brakes

Been reading some, here is my question. Are any year GSXR 6 piston calipers all good? Any year any size, 600, 1000? Lots of GSXR calipers on Craigs list, and Ebay. Not much for Busa parts on the local Craigs list though. So, I need wavy rotors for a 92+ Vmax/R1 Caliper adapters Any...

Iv got a few questions. My 85 with late model front end needs brake pads. Can someone explain the difference between ebc hh and organic, stock pads please. I dont want more braking power (long story), but Im not sure what pads are installed now. What year did Yamaha upgrade the front...

Took my wife out today, first time with a passenger on the max. she weighs all of 120 lbs, but man did it make a difference in braking. I really had to grab a handful.

Hi I'm new here and a new owner of an 89 Vmax. It needs new rotors and I was hoping that somebody can tell me if rotors from my 02 R1 will fit? Some sites have the part numbers as the same others don't:confused2:. The reason I'm asking is the ones on the R1 are good and I was going to put them...

i noticed that i am missing one of the 2 rubber caps on my rear brakes.. does anyone know where i can get one from? thanks:confused2:

pretty cool... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260582896047&fromMakeTrack=true

ive never ridden another vmax to compare it, but it seems like my front brakes really suck... the rear is honestly more powerful... is there something i can check to see maybe what could be causing this?

Noticed a "how to" on this forum to change rear brake pads. Is the procedure the same for the front brakes?

Hey Guys: So I'm having my calipers powder coated and obviously the seals have to come out (else they be a gooey mess). The powder coater says that he'll "try to save them," but this hardly sounds encouraging. Does anybody know the best place to get seal kits for the rear OEM caliper (1990)...

What's the difference between the 2 and three line system? Is there a performance advantage?

So I recently bought a '97 max and the front brakes are pretty worthless. Is this normal for a max? My beemer and buell brakes are sharp as hell so I know what brakes SHOULD feel like. Any thoughts?

So I read up on the front brake upgrade for the pre-93 maxes. I think I've got it, but if my summary below is incorrect, then somebody please smack me. I just bid on two gold Hayabusa 6-pot calipers. My understanding is that I can use the stock reservoir, master cylinder, lines, and rotors...

Hi everyone I'm thinking about upgrading my front brakes over the winter and I'd like to start keeping an eye open for the parts I need. Here are some things I've gathered from various discussions, and I want to make sure that they are accurate: 1. Busa calipers seem to be the way to go. I...

My rear brake is dragging from your experience do you think its the brake line or should i rebuild the caliber ? Has any one done a rebuild, is it pretty easy, how much is the kit?

I heard of this a long time ago and decided to buy one last week. I tried it on the rear first. All the old fluid was removed, the master cylinder was torn apart and cleaned up. Basically it was like a new system, clean hoses, empty reservoir, master, and caliper. The syringe was filled with...

This weekend I did my front brake conversion on my 89 Vmax. I used a set of 2000 R1 rotors, 2007 Busa caliper, EBC HH pads, Galfer lines and Sean's adapter. Everything went only easily, we did have to file away a little of the caliper housing. What a HUGE difference in the braking performance. I...

So I want to upgrade the brakes on my '88. I have a complete front-end off a '96 Vmax so I'll use those 43mm forks (will get aftermarket springs). I would also like some R1-style calipers and a new master cilinder. Money is an issue, so I'll try to find the parts used. I've read through the...

I just installed new pads in front and completly bled and cleaned the calipers and rest of the system. It was freaking cruddy in there! Anyways I installed the new pads and they seem to be scraping a little bit...It seems like the piston may be sticking and not going back far enough to let...

Ok, this question may have been asked before, but are the calipers the same on a 86 model as an 85 model? It's just that 99% of the brake pads I see for sale say "Fits models 1986-92". I know the 93-03 are different, and so on, but did the 86 have different pads to the 85? or should I just buy...
