SJC1000rr Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 After my last track day, I have the suspicion that I may have a bent rotor. The front of the bike shakes under hard braking now. (Did some mega braking down the back stretch to avoid creaming someone) With that said…I have been trying to research for replacements, but wanted to pool the minds here on their suggestions. I was looking at Galfer Wave, ABM and Brembo’s. I am really open to suggestions though, even if it’s to stay with another set of stocks. I am running Carbone Lorraine SBK5 new front pads.ABMhttp://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=199Galferhttp://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=3361Thoughts?

yotaman88210 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Cant really go wrong with Galfers. But they are a little more expensive. But, brakes are kinda important, especially if you are doing track days. Get the good stuff mang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrjess0815 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 What Yota said. You might not be going fast enough now to need super good amazing rotors, but when you do get some more trackdays under your belt and start running those super speeds you'll be happy you bought some upgraded shit fo sho...

RSVDon Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Yeah' date=' put your bike on stands and set up a dial indicator to check the run out on your front rotors. [/quote']+1, it could be uneven pad material on the rotor as well. Make any hard stops and keep the brakes on at some point. Rotors rarely actually warp, check the runout and report back before spending 100s on new rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Drordy Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I would stick with stock. For the price rotors they are the last part of a braking system I would change. Braided linesPadsMaster CylinderCalipersRotorsin that order. You probably won't notice the difference in the rotors like you would with a Brembo master cylinder. But if you have your heart set on some bling, check out oncycles.com to see if they have a set of Alth rotors on closeout for your bike.

Zorro Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I know I need rotors...my left one is slightly bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Yeah, I made an uber hard stop Tuesday on the track to avoid hitting someone at the end of the back straight. After that it was horrendous....video: (yes..the back tire came off the ground)After lunch it wasn't bad and I only noticed it a few minor times. But don't have the confidence in them like I had before this all went down. I have Speigler SS Lines, New Carbone Lorraine SBK5 pads that went on right before I went up. I was also looking at getting a Brembo 19mm RCS Master. Edited July 24, 2009 by SJC1000rr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Ok, should I get wave or straight edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 your call, just depends on which you think look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Ok, should I get wave or straight edge?I dont think it will matter much either way. For the price just get both:) I got the straight because I bought mine for a different year bike (bigger) and that was what was available.

SJC1000rr Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Still looking at these and really can't decide on what to get. I am down to look at these:Galfer Front WaveBraketech AXIS StainlessBrembo HP Front FloatingThoughts or suggestions? I will probably keep doing about 3-5 track days a year and standard street riding.
