So having made the mistake of buying a pair of Kawasaki 6 pot calipers, can you guys confirm all Suzuki 6 pot fit the RGV forks??
Thanks, Phil

Got 6 pots on one of my hybrids,look good,stop good.
No problem at all.
Biggest problem with tokico 6 pots is pistons sticking due to corrosion,but unlikely you going to be riding through winter on salted roads👍

Swopped the 6pots for 4pots on my track gixxer.
The smaller the pistons the more they stick on the seal. Happier with the 4pots from srad600

Always thought a bit OTT for the super light weight Elsies !

Yes 6 pots are OTT but they do look the part... I read a lot about the RGV 4 pot items feeling a bit "wooden" I'm still undecided but soon need to do something.

Hi Phil I was told today The Kawasaki and Suzuki ones are the same if they have the 27mm & 24mm pots... Don't do what i did and bin the pistons as they were a bit crappy full rebuild kit had just cost me £180!!  IMG_0631 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr |

Care ... It's not Brakes that stop you.. rather it's the tires gripping the road.
Recently had some t**t with earbuds in, run out between parked cars.
Riding My 600rr (near new Pirelli Diablo Corsas) ~ 60kph
Did a stoppy and even laid long black streaks on the road.
Damn near gave me religion.
Didn't drop the bike though.
t**t carried on Jogging.. not even aware of how close she came to dying.. or worse.
Good brakes certainly but Really Good tires.. with previous Bridgestones it would have been ugly for all concerned.

I played with a few masters (now using an R1 Brembo radial) and also different lines. I use the OEM 'busa lowers and the top line is a braided one from a Triumph I think. Has lots of feel and not too harsh. 1 finger braking tho for sure. Grab a handful without thinking and you'll lock the front. Is it too much... sure, but as bare says there is more to braking, that also includes tyres and the rider.

Phil As said above if they have 90mm hole spacing and the pistons are 27mm and 24mm then there the same, The guy i bought my repair kit off told me this. if there the version with all the pistons the same he said they were different. |
