Rotors

that is a bargain! now get some floating buttons and convert them or with even occasional hard use they will warp.

Anyone have any suggestions for me on BRAKE PADS
I have the bottom of the range single pad calipers M695
I am a bit over the lack of power and not ready for a $$ upgrade so
will a aftermarket pad give me more power over the stock ?
Seems like the braking power has dimminished and I still have plenty of meat on the pads.
I don't care about longevity just want power=safety
cheers

It's a fine line, depends on  rider experience, but more power can result in less feel, which can have you doing a low side in the wet if you're not careful.

Please explain 'floating buttons'. I have no idea what this refers to.

Also I am very limited to what I get done at the local chainsaw shop.  And I am limited to what I can do myself due to lack of mechanical skills.  

Wouldn't it be much cheaper shipping wise to source something already in Oz.  Or is it cost effective to shop OS?

Monsta - nice rotor - very bling.

Please explain 'floating buttons'. I have no idea what this refers to.

I'll have a stab:
. the buttons are between the carrier and the rotor
. the cheap (on sale) rotors mentioned seem to be the non-floating type that Loony was criticising for prone to warpiness
. change the buttons to floating for happiness

I think the floating vs. semi vs. non-floating was discussed in your other thread.

spot on betty, they're "technically" semi floating but they're too tight. on the bright side the alloy carriers are nice and light and the stainless rotors work well with a well chosen pad. the buttons are easy to replace, i just drilled my originals out, fitted the floating ones with the supplied E clip and used a little hot glue to lock the clip on just like the factory set up. if i can find the link to the buttons i'll post it up.

Thanks Paul and Betty for the good info

Gee there's a lot to know about this stopping business. Looks like I'm going to busy with a bit of study.

Mmick - what kind of spares do you have?

Just the standard 6 hole ones 320mm I think

Thanks Mmick.  I've already gone ahead and ordered some as I have to get my bike ready for Turismo and things take time out here in the bush.
