EBC oversized front rotor, $135 from rocky mountain mc.
I was looking to relieve arm pump in my brake/throttle arm and by a recomendation from this site, I went with the oversized rotor. The kit included the rotor and the caliper bracket.
Installation was simple and took about 30 minutes. Take the front tire off, take the old rotor off, new rotor on. Then just mount the new caliper bracket and your ready to go.
I broke in the rotor with some new pads in the power lines behind my house and after about 10 minutes, it felt like the pads were bedded in. Braking effort is GREATLY reduced. Using my hand-o-meter I would say that I needed about half as much effort for the same braking results. I was doing a couple runs of 5th gear WFO then slamming the brakes and it was easy to modulate braking. I locked up the front tire a couple times but not anymore then I did with the old rotor, just now with less effort. Stoppies, no problem.
So I put it to the real test at my race this weekend. Normally, my throttle/brake arm pumps up alot more then my clutch arm in a race. At the end of all of my motos, my braking arm was as realxed as my clutch arm which is a huge improvement for me. During the last laps of my motos, I was still able to charge deep into corners where before, I would be coasting alot more.
Now that I have an oversized rotor, I don't know how I did without one for so long. Definatly worth the money and has helped me greatly in reducing arm pump in that arm for me. :cool:
