Brake Master Cylinder Upgrade

[Countbusa]

What type of braided brake line system do you have? Do you have the standard in line series Suzuki type,one line going down from the master cylinder to the right hand caliper,with a crossover line going over the front mud guard to the left hand caliper? Or do you have the parallel system type; two lines going down individually to the right and left hand calipers? The parallel system is the far superior system to that of the in line series type system as they are in widespread use throughout the industry.The area that most people start with is the front brake rotors, as that is the area that requires improvement.Quite a number of members on the forum have upgraded their front brake rotors to "Braketech" cast iron rotors.Ray, (kawasuki) from http://easyriderimports.com.au, a member from this forum, sells them. I use Braketech cast iron rotors and they are very good. I have also upgraded my front brake calipers to Brembo 4 piston 4 pad calipers and can safely say that the brakes now "work". I am using the standard Suzuki front brake master cylinder and I think you would benefit very little (if any) from changing the front brake master cylinder! Another tip I could give you is tying up the front brake master cylinder on,with a cable tie and rag,and leaving it over night or for a few days.This purges the residual air bubbles (left after bleeding the brakes) from the system. This will provide you with a much firmer brake lever. Please note that this tip will not work with the in line series Suzuki type system. I have already tried! I hope this helps.
