Hi buddy. Any open design disc brake (not like car hidden inside) will looses a lot of its capabilities when comes to rain. Steel hoses can only help to only certain extend.

Be sure you have these follows up; use good brake fluid, proper bleeding and good pads. After, you not satisfy, you may want to look into change your master pump. After still not satisfy, you may also change your rotors with floating and better materials made.

 

Go for Hel because their design downwards are in Y shape fluid distribution, not like GB. GB uses series link. I think Hel prices is a little better and prices exclude installation. Well all depends on the vendor. Yes to your question, they are all packed in 03 for front and rear.

I am yet to fix mine, maybe can gather for group discount.

then any idea on swage plot lines?

u should try swage.or some ppl call it plot i think

Hi Shoei

Yes I read about this brand SWAGE in the brake hose tread somewhere in this forum. Seems that its available in Motoworld. It is also one of my choice should I go ahead with such an upgrade. I was also tryin to find out the differences n advantages of each brands can offer.

Just to get a little off topic here... I remember I was told u ride a TL. Apologies if I mistook u for someone else. Didnt get to see your bike the other night at Taman S11. Pls enlighten me, which type of TL r we talkin about here? The half fairing or like the one in the attached pic?

[kelvin_luffs]

hi newbusa.. hahaha how?? tried to go alittle faster? I did my 1st servicing today.. happy!! hahaha

I personally feel that the brakes were a bit 'weak' considering that they are 6 ports. However, i feel that its because of the weight and power of the bike that causes it.

Hi LMF

My sentiments exactly. I've always been impressed with big bikes ever since when I was only a 2A rider. Double front disc brakes, six piston calipers and such. Imagine my dismay when I kind of felt the brakin on the Busa seems 'ineffective' compared to my previous bike, Ducati 400.

Anyway, much of my doubts n ignorance have been pretty much answered in your post n that of NormalAspirated. HEL sounds like quite a good choice now.

[shoei]

honestly the tokico six potters aint that good.anyone has other suggestions/

[kelvin_luffs]

i've had some bad encounters on braking myself.. hmm.. perhaps its a gd time tat we do an ungrade on our braking system.

Hi dude.

Very informative. Thanks.

I dont know much about the technical differences n stuffs about Y shape distribution or series link. But if u personally recommend HEL for its advantages n cost, it cant be wrong.

Should u decide to get it installed, lets do it together.

Hi Kelvin

Nah, me still ridin like a wimp. Still going at 100 with occasional very short burst of 120. My Busa also 'shake head'.

A couple of hundred more kms n I'll be headin for a second servicin.

If you r also interested in the brakin system upgrades, we could set a date to get it done together.

Agree with you too. Wonder how's Nissin ones. I think aftermarket calipers besides Brembo, there are AP racing, Beringer, Discacciati....can't think of any already.

Wow

U do know alot of brands here. I only heard of Brembo.

Let us all give our Busas a state of the art brakin systems. So we can do endos in unison. Hehe. Just kiddin...

yeah i planning to upgrade my brakes too. nissan like the ones motorworld has??

 

i am not sure if they fit the busa.but they looks great

 

 

our six potters needs to be regularrly serviced

[newbusa]

Hey Shoei

Ignore my earlier post.

I finally realised that could be the picture of your TL u r using for your avatar.

my braking simple to say isn't as effective as wad i expected.. perhaps like wad newbusa said.. perhaps its the sheer weight n power of this machine tat the braking system isn't feeding enuff effectiveness for braking.

 

My brakes didn't really work up well 2 days ago n i almost kissed someone's butt.. I dun really noe how to explain it in technical terms but i feel tat somehow, I ought to get something betta for my braking system..

 

tat's y i've been following this thread on breaks so closely..

 

any advises?

hey there newbusa

 

hee... safe rider U! Yes, perhaps we can meet up soon to change the braking systems for our busa.. for normal riding, its fine... but I dun have the confident for the stock braking system at high speeds.. like i posted previously, i almost kissed someone on their arse.. perhaps i shld brake harder, but fact it, I've already pressed on my brakes quite hard..

Yo dude.

Exercise caution u must whilst followin behind a vehicle.

Thats exactly the case with me. While I wasnt tryin to 'kiss' anyones arse then, I was tryin to stop before the junction. Much pressure was applied on my front n back while preventin the potential of a lockup but I was like "hey, why arent u stoppin yet". But then again, the road was wet with a slight drizzle.

[jerryGSR]

During my days on a blade...... i got advice from a season rider regarding brakes during a PG session.

 

The main components that affect braking power are as such, master pump, brake rotors, brake pads, brake lines, calipers...... and oso tires and suspension settings.

 

most of the pro riders will onli change master pump, rotors, brake line, the last tin they wanna change is calipers....... due to the fact that in theory, he said that the most influencial part is the master pump, follow by the rotors......

 

so till now i am trying hard to enlighten myself on wat he said to me......

 

another note to add, the brakes for busa were design to slow down and stop the bike even its at 300++, they haf been no changes to the brake since it was introduce in 1999.

 

most of the riders here change brake lines n brake pad to improve the brake, and it is sufficent for their needs.

 

but anyway, i oledi plan to changing my master pump to Brembo 19/20...... should haf great improvement......

 

thats my 2 cents worth.....

Hi Katakiller

Yup, got your nick right.

U intend to change your brake lines? HEL? Where's this Sporting Motor?

I wanna upgrade my brake lines for a start. Last heard NormalAspirated n KelvinLuffs has this intentions too. Should we group up?
