Brakes and Fort William. ZX-9R Brakes and Oil. BMW Repair and MOTs. Directory of Motorcycles Blogs. Monday, July 29, 2013. Brakes and Fort William. I have managed to get all the air out the brake system on the ZX-9R by having the lever pulled back overnight. The brakes are now fine, but now as I am used to the superb brakes on the K1300S it is difficult to tell if they are any better than before I overhauled them. Due to the predicted bad weather we never went to Fort William. Saturday, July 20, 2013.
