Big Bob Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hi folks A question for you that I've asked elsewhere, I want to fit R1 blue spot front brake calipers to my FJ1200, a fairly standard mod. The question is, are Fazer/R6 front calipers the same as R1, I know they look the same but do they give the same improvement in efficiency? Seen a set on ebay cheaper than R1. Thanks, Big Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldinr Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Bob, They Fazer thou uses the same engine as the R1 only it is de-tuned. I suggest ringing you local Yam dealer and ask them if the part no's are the same. As you know differnet model bikes use common parts as I found on my Yzf750 and the XJR1300sp when I owned one!

Big Bob Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 I got a set of R6 calipers off ebay £33.20, fitted them & a big improvement over the standard ones. Next question, has anyone tried Armstrong pads, seen them on ebay, any good? Thanks again Big Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
