Mine was pretty good... But then, I had the bike set up to my satisfaction before- simple fork work and the Ohlins rear (though it was very badly set up, if I'm honest). I was happy enough with the brakes- EBC HH pads and braided lines, stock master cylinder. Not great, but I didn't feel they lacked power at all, and I suppose I was just used to the lack of feel (never did get good feel from the SV bits, or progressive power either)

Never had it back since I put the GSXR bits on and sorted the Ohlins, though. Should do a couple of times this year, we'll see how it works.
