Title: s2r800 lines and calipers to 999 masters and reserviors Post by: convict on June 27, 2020, 11:51:01 AM the s2r 800 left the factory with some less exciting components. i have been replacing them over the years.
now i have reached the brakes. Money well spent or overkill for the wee s2r 380 pounds, Power/weight ratio:0.4395 HP/k 76.0 HP & Torque:72.6 Nm do i need more stopping power. 380lbs, i am a lightwieght. a friend has a set of 999 masters, in no rush to sell them. just wants to help out if it works. neither of use are brake nerds. yes there will be a difference but too much of a good thing .. the goal is get rid of coffins without 'braking' ;D the bank. overkill or tasteful and beneficial mod?

The PO had 'upgraded' to radial calipers.
I don't like them with the stock calipers. The feel is wooden. Not sure if it's the leverage, or what. If I wanted to upgrade your brakes without going crazy, I'd look for a set of Goldline calipers with the pee cups, and use a more aggressive pad.

If not, don't do the brakes. Title: Re: s2r800 lines and calipers to 999 masters and reserviors Post by: Speeddog on June 27, 2020, 06:43:32 PM What he said^
4-pad calipers on 320 rotors with a coffin master are really fine.

Or did you upgrade already to the 4-piston and 320mm setup?
That may help some of us answer questions better. |
