Hardest bit was getting the reservoir in right place using the bracket ... I basically worked out where the original would be roughly then bent the bracket ... It looks good.
Can you not use the std bracket to hold the reservoir ? Where did you buy the bracket you used ? Cheers
Standard bracket wont fit the RCS as mounts in a different place on RCS compared to the standard mc hence why most buy different brackets with the rcs
So this morning first ride with the RCS19... initial impressions... a nice firm lever, but it feels a little wooden to me ... I'm not sure what setting it is on either ... (default) What setting do people use it on? I suspect new pads and caliper service wouldn't go amiss...
Sound dodgy mr OCD, I cut mine close to the micro switch, then cut off the OE connectors and hardwired mine in by soldering the two joints, 3 bits of heat shrink, 2 for the wires and then a larger piece to go over the top, factory finish
I want to be able to put the brake back to OE when I sell the bike, hence use the existing spade connectors otherwise like you I would solder / hard wire... I'll fit the spade connectors then heat shrink the whole thing for factory look.
I've just kept my OE spades so can just revert back if I ever remove, As for the wooden feeling at the lever you can change the ratio on the adjuster cam under the rubber cap that should give you a better feeling. Default will be on 19x20, just be sure to wind the span adjuster so it's fully in to the bar before you make the adjustment.
A good idea, but the OE spades are pretty close to the clip-on so access is tight for soldering? (I will have another look tonight actually as I would prefer to solder) I thought 18x20 is more aggressive / less feel?
The RCS system consists of an adjuster that sets the brake lever pivot distance to either 18 or 20 mm, for the perfect feedback between rider and machine: setting the pivot distance to 20 mm makes the braking system more reactive and immediate, while a pivot distance of 18 mm makes it more precisely controllable. Changing between the two settings is extremely quick: simply adjust the master cylinder pivot distance by turning the adjuster on the front of the guide lever with cam mechanism by 180° using a screwdriver (red indicates 18 mm, black indicates 20 mm). This changes braking power distribution without modifying the pure power of the system itself. The piston, gaskets and push rod of RCS master cylinders are exactly the same components as those in the master cylinders used by practically all MotoGP and SBK riders, and are manufactured to extremely fine tolerances and ensure very low friction. The lever consists of two main components: the racing lever guide and the folding, forged lever itself.
