You can see it on the front more than the rear but both are down to their wear marker on the left side of the bike and not on the right side. These tires were “new” when I got the bike. Probably had 500-1k or so. I’ve put 3k on them myself so they are close to the end of life anyway. Any recommendations for new tires appreciated.
It’s a 2018 gsxs 750 with Diablo rosso 3 on the front and rear.
Hello,
I’ve been riding my GSX-R750 for about a year, and the front brakes have always felt weak. They’ve been usable on the street, but never what I’d consider good.
So far I’ve:
Swapped the calipers with another GSX-R750
Rebuilt the master cylinder
Installed braided brake lines
Had the master cylinder recall performed
The recall helped a little, but the braking performance is still far from where it should be.
I recently took the bike to a track day, and it failed tech inspection because of the brakes. I’m planning to get back on track in a couple of weeks and am looking at my options.
Before I spend around $400 on a Brembo master cylinder, I’d like to know if anyone has successfully done a direct bolt-on swap of both the master cylinder and calipers from a newer GSX-R model. I’m trying to determine whether there’s a more cost-effective OEM upgrade path before throwing money at a Brembo setup when the master cylinder may not even be the root cause.
Any suggestions or experience would be appreciated.
