Benny_kx450f Posted November 3, 2015 Looking to upgrade my front and rear brakes any recommendations? On which brand to go with ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slaughter612 Posted November 6, 2015 I did the same upgrade. I was on a budget at the time but I went with rocky mtn atv tusk oversized rotor kit. It works great and I would recommend it. Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarioThePlumber My Rides (3) Posted November 6, 2015 A few people have swapped Honda Calipers and master cylinders and noticed a significant difference while still using the stock rotor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyal426 Posted November 6, 2015 Swapping the Honda stuff over is mostly psychological. Flushing the brake fluid and putting in quality dot4 fluid will yield the most gains. Tusk makes an oversized rotor that is the most bang for the buck. If you have an 07 and the fluid has never been flushed, it is full of breakdown, condensation and sadness. Freshen it up every sp often especially if you ride in wet climates. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troy1160 Posted November 7, 2015 EBC oversized rotor,some difference,87 CR master and 87 oem honda pads,HUGE. All together,awesome 1 finger stopping with 1/2 inch of lever movement.Fluid makes no difference in brake power or feel,it is the size of the master piston/leverage ratio,rotor size and pad softness.

crazyal426 Posted November 7, 2015 Troy, hope u were talking about 07 Cr stuff not 87. What u said is correct, assuming you don't have 8 year old fluid in your system. EBC is good but spendy. The Tusk oversized rotor is a great product and easier on the wallet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
