900 Rr Rear Brakes Suck !?

Ok Just Ogt My 900 Rr 2 Days Ago....

Been Riding My Gsxr...

Are The Brakes On All The 900 Rr S Got Shitty Feel And Hardly Grab ?


Im Thinking They R All Pretty Bad...after I Rode 3 Other Rrs The Same Day With All Shitty Feel To The Brakes.

Wtf ?

Im Thinking Braided Brake Lines New Fluid And Pads ...it Will Definatly Make A Change ...

Anybody Else Think They R ****.....

What Did You Do To Make Em Better ?

replace rotor, new Honda OEM pads, change fluids. If you're gonna be in a lot, 90% of you game will involve the back brake, treat yourself to something good. Crap rears sux.

I'm in the same boat, Just got an RR and the damn thing is horrible. Gonna try some pads and fluid change. You shouldn't need lines!

Just how 900 rear brakes are. Every one I have ridden has been like that. Way less bite and feel than the gixxer your used to. Seems like you really have to stand on it when your way back.

Honda OEM pads are $$ but worth it! Those EBC suck, they take WAY to long to heat up and then fade out after a short period. Learned my lesson.

Re: 900 Rr Rear Brakes Suck !?

Im Thinking It Has Alot To Do With The Caliper They Have Used On The Rr Also...

Im Sure All The Upgrades In Pads N Fluid Make It Better.....
But.......

Im Sure It Proably Wont Be The Same Crazy Grab Power That The Gsxr Has ...
Anybody Ever Upgrade The Caliper ?

Or Does Anybody Know What Size Piston Is In There Compared To The Gsxr ?

Im Definatly Going With The Braided Lines Too.

Ill Post Up How It All Works Out For Me Once Its Done.

The fix for feel with any type of pads. Go cast iron, we ave em here round $140.00. Rust looks like **** but they stik like ****.

You just can't compare gsxr 1000 brakes to a 900 rr brakes. That's like comparing dvd to beta.

Re: 900 Rr Rear Brakes Suck !?

All Righty......

Bled The Brakes And Scuffed The Rotors Lightly With A Sanding Block..

Then Cleaned Everything With Brake Cleaner....

I Think I Might Be A Lil Better But Still Nothing To Brag About...

Gonna Order The Braided Lines And Some New Oem Pads.
