Hudders Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hi all............noob member here !! Just bought the above on a '91 reg. It's got seized front calipers. Now i've been told that the original calipers left a lot to be desired. SO: 1. Is this a rubbish statement? 2. If it's fairly accurate............can i swap them for a 6 pot pair from another bike? Don't want any soddin' about with spacers or adaptors etc. Just a 'unbolt the old.........bolt on the new' fix is what i'm after. Thanks guys !!

pilninggas Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 if you fit any of the 'blue-spot' 'gold spot' type calipers from R1, R6, thunderace, thundercat, fazer etc, make sure you fit an R1,R6 master cylinder, without it the FZR1000 will have brakes so wooden you will swear that the front end has been replaces with sheathing ply! also check the run of the pads on the disk, you may have to file a little off of the lower edges of the pads.
