Strange....I've raced my K3 for a year now using stock master cylinder. I have EBC discs and race pads and I find the front brakes are superb. I certainly dont need any more braking force than I'm getting.
The mod that truly made the most effective change to the braking was valving the front forks along with stronger springs and heavier oil. |

This will be my third season on the SV and I want a better feel and a little more perfoemance. Stock Master cylinder has done its job up to now, but I intend to take in a few rounds of the Irish junior support championship on the roads and that is all about who is good on the brakes, esp when you are up against 400 4 strokes n 250 2 strokes.

For me it's all nothing to do with power, this, as you say stock has lots of power, but a good m/c suited to your own preferences makes it easier to put it on the road.
