Hoblick Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 ok, what goes into determining what master cylinder to use.how do i calculate it, and what outcome should i be looking for.. besides yeah that feels right, when braking.im going form a dual 2 piston caliper, with non floating rotor..to a single 6 piston caliper with floating rotor..and i want master cylinder that will work well with my setup..id like to use something off another bike.. ducati, yamaha, whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mello dude Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 If you want I could crunch a few numbers for you and tell you if your nutz or not. Off the top of my head - your going from 2 rotor to 1, so right off the bat your cutting availiable braking in half and that may be tough to overcome. --- What I would do is take your stocker set numbers and compare to what you want to go to. Its a basic hydraulics problem. - I did the same exercise on my vfr. I would need - stock rotor diameter, stock caliper piston diameters, (are they 2 piston pin slider style or 2 & 2 opposed?) and take a quick measurement on the pivot on the stocker master cylinder. It is usually somewhere around 1/2". Then - new rotor diameter - new caliper piston dia and caliper style, 3 & 3 opposed? I may have missed something but this would get you going. -Cant knock it out today,gotta go to school, but could look at it tomorrow.PM me if you want to trade emails.
