[ST] RS Brakes
I think the brakes on my RS suck. I suppose it's all what you are used to.
I had a Triumph Thunderbird with a harrison 6-piston caliper on a single
front disk and it had much more stopping power than my new RS. The
Thunderbird's brakes were closer to a Speed Triple -- a bike I consider
almost perfect in the braking department.
I need a few more fingers to haul down the RS than I am used to. In fact,
when I rode an SV650 yesterday, I applied the same pressure to the lever
that I do on the Sprint and I crushed my nads from the braking force.
Has anyone else noticed this? Has anyone else fixed this? I notice that
the RS has steel-braided lines, but there is a rubber hose that comes out of
the master cylinder to the distributor. Is that rubber hose the reason that
the brakes feel like goosh?
