What makes you come to the conclusion your rear brake needs to be sharper Liam (he asks in a suspicious tone)?


The feel and response just isn't as good as when I had my original 600 - granted it could simply be a case of expecting too much from a heavier bike. I've had no real issues stopping, just figured it might be worth switching the pads out to see what a difference it would make. If I find the EBC pads aren't any good, I'll put the old ones back in and pick up some SBS Ceramics as its the brand / type I've had good experience with before :)

I don't really understand why all the 600 guys want to put the blue spot caliper on the back of their bikes. Ok, so I haven't ridden a 600 in a long while, and can't remember what the back brake is like, but even with standard pads, the blue spot is too much really; or at least, I find it to be. And that's on the heavier thou. Brilliant on the front though.
I agree there is no point in blue spot ( for me)
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
