A while back I noticed that my front brake seemed a little squishy and not very powerful. While it would lock the front wheel up, it took more pressure to do that than I could muster with one finger. After riding on a friend's brand new kx450f and feeling how solid the brakes were, I knew that I needed to get my old 1998 yz125 to perform better.
Parts:
Oversized rotor ~$150
new pads (sintered series) ~$30
braided brake line ~$50
Master cylinder rebuild kit (OEM) ~$25
Now, I can easily throw myself off of the bike with one finger on the brake lever :laugh:.
I don't know which part of the of the puzzle made the biggest impact, but altogether my brake feels almost like a brand new bike.
