• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Front brake master cylinder

These bikes have the Brembo master cylinder. I hate it. My KTM had a similar master cylinder and that one was also terrible. Feels like stirring cake icing with a plastic spoon.

Has anyone tried replacing with something else like a Nissin Radial? I did that to my KTM but it didn't have ABS. That's my main concern is how the ABS is going to take to a new m/cyl.

In my mind it wouldn't affect it. The ABS ECU shouldn't care what the pressure comes from. Right?

Right!
Something like this should work

It'll have to be a 16mm bore for a single disc.
Let us know what you find...I've started to get tired of that weeping front master cylinder :mad: and if 60 bux is gonna fix it, I won't be farting around with any dealers and warranty garbage.

Might need a different banjo bolt, too...a lot of the Jap bikes run 10x1.25mm threads instead of the Brembo 10x1mm. Lets just hope no brake-line extension is needed, I'm maxed out with the higher ATV bars/ or anyone with risers.
 
Im curious as I might not have as much experience about the front brake master cylinder being mush. I have no problems very tight. I Have bleed and replaced fluid every 6 months as I do in the rear. Maybe this is the reason? I am with glitch the weeping sucks. Although I just wipe it off every weekend when I do a once over. I ride it 60-80 miles a day mon-fri.
