I dont know the pads they used, the service was done before I bought it. Good point about the disk, I'll check that.
Quote:It depends what your coming from?My brakes are solid but like grabbing a brick. No feel but plenty of stopping powerWhere as if you try something more modern like a BMW with fancy electronic brakes then it has oodles of feel and is almost like having the brake disc in your handBraided hoses will make a decent difference especially when paired with new pads and a brake service. Thats about the best you can do
I've had quite a few bikes, but nothing with modern brakes or electronics. I guess I'm mainly comparing it to the STreet triple R and GSXR 750 I had, both from the same era and no Electronics. I'll look into installing braded hoses. Is switching to the R1 master cylender worth considering?
Some people have gone to the effort of swapping to a radial master cylinder but i honestly can't see the reward outweighing the effort ?♂️
Any idea when was the current master cylinder last serviced? Could be a possible solution?
As I say a set of braided hoses (£40), a bottle of fresh brake fluid, few cans of brake cleaner and an afternoon of your time would probably be the best bang for your buck
If after that your still not happy then you'll have to start looking into more extreme options ?
