Why would it not work just the same on 6 pots?

because there are more pistons to move, 6 pistons vs 4 pistons, i found that the standard mc on the 636 was always a lil soft on the 6pots vs when i used to have a stock mc on 4pots on the SV

try it, nothing to loose and if you dont like it you can allways fit the MC to your SV or sell it again for the same money as you bought it.

It will, just you may get more lever travel. Are your calipers same as 'busa?

For those same MC has been found to work, lots of TLR people swap from those to 4 pots without incident. This says to me they are similar.

(It is possible that the 6 pots have smaller pistons, meaning the difference in area is not so great)

Morning Stu, TSM and Yorkie!!

I've had these on the Tokico 6 pots and to be honest - I think they are better suited to 4 pots!

On 4pot radial or axial these work best.

For an upgrade master cylinder for the 6pots - your best off with a brembo race MC - probably a 19x20,

But like TSM said, you could always buy and try...

P.s. - the 6 pots do have smaller pistons... (at least two different sizes in the same half of the caliper!

If Stu doesn't have it, I will - for my K4 GSXR tokico four pots.

There are diffrent models of 6pots on the ZX6, my 636 had differential pistons but i think the ones pre did not.
