Re: front brake question and endos
I had on my 01 Galfler Wave Rotos HH Pads and Braided lines and there was a Big difference but and I mean But when they were very hot and up to TEMP...withch you prob won't get on the street. I don't think that even a FULL race setup would be better because your not using them at temp or enuff for them to actually work 100%. From this I would run a Galfler Wave and Stock to slightly better but not HH pads. This would be tight as hell and give you the respose and feel I think UR after. I loved them but did noticed when very hot they would grab like glue and yet had no flex but a nice stiff feel on the leaver.

Everybody wants to get the nastiest brake setup in the world and then install ceramic bearings.......I don't understand this logic. So, you want it to roll far, but be a super-breaker? Ride the brake less, not more. Less friction, not more. Maybe coming into turn 1 at 180 brembos and 32inch rotors help, but when I was at the balance point I was barely on the brakes...and I mean barely. I ran aftermarket rotors once and they were too grabby. If you're rocking straight up and down, you don't want grabby brakes. The grabbier the brakes, the less distance you'll roll because you'll be shedding too much speed when making adjustments. I've been rolling 150+ on my xr70 coming in at 25 mph and the brakes are horrible. It's the balance point you're looking for....not super-duper brembo brakes.
It was simply a question as to what effects a much more positive, proffeicient braking system would have on my stuntbike.
Ive never seen a stuntbike that has been modded in such a way.
Originally I had thought it was completely excessive and unneeded but after finding out what I have about suspension in the past few months, as well as seeing a first hand improvement in overall feel, and power of my upgraded Brembo handbrake.
It only makes sense to me that an improved brake setup would offer a rider improved control..
just curious to hear input from anyone who has ever done and major modifications to their brake systems, and what their input on it was.
I do not need to be explained the balance point.
I am not some squid newbie please dont treat me as such.
Gorka.. that was rude man. I have had respect for you for years.
..but to insult me like that. your an *** dude.

Given the chance, on my out-dated bike, your "record" would be history.
