Improving the rear brake. - SV650.org

06-06-06, 12:36 PM

Okay, the components you can upgrade on the front brakes to improve braking are:
Discs
Pads
Calipers
Lines
Master Cylinder
Lever
Fluid pot

But for the rear it seems it's only:
Disc
Pads
Caliper
Line
Lever/Rearsets
Fluid pot

Are all rear master cylinders basically the same, or can you actually upgrade this component as well?

Cheers.

Why would you want to upgrade the rear brake ?

even without the braided lines & HH pads - I locked it up so easily.

little need improving the rear brake, rarely used.

Is this a rhetorical question or do you want to upgrade??? As others have said, the stock setup is actually pretty awesome!!!

If you feel it isn’t 'enough', this might suggest you have a problem with your current system and need to overhaul it?!?
