you havent even taken the Magura out of the package yet LIAR!!

ive run a Brembo, R1 Radial and even a RC51. if you bleed it right, you can use 1 finger all day on all of them.

the biggest thing i think is gettin one that you can position at the place you want it and get good leverage on it. if its not in the position/angle you like, then youre not gonna like it.

Put it on Fri night

I've rode with properly bled brembo, new radials, and the magura puts them to shame.

Re: what master are you runnin for the HB

hey speaking of bleeding.....I ended up buying some speed bleeders for my stunna and let me tell you....they are the sh-t... Bleeding brake system made way easier and better for making sure all the air is out of the brake system. The speed bleeders have a little check valve in the fitting so you can loosen it, bleed it by yourself, then tightened the fitting without any air getting in the system. I used them, they kick ***, try em out if you are having bleeding troubles or brakes feel squishy.

They actually work the same as for 1 finger and how easily they grab. What makes the magura better is when you pull on the lever you can feel the pressure on the lever and be more precise, instead of pulling not feeling anything until you grabbed too much, the actual shape of the lever isn't so bent like the brembo, easier to mount the clutch lever any way you would like cuz the master is so compact, and the adjuster is on point.

From what I heard the brembo and magura is made from the same company but but the magura is just the top of the line, and there is no arguement of which is better. The "peps" you said hated them had to be having a squid moment, brain fart, or are just retarded. haha!

I just checked it out and actually read it. They had a "batch" not all of them, and the symptoms were no pressure, so yeah if I put it on bled it and the lever goes to the bar ya probably don't want to use it.. Definately made that for the dumbasses, so they don't get sued. LOL! For those who have them the bad batch are marked with an A or B before the numbers on the master, where they had incorrect cylenders in them. Those that are marked can be brought in, and have the internal parts replaced. Mine is good!

Thanks for the heads up though, I going to go ride!

:YEAH

Re: what master are you runnin for the HB

i'm running the 94 900rr, it's a 14mm piston so it's small which matches up with the 1 piston brake caliper great.

a 929 master is 3/4". 900rr went from 14mm, to 5/8 then to 3/4" on the 929/954 then onto 19mm on the 1000rr.

larger piston diameter is more fitted towards a high volume system like dual 4 piston brakes. If you run something low volume like 1 piston single caliper you want a small piston diameter to provide a lot of pressure.

my 14mm 900rr is solid as a rock with tons of pressure. i rock stock pads too. the only benefit i would see for me to switch to the brembo would be the sensitivity. I'm sure it's a lot smoother than mine, but it works just fine for bringing me down from hc scrapes and works great for off peg coasters and circles so i'm not complaining.

Re: what master are you runnin for the HB

I don´t have a stuntbike yet but I will get one next year...and I´m thinking of using the 16x18 brembo as handbrake, is it good or do you guys know any better to a fair price?

What do you mean the clutch Magura Master? You mean the HB that's made for the left clipon or clutch side and doesn't need to be flipped?

turn your idle down. that makes it 10x harder for a hb to get you down, it has to pull against the motor. that or be smart and pull the clutch in when you are pulling the hb and it comes down a shitload easier.

i only 1 finger my hb, NEVER have i had to use 2 fingers...not even hc scrapes, and if you don't have a powerful hb, just feather the clutch when you use the hb and it'll come down, REAL fast, trust me.
