I've got a sv650s with gsxr front end and six pot calipiers with braided lines but brake has long travel so could someone advise on what size brake master cylinder is fitted on the gsxr.

cheers Jon

Sure it's not just air in the system?

If the pistons are not clean, the dust seals will drag and pull the pistons too far back into the caliper.

Is the lever hard once it has taken up excess travel?

Which 6 pots are you using? The 'busa ones or GSXR1000 ones?

No air in system and seeing as same size cylinder I think I will overall calipiers with new seal kits.

thanks for all your help Jon

Keep the seals, just try strip, clean and reassemble with some rubber grease.

cheers Jon

GSXR750 96-99/'busa/'TLR/ZX6R

GSXR1000K1-K2 #not certain match# but that shows the different shape with the bottom mount much closer in to the pistons and not having the triangular profile.
