brake upgrade options???

Post by zophill »

hi all, iv been looking at upgrading my brakes, got standard all round apart from s/s hoses front and rear. the font feel very spongy to me and dont fill me with much confidence. :thumbdown:

iv looked around a few of the threads and its all a bit confising to me :? :D


What do you think works best?

thanks all :D :thumbup:

there's a good thread on ozfirestorm about what mods work, what bits off what bike etc.
might be worth you haveing a look.

if your brakes feel spongy do they not just need bleeding / fresh fluid?
with the ss hoses on they should be proper stiff imo?
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

hi benny, they have been bled and re bled with fresh dot 4. calipers have been stripped and cleaned with fresh seals, no air or dirt coming through.
could the m/c be the cause?
cheers
