None of you guys, except Dan, have offerred gsx1395 anything in the way of advice except to buy new brakes.
There is nothing wrong with the stock K8 busa brakes if they are working properly.
The k8 brakes have been beefed up to handle the extra power.
You only need to make them better if you are a track day specialist.
OK Ray for a f*&^ing start I do not endorse anyones products for the hell of it and am offended by your comments. I am no ones henchemen, look at my past posts where I have been the most critical of others salees techniques.
Fact the K8 brakes may be an improvement over the earlier busa's but dont even come close to a quality aftermarket setup.
I own a K8 and CAN make an informed statement.
The guy who started this post has a problem and should take it back to the dealer and insist its fixed.
Your statement about only needing a brake upgrade if you are a trackday specialist is laughable. Better brakes are an improvement in safety.
Have you ever heard anyone complain that their brakes give them too much feel, stop them too quickly or are too easy to use. Didnt think so mate.
Yes I suppose I highjacked this thread by making my original observation on an earlier post without offering advice to the original poster.
I expect this post to be deleted or shit canned by you as most others are that comment on your recent attitude or make negative comments on the beloved K8.
I stand by my comments the K8 is overrated. If I had a stock gen 1 busa and traded up to the K8 I would be dissapointed with it especially after reading all of the biased hype on this and other forums.
You love your new bike and that is understandable but keep the blinkers off for gods sake.
