brake upgrade
brake upgrade
I hadn't ridden the beast in a few weeks as ive been riding the MT07 and my 1299
Two things are immediately noticeable when getting back on the H2
1) Good lord its a beast of a motor, so smooth and effortless to make jail term speeds
2) the bike could use more brakes
I understand the physics behind a heavy bike and lots of power taking more stopping time and you quickly adjust and get used to it but I was wondering if anyone has done any pad changes they felt helped or any other brake improvements
Thanks

Re: brake upgrade
I've used Double H pads on other bikes and they do improve performance... but they are pretty harsh on rotors.

Re: brake upgrade
I did upgraded pads, that helped a good bit. Also installed Brembo master cylinder, that helped a lot as well. At the end of the day though, remember this is a heavy bike, she's not going to stop as fast as a supersport bike, but you can make it better.

Re: brake upgrade
Does anyone know if the H2 or SE+ calipers and rotors will bolt up to to the SE? All part numbers are different but just wondering. Putting Brembos on the front would definitely help!

Re: brake upgrade
Installed the double HH pads in my 2018 last year and it made a big difference. No on 2019 SX SE + so have Brembos as standard which are a little better.vcyclenut wrote: Wed Aug 21, 2019 6:55 pm I hadn't ridden the beast in a few weeks as ive been riding the MT07 and my 1299

Re: brake upgrade
Where are you guys ordering double h pads from? Having a hard time finding ones specifically for the sx/se.

Re: brake upgrade
Bought mine from the EBC Brake shop but unfortunately looks like they only deliver to EU
