Yes front calipers were rebuilt. At this point I am pretty certain the method of purging air from the calipers I described above is solid. I tried this on the rear caliper (without rebuilding) and it was like magic. I used to believe that the back brakes were never meant to be any good on the...

Had tried the zip tie thing and it was still a bit spongy. Tried a few other thing like back bleeding, etc too. The brakes work but just a wierd slightly spongy feel. Turns out these 6 pots find some place to retain some air somewhere. I took the caliper off and then the pads off. Pushed the...

Any secrets to bleeding these tokico 6 pots? I put the rcs19 mc and put new seals on the calipers. Brake just feels spongy. Bled the MC first and the left followed by right. Even put speed bleeders on. No bubbles coming out of anywhere. Lever is still too soft. The brakes on this thing just...

Wow!! I don’t think my busa is that hard to stop but yeah that is one hell of a braking setup

Thanks - i already have the braided lines and EBC HH lines. I have a brembo rcs19 on the way. Ill start with those things and then do a seal refresh and deep cleaning on the calipers and see where that lands me.

Where did you get those adapters from?

Thanks - that’s a very detailed page. I was hoping to find an adapter to go radial but those look speedy. The 65mm axial looks an option but something about the rotor sizes? May I ask what route you went in the end and what was the experience with the upgrade. I am considering worst case a...

Does anyone still make adapters to fit brembo calipers on a Gen1? All the old links on the forums here and everywhere come up dead. Nothing on ebay, etc either. Like many other before me i am on the endless quest to improve Gen 1 brakes :-)

It feels like more they tried to create the best platform they could under the restrictions they had to deal with like emmissions, cost, etc The styling seems more gen 1 like especially the general shape of the tail. The motor is gen2 essentially. The electronics are what’s really gen 3 to get...

Been waiting for some news on the expected 2020 unveiling of Gen 3's. Fresh rumours of a new Suzuki Hayabusa for 2021! Not sure how true that is but it would be a shame if the gen3 would just be an emissions update and not all the other things everyone hoped for like the bigger motor, etc.

Got it. Thanks a bunch!!

Pretty pricey for just seals. Seems like the all balls seals don’t have great reviews either. Might have to just visit the dealer for this. If anyone can confirm they have used gen2 fork seals on a gen1 that would be great or if anyone knows the dimensions of the seals..

Are gen 1 and gen 2 fork seals the same? It’s hard to find gen 1 seals online. I see a lot of complete kits from Suzuki for gen2’s but nothing for gen 1. Some aftermarket guys list all years as compatible for their seals so that got me wondering. Want to stay Suzuki on the seals...

Anybody know of any good dyno tuners in the philly area?

Oh nice yeah blacked out looks great and that color combo overall is really neat.
