Better to burn out than just fade away!

Bleed the system correctly including the cylinder. Don't know anymore than that. Looks like he does it the same way as me but with totally different results. I nearly went over the bars when i had to bang all on whilst out on the bike for the first time after he done them. I will have to wait and see how long they last for because he said if they go off in the near future the cylinder is knackered.

I agree the brakes are much better when done correctly but as my dad says 'you can't polish a turd'.
The standard set up is just crying out for a better set up, I know it's easy for me to say that having a complete 916 front end fitted to my VTR.
The Brembo brake setup with an sp1 master is worlds better than the standard VTR one!

A change of pads does make a HUGE difference
I was looking at the bigger master cylinder route but with a set of Bendix Supersport pads I really can't see the need. It'll lift the rear wheel with one finger!!
Egg, what Carbone Lorraines have you got? I had the SBK3's and found them crap on the road (where they rarely got hot enough) but blinding on the track
