R1/R6 Front master Cylinder
Ive tried using the search function but cant seem to find anything on this topic can an r1 master cylinder be used on a curvy, reason i ask is my master is leaking and i have to get an internals kit for it at 20 sheets but ive seen a r1 master on ebay and was wondering if it was a worthwhile mod :confused:

Re: R1/R6 Front master Cylinder
R6 Brembo can indeed be put on a curvy, works a charm in fact. Fairing clearance is really tight on a faired model though, never had it fitted with stock bars but with all my different bars on the GSXR front the m/c only fitted in one position, so no adjustability on angle- or you could restrict the steering lock slightly if you preferred.
You can kind of see what I mean re position in this pic... The m/c has to stick exactly into the recess in the fairing. 19 x 18 is bore and pivot- bore speaks for itself, the bigger it is the more fluid you push. Pivot is a wee bit more complicated, but is all about leverage and lever travel. 19x18 is a fairly middle of the road m/c as performance parts go. Remember though that pushing more fluid isn't neccesarily an advantage- it just means the wheel will lock sooner. you only need to move a few ml of fluid to work the brakes on a bike, having a one litre m/c would still just use the same few ml while the rest would just be a hindrance. So bigger isn't neccesarily bette. The R6 one is 16mm x 18mm if memory serves, while my new one is, I think, 19x18. I like quite a long progressive lever action so the 16mm worked well, the 19x18 is just a bit better with the 4-pots but I never tried it with stock calipers. I've added a pic just because it's dead pretty :) This particular one is off a Rizla suzuki BSB bike 8-) http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...sfromfront.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...r/IMG_0056.jpg |

Re: R1/R6 Front master Cylinder
Not to highjack the thread but the GSXR K6/7 mc looks like it would be a straight swap for the SV one, anyone know if this is the case and if so is the GSXR one any better........
