad setup, and we paid for that a bit on Friday because we started from that base. Then Saturday’s rain cost us an entire day, but today we finally worked well all day long. Step by step, we arrived at our current potential: I’m sixth, and I did a 1:39.7, which is a good time considering that we’ve only really ridden this bike for six or seven days. We changed the setup, first the rear and then the front, and now I enter the corners pretty well again. I’m able to lean and I can ‘risk’ a bit more. Although we know very well that we still have a long road ahead, if we look at the gap to the front we can say we’re ready for the first race.”

We Ride Motorsports now offers our customers hand guards designed to prevent crashes due to contact with the throttle, clutch or brake lever!
The dual sided design will protect not only your throttle and levers from rider contact, but also keep your hands protected during a crash.
Like helmet protection, when you actually need these guards they will pay for themselves instantly and you’ll be glad that you were smart enough to invest in this protection.
**The international racing organization, FIM, now mandates that all motorcycles competing in World Championship Grand Prix Racing be equipped with brake lever protection.**
Take a look at the video below to see an example of why you’ll need these guards. This video features AMA racer Josh Herrin locking up with Dane Westby in the 2011 running of the Daytona 200. It was an ugly crash that likely would have been prevented if they had used our guards.
