2000 315 Best Way To Improve Front Brake ?

Featured Replies

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 ?

It should fit because it's the same caliper that's on the 315R made after 2001.

Don't know if the master cylinder also changed after 2001...

As b40rt says, try this first before spending,,, great little trick
