No bother with my 600 ,cheers
Rear's a sharp brake on OEM rubber hoses, fit teflon braided & OMG way too powerful.
Yamaha obviously dropped a bollock fitting a massive twin piston caliper.
Rear can be a proper mare to bleed too, had to bleed mine off the bike with pads blocked & caliper hung higher than master cyl.
Agreed mate! ... Fitted EBC HH's all round, probly why mine's in the OMG zone, reckon i'll fit a lesser spec pads in the rear when these EBC's are done, might be a while as I've got out of the habit of using rear brake on this bike due to the brake being a bit vicious, tried Goldfren Carbon Ceramic, decent stopping power, noisy as fook & make a ton of brake dust, so they had to go, always seem to end up back with good Ole EBC's.
