hello all..
just wanted to know if anyone here has done upgrade or are intending to upgrade to Brembos? i am a great big fan of big powerful brakes as this relate directly to safety..
i looked at e Brembo website and so far there are no direct plug and play upgrades for e S10.. however i noticed that mostly e callipers are a standard part and only require e mounting brackets to fit into any given bikes.. they do have upgrade kits for e current yamaha ranges like e R1s and Fazers.. so i'm thinking its just a bracket issue..
anyone has done this can share or any others are thinking of doing this can i solicite your ophinon or suggestions?
thanks

* UPDATE *
Hello all,
After almost 5 years it finally done!!!
i have managed to complete my project of upgrading to brembos for my S10..
here are some details..
Master Cylinder is a Brembo RCS19
Calipers are Brembo GP4RS 108mm (4x30mm pistons) with Z04 Sintered Pads
Brackets are from 98-03 R1/ 06~ FZ1
(*re update- bracket fitment is 99% good with 2mm spacers all round.)
*abs works fine with the brembo MC and brembo calipers.
Fitment is a direct bolt on plug and play.
After bedding in the pads, the stopping power is phenomena.. 1/3 of the effort to brake ( i had the RCS19 fitted a couple of years back already). Very good stopping power from low mid and high speeds. Initial bite is very strong as can be expected from larger pads and high friction material. at speeds of 150km onwards the energy conversion is tremendous -> the speed bleeds off very very quickly but very controllable.
Brake feel is very solid and firm with no mushyness (i believe the master cylinder and calipers are a good fit)
weight wise the calipers feel (i havent weigh them yet) much lighter than the stock ones.
Over all i feel they are a very good investment and upgrade especially if one loads up the bike and go touring or if you have a pillion.. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their brakes on the S10
safe journeys all ))
