Brakes

 

Ok, it’s not really MegaSquirt related, but it *is* Buzz related. He’s gotta be able to stop, too….

I won the auction on a little nicer master cylinder. Ironically, its off an ’03 ZX636, like the throttle bodies I’m using.

My goal was to get a newer cylinder instead of rebuilding the old one again. I will need to see if my caliper will work as is. The issue is one of hydraulic ratios. If the diameter of the master cylinder is too much smaller than the stock cylinder, it may not move the caliper piston enough, although it would move it with great force.

I’d like to replace the brake lines with braided stainless steel lines, but I may *have* to replace the upper line to reach on the new master cylinder. Like many bikes, there is a line from the master cylinder to a manifold of sorts with another line running from there to the caliper.
