Let's start with the calipers...Why the
upgrade?
Over the years, braking technology has advanced far
in excess of the caperbilities of OEM. Aided by the
improvement in pad material, less unsprung weight (approx
1 kg less compared to a pair of std 6 pots!!), seriously
increased one finger stopping power for those seat of
the pants moments; when you think you've over cooked
it for that pending tight corner, then you're onto a
winner. These brakes are a direct replacement and even
bolt straight on if you have the FZR-R model.

Warped brake rotors are one of the Exup's
shortfalls. Afterall, compared to modern bikes weight,
they've got a fair task on their hands stopping the
aging beasts. Discs are expensive to replace, making
them a bit of a rarity in the second hand market. To
that end, we've collected a list of compatible rotors
that are interchangable from other manufacturers and
models. It'll save you time cross referencing all the
codes but not hours searching Ebay and the likes! |

No use upgrading the calipers without
the Master Cylinder! Standard M/C's will cope with upgraded
calipers but leave a wooden feel as though there's air
in the system. If you're after that killer one fingered
stopping power for the front end, you'll need to go
all the way and splash the cash. We'll tell you how
it is! |

Inside the caliper...Wish to strip the caliper
to have the main casting chromed or polished, maybe the
spots reanodized a different colour? Here we show how
it's assembled and where to get the seals for reassembly
that aren't in the Yamaha parts catalogue! |

Want the latest blue spot on the rear
to match the front?....no problem! Check out what our
members had to overcome to achive a matched pair. They'll
advise on the necessary work and what parts to buy.
