Is it really necessary? I mean, I like the 4 piston caliper for my handbrake, that's a fact and a must! I can imagine a big rotor kit would even be nicer, but is the stock foot brake from an 05/06 kawi that bad?? Do you really need a 4 piston caliper for that as well?

I want to get feedback from a couple of guys who try'd this set-up...

Looks like it would be hella hard to dose a nice coaster or anything like that, specially in combination with a big rotor kit?

 

imo, best setup is a dual 4 piston linked on the HB. SOLO on the FB. If your FB has too much grab for you, use a grinder to put horizontal lines in the pad. This will TUNE your FB to where you want it. imo.

 

I need a HB period any would do just dont know any good ones im a noob

 

stock rear kawi calipers suck , you will get used to the 4 piston ..

i would rather have too much brake and only use what i need then to not have enough when i need it ..

 

yep, and stock kawi pads suck even worse than the caliper does!! I had to stand on my FB to get anything outta it. EBC HH are much better, but cali does suck.

 

^^^ +1

just upgraded my setup to the dual 4 piston.

 

it's not the pads that suck it's the caliper , oem pads are awesome they are very consistant ant last longer than ebc's ,double h pads eat rotors and work diferently when they are hot than they do when they are cold

 

im tellin u, it didnt do anything with stock pads... maybe they were lemons. but other riders ON HERE have riden my bike then and now. LIterally you jam down on the pedal, nothing. took probably 100+ lbs of force to get it to lock it up. Changed my pads, much better. Bike had 300 miles when i got it, looked like the back brakes had never been touched.

 

the hh pads will help because they are grippy as hell but im telling you it's the caliper not the pads..

hh pads ruin rotors

 

i think it's the same than a 2k4.

and for the foot brake, one caliper is too short. you must have minimum 2 calipers.

 

maybe the caliper was stuck or some ****.

 

ok and what about the big rotor in combination with a 4 piston caliper for the footbrake? wouldn't that be to much?

 

chadnine has it.. maybe he can tell yah

 

ok, can't wait to hear his opinion about this...

 

i have a 2piston gxr caliper for my footbrake on my 636 and a 4piston honda for a footbrake on my f4i , imo i think the stock rear calipers just suck . doing coasters isnt a problem

 

Jurgėgay -> take 4 caliper for the hand, hayabusa caliper for the foot !!!!

 

def. TRY the 4 piston for the FB and if you dont like it just take more material off the pads so its less grabby

 

i run a big rotor with a 4 piston

some on who i cant remember at the moment said think of how much power your front brakes have ,if you pull your front brake lever to the grip it would flip your bike but you just use as much brake as you need and you dont flip over right ?

 

I tig welded my own dual single piston set up on my f4i lol

 

yup, that sounds about right
