After having superbikes etc I had never really been impressed with the brakes on the fazer. They were not too bad after swapping to rebuilt calipers, got a bit better after fitting braided hoses, "getting there" with new pads etc but to think they have the same setup as an R1 I always felt there was something amiss. They were also always a bit inconsistent.
Put new discs on at the weekend (off a very low mileage R1) and they are now excellent. I replaced the disks because they were very worn with a 2mm ridge on the leading edge leaving the discs probably around or below the min thickness. Rising to work this morning they are very strong and every pull feels exactly the same.
