Hi Guys, Just looking to get some info on improving the brakes on my 09 blade. Can someone tell me the different Brembo RCS available? and which would be best to get? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BREMBO-RC...TABLE-RATIO-/380396105551?hash=item58915fef4f also noticed there are others like 18mm? is cheaper? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/POMPA-RAD...0993944&pid=100033&rk=1&rkt=4&sd=331610594165 Also do i need a reservoir to go with this? Thanks
Unless I'm mistaken, those two links are the same brake at two very different prices. It's got a 19mm piston, then switchable ratio from 18mm to 20mm. One gives more travel and feel, the other is sharper and more immediate. The cheaper ones you've seen don't have the switchable ratio. The RCS 19 is great as well because it has a proper brake light switch so no messing with pressure banjos. That's a storming price from Omnia Racing, that's where I got mine. I'd deffo go for that one.
Oh and you can reuse your reservoir pot....but not the little holder arm (technical term!) so you may as well get the whole reservoir kit
This Italian shop seems to be selling the 19 RCS for £180.....that's amazing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BREMBO-RC...c09a102&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=380396105551 Sorry for taking over your thread by the way!!
you can have brembo in an 18 ratio, 20 ratio. They are two different master cylinders and is down to the user and what they like the feel of. an RCS has an adjuster that basically means you have 18/19/20 ratio so you can change it to suit how you like. IIRC if you get and 18 or 20 it doesnt always include a brakelight switch, an RCS does. Ive always bought an RCS for my bikes in the past
Thanks guys, so are all 3 ebay links above for the same thing? All really @ £200 delivered. What reservoir kit should I get and how much would it set me back?
I bought the genuine Brembo on, it's a lot nicer and the pipe size is the same unlike the standard blade on the pipe outlet is way too big!!!
I've been using the accossato master cylinder all year and can't fault it. Great piece of kit! You can get a bit of forum discount as well from Bikers discount store on here.
Also near the same price as the brembo http://www.bikersdiscountstore.co.u...s2-adjustable-brake-master-cylinder-pd-21.php Actually £50 cheaper on eBay. .new from Italy...
Am I right in thinking that I've read somewhere you have to use a banjo bolt with a different thread pitch than the original?
