Front Brake Rotor and Caliper Upgrades

[naveed]

I am upgrading master cylinder, brake lines, and brake pads. I was wondering if aftermarket front brake rotor, e.g., Galfer rotor, would further improve braking performance over 320mm stock rotor. I am using the bike only for the track and the stock front brake really sucks.

Are there any aftermarket calipers for RC 390 to replace the stock caliper? If so, would upgrading caliper make any difference?

No aftermarket Caliper apart from Frando. Some opt for a 690 Duke Caliper with a 100mm bracket.

There are various Master Cylinders available from Brembo RCS, Accossato, Maguira, Yamaha R6 even AP Lockheed if your flush with the cash.

Best options are Brake Lines (bypassing ABS), decent fluid, decent pads e.g EBC and the disc conversion 320mm.

I’ve done lines and pads and it’s fine personally, if you look at the WSS 300 bikes they run the larger disc, new lines, no abs and better pads but stick with the stock master and Caliper.
