Hayabusa calipers

[03SV1Ksrider]

does n e one know if the 6 piston calipers off the hayabusa would fit the stock sv1000s fork??

Actually, the '03 hayabusa calipers bolt right on....




...to the '03 hayabusa forks!






Gotchu good fkker!




No really, you have a valid question. And...while we're at it, any better calipers bolt on to the 03 sv650s forks?


btw, welcome back to the forums :D

I fitted 954, RC51, 600rr type calipers and master cyclinder to my first gen. Its an easy alloy plate to fit.
Wild one finger brakes. The discs seem to be coping ok.

Wow, that's sweet! So those are honda calipers squeezing on stock sv rotors? Do you have to look out for front tire lock-up?

no.

speedwayaus,
where did you find those plates? Are they for sale somewhere? I got a set of four pot taco's I wanna put on my ride.

They are not over the top, front wheel locking monsters. The master cylinder is bigger than SV one so that calms it down a bit. I did two days at Phillip Island GP track and the brakes were perfect. I have EBC HH pads.
I dont know how they would work with the stock SV master cylinder. They should work ok.

The four pot Taco's arent as easy to fit. The Honda ones fit the best. They are cheap as from Ebay anyway. I made the plates. Theres some 6mm spacers between the caliper and plate too. I will scan the drawing and some wise guy with a water cutter can make some up. I used a jig saw and 10 mm alloy plate.

explain to me how a larger vol master calms things down a bit,....you get more fluid per the same delta X making the larger master more sensitive pending you had the same calipers.

the downside to a 6 pot setup is that you never get enough pressure because the calipers take more fluid to move.

so if you put on calipers with a larger volume per efffective distance of the pistons, then the calipers will respond slower with more lever movement for the same braking force.

if you put on a larger master, and keep the same calipers you will have more fluid movement than before and you will make your brakes stronger, and require less lever travel to get the same force.


now we can go into the differences of styles and brands and seal design if you guys want,...but ill leave it at that for now

if anyone has any specifics, ill do my best to field questions.


for improved braking do the following

first clean everything.....if its been awile, dissasemble the calipers and clean the pistons and replace seals
then bleed the brakes
then pads should be swapped
then lines ( or at the same time as pads.)
then a quality brembo master cyl for the most stopping force .
then rotors ( for lighter weight, or change material for inproved feel
then calipers.

well I've got soem Taco calipers off a GSXR 600. They are fully rebuilt, and center well off the same axis as the stock calipers. I want to put them on when I put on the clipons i've got, as well as SS lines. I will run Kevler pads for rotor longevity, as dispite the longer required movement of the lever, as long as the brakes are well bled, lever moevment won't come into play.

i will disagree, and leave it at that,....
