Front brake

Crap brakes make the bike in my opinion
I have far more fun on the 750 then I do my Triumph at half the speed.

Morning Guys- thanks for all that- Ive never seen a modded front set-up caliper. I know the delivery pressure is poor on the 400/4 and in my case, the pads are never 100% in contact with the disk.When I had a Daytona (03) the Dealer said the brake was always going to be poor as the factory had got it wrong- I was used to my 01 R1 (which I still have) and that stopped at breakneck rates. I better stoke the old girl up and give her a run- as I said, Ive not ridden her for a while..but shes not going anywhere and prefers a warm garage, Im sure. One thing I did do was fit an AGM battery to it- stays charged for months/years. Daily hack is a BMW GSA and as is said, modern bikes/tires and screens...

Compared to what else was about in the day the 750/500 front disc was incredibly good but things have gone on from there

If the caliper and seal groove are clean, outside of the pad clean so it slides in the caliper easily, no piston pits, super free pivot and a rebuilt master you should be able to squeal the front tyre in the dry if you try REALLY hard which means it would lock in the wet and that delivers lots of oooh nasties
