fazer thou rear caliper

[darrsi]

I use my fazer for motogymkhana which uses a lot of rear brake and the 1000 caliper is a significant improvement over the standard one. Although, my rear caliper was a rusty mess so it's not an entirely fair comparison.

That's the whole thing though, when i got my bike i didn't really realise that my brakes up front weren't functioning anywhere near as well as they should have been, and i'd imagine a few other foccers probably have the same issue without knowing it.
Basically the fella who previously owned my bike did little or no maintainence to anything.
I ended up buying a used but refurbished set of calipers on the quick and was astounded by the difference.
That's why i give my brakes a bit of TLC every few months to keep them in good nick and they work properly all the time.
Brakes can quite easily sieze over a very slow period of time so that you don't really notice until it's too late, so they're always worth a quick clean with brake cleaner and a toothbrush, and a regrease on the pistons every now and then.
