Master Cylinder Question gen1_BUSA to '05_ZX6R

[fimpBIKES]

Hi all,


am fitting up my new radial calipers and boughta ZX12R master cylinder and lines

but looking at it i think its pretty similar to the gen1 busa master cylinder i am using
i thought it would be a radial jobbie but its not


anyways, i would like to keep using the extended lines i have now

is there anything i can check to see if my current setup
(busa master cylinder, 02 gsxr1000 calipers) will suit the 05-06 ZX6R radial calipers that i have now?

any measurements i could do with the verniers to confirm that it wont fuck up at 200kph [xx(]

I'm using the master from a 91 model gsxr11 (combined master and res) with 03 gsxr radials without any probs for the last year or so, which has included track days.

Don't stress Fimp, it's a common misconception that you hafta use a radial m/cyl with radial calipers. Lots of production bikes came out with conventional m/c's & radial calipers for the first year or 2 that radials were introduced. A 14mm or 5/8" bore conventional m/cyl is fine for your radials mate, after all, it's only pushing fluid, it doesn't matter whether it's pushing it north - south or east - west, it all ends up compressed the same.

thanks mateys!

yeah, when i saw a normal-looking master cylinder in the post-bag yesterday i was about to send off bad feedback thinking that the guy had ripped me off!

so all i need to do is make sure that the bolts at the caliper ends of the hoses i have now fit alright and she's apples :D
