Radial Brakes

[Hutch99]

theres probably a thread somewhere, but i cant be bothered looking.sorry...

i thought the Hayabusa had Radial Brakes, or worked in the same way...

do Radial Brake Master Cylinders work that much better than OEM???

I have radial master cylinder on my '06 and they work brilliantly. Mind you, they are Brembo master cylinder and calipers. The calipers are not radial, gotta go Gen 2 to get them. Or put the radial mounts on the bottom of your Gen 1 forks.

Mk1's dont.

Mk2's have radial calipers.

B-King's have radial calipers and master cylinders.



My Mk1's (with 6-pots) had braided lines, and a couple of different recommended pads and fluids.
At their best they were never as good as the factory rubber lined 4 pot radials on the B-King.

I have a 18/19 Brembo Master Cyl on my K9, works brilliantly!
Did the change to Braideds and Radial M/C when i started to use the Brakes moreso, she now pulls up better with less effort.

Standard Pads, Standard Calipers, Brembo Master Cyl is Cast, (you can get Billett if you didnt know).

Brembo have released an "Adjustable" M/C which i believe you can apparently change from 18/19 to 19/20, to my knowlege the general rule of thumb is: 18/19 for 4 Spot Calipers, 19/20 for 6 Spot.
(although you can go either for either)

I havent tried it yet, but the one recomended to me was the Brembo 19 RCS
