Hello All,

This is my first post, and my first Yamaha!

What’s happened is the f/r/h/s disc has started to warp and I have been looking to replace this part.

However, along the way I have stumbled across sites where owners have converted to R1 discs and calipers...

Is this easy conversion and is it actually worth doing?

Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks

Moosa

Hi Moosa

You cant fit R1 Disks, unless you fit R1 forks. You can fit R1, Fazer blue,gold & silver pot calipers they are a straight swap if you have a 3CV/3XW if you have a 1TX model you are out of luck.

You will also need to change the brake master cylinder to a later version Fazer/XJR/FJR as with the standard the brakes will feel very wooden.

Look here http://www.fjfjrbiker.co.uk/index.php

If you join the owners club there are some good discounts.

Adam.

Hello Adam,

Thanks for your reply.

I have just got my hands on some EBC disks so will have something to do now over the weekend.

I will join the FJ club when I get home as I think it will be handy as I have a bit of work to do on her...

Thanks again

Ryan
