what rear brake fits the sv? - SV650.org

17-08-06, 01:10 PM

after having my rear brake apart yesterday to do a routine clean up i have been out on my bike a couple of times, both times my mind has been on what the rear brake is doing, now I have realised just how much i use it over the front brake.

this has got me thinking that because I use the rear so much if I should get some thing a little bit better on the there so I was wondering what callipers will fit on the sv that will increase the braking performance, i have been told that one from a TL1000 will fit? will this do the job or have I been told wrong again?

Believe SRAD are a straight fit, Northwind or TSM will be along soon who will tell you for sure!

Presumably this is for a curvy?

SRAD, Hayabusa, TL and mabey a couple others.

Yup,,, None of 'em upgrades, just exact matches, AP Racing do a 4-pot rear that'll bolt right on with a bigger disc, but that'd be a little nuts I suspect- the SV rear's pretty strong

The rear brake on the curvey is one of the best out there, far better than some you'll find on so-called "sports bikes". I doubt very much whether you'll improve on its performance.

If youve noticed, some of the top line sports bikes actualy have smaller rear disks and some dont have twin opposing pistion calipers.

SRAD? GSXR?

So any of these models share the same brake setup? (Just so i can nose on ebay if theres no SV ones about?)

Yes, I remember reading a road test on a Tuono, and they said the rear brake hardly worked. Not the only bike where the rear is virtually over-looked as "sports-riders" don't use the back brake

When people say SRAD its usaly assumed that its a GSXR SRAD, but SRAD is a name given to most Suzuki's that have Ram Air ability on the engine. So realy the TL is also a SRAD.

Yes to your question.

Well on my recent DAS we were taught 75% front brake for heavy braking or even 100% on a modern bike, i.e perhaps lay off the back brake a bit? I'm a total novice so tell me to get lost if you like!
