[QUOTE="marcusgunby, post: 692528, member: 17066"] I think its a bit of a mystery, as the pre 03 KX front brake uses a CR type caliper and the CR had firm brakes.Maybe its more the mounts on the fork legs??Maybe the pre 03 KX and YZ are just badly bleed from new? i know KTMs seem to suffer from this problem, some have massive stopping power and others have almost no brakes at all. On the master cylinder sizing, dont forget its also important the leverage ratio placed by the lever-maybe the YZ setup doesnt have the leverage a CR or KX one has.The YZ i have rode had a reasonable brake(for power and firm feeling lever) but didnt have the progressive power i like, they work ok as you initially pull the lever, then you pull harder and you get a sudden lock up.
