S2R 800 Single disc? - Page 2

28-06-2018, 10:00 AM

What's the easiest way to order the correct lines? M620 Single disc ones and ask for a radial banjo at the top? I assume they come with all the bits to fit?

Also which discs should I get?

The most expensive thing seems to be the radial MC. I don't know of any secondhand ones so it's the RCS at £220 plus the reservoir and bits

Last time when I went for the gold line swap I think I went ebc discs, standard MC and a brake line kit for an S4 or something

For brake lines you could give Venhill a ring for advice. They're very knowledgeable and helpful. https://www.venhill.co.uk/

Brembo recommend the RCS15 for a single-disc setup running a four-piston caliper. The m/c kit should come with a pressure switch for the brake light, so that'll be one less thing to buy!

For the disc, I recently fitted a Brembo Serie Oro, which is better spec (and lighter) than stock and a bit below the fully floating race disc.

When shopping around for Brembo parts, try Simon at WSC performance; he gave me a really good deal on my discs and pads.

The quick answer is "yes!".

To make it easier for you, you'd need an RCS14 clutch master (assuming your current one is a PS13 - 13mm).

Note that there's also an RCS14 brake m/c for the right hand bar so, if you order, make sure you get the right (i.e. left!) one.

Haha two MC's for a single disc would be new!

It has been done! Think Motogp rear brakes with thumb and foot levers. (Sorry - nerd alert!

Do the 749/999 calipers require different offset rotors?

Anyone? So I know which disc to order (Brembo serie Oro)

No.

320 mm rotor. "10 mm offset" (it's not actually 10 mm, but it's universally called that)

Same as for an S2R1000, 996, SS and quite a few others.

A straight swop 300mm Brembo is 78B40850 but, if you're upgrading to 320mm plus caliper, you'll need a 78B40870.

These discs are around £160 each from Carpimoto in Italy but try Simon at WSC performance; he gave me a really good deal on my discs and pads.

Awesome thanks guys!

78B40870 is 159 euros from Carpimoto. Accumulating parts bit by bit, eventually I'll be able to put the puzzle together haha

You're not that far from a full floating rotor....... which is dramatically much better.
