Wee Man Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Right peeps could do with wee bit more stopping power. Currently got Nissin 4 pots, braided lines, Bendix mmr pads with standard master cylinder. Quote Link to comment
MeanBean49 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Radial master cylinder is good upgrade, go for a 19 or 20 ratio. Also if you can get hold of some, tokico did 90mm spaced 4 pots, early 600's had em i think. They are bit better than nissins Quote Link to comment
bluedog59 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Before you go shelling out cash I would totally strip and service what you have. Get the calipers and m/cylinder apart, cleaned (ultrasonic is very good) inspected/replaced and reassembled with a good dose of rubber grease and see how they are then. I did this to my system ( which was, externally, in good condition) and was amazed at the improvement. It went from a "speed adjuster" to actually being a brake. If it's still lacking try the m/cylinder and caliper upgrade route but at least give your present system a chance before you condemn it to the scrap bin. 1 Quote Link to comment
Wee Man Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Cheers bluedog, calipers all serviced and work well, would just like even more after upping the power ever so slightly 1 Quote Link to comment

Lol Also worth upgrading the forks/internals, if they cant cope with increased braking power then upgrading brakes is pointless. Ive got ohlins forks, pfm discs and monoblock radial calipers and they still are only just enough on track to cope with the speeds from the extra poke from the recirculating exhaust system :-) Quote Link to comment
Wee Man Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Suspension overhaul is on the cards, ohlins bit out of my budget at moment. Quote Link to comment
bluedog59 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 What size discs are you running ? Quote Link to comment

Dezza Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 What pads are you using? I just switched from Brembo to Ferodo sintered and it's like a proper brake again. Quote Link to comment
dupersunc Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Decent radial m/c first You can still use it if you do decide to up grade the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hutch Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I put on an Accossato master cylinder and it made a hell of a difference Quote Link to comment
