2000 315 Best Way To Improve Front Brake ?

Recommended Posts

have had a trusty 315 for 11 years now, great bike but the front brake is very average. This was made very apparent when my son got a 125 Sherco on which the brakes are outstanding.

Have just fitted new EBC pads which made no difference.

Any tricks ?

Caliper ?

Master cylinder ?

anything else ?

Cheaper the better of course as its only an old girl I play on occasionally.

thanks

Do the pistons slide easely in the caliper? Are they not stuck from dirt build-up?

Another option is a master cylinder with a smaller diameter plunjer. (if that exists)

Also, but not cheap: http://www.splatshop...ng-caliper.html

Back to galfer pads maybe...

contacted splat about that caliper, it is not available at the minute

they were helpful and recommended http://www.splatshop.co.uk/ajp-4-pot-calliper-assy.html

its not mad money as long as it fits straight on and gives a sharper brake

has anyone tried this on a 315 ?
