ar22 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 drag he brake until hot, douse with water, repeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 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.co.uk/xblok-billet-racing-caliper.html Back to galfer pads maybe...

guys Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
