Your bike is looking good Jompy has more idea than me when it comes to torque settings, and that's saying something

Thats what i thought hence using my old fashioned and trusted wayKylezx7r wrote:30% less????
Jesus no way would I trust that. My info just relates to titanium bolts in general not bike disc bolts but no way would I be going 30% less. That makes it 12Nm almost finger right

Re: Newbie to this :) 4c8 rider
If I get the solo seat in carbon that will be the last bit I think it might even it out a little more as there is a lot at the front thanks for the kind comments tho

Re: Newbie to this :) 4c8 rider
The 6 pots are designed so 310mm disks could be used on the 4c8, fitting larger disks will ruin one of the advantages that Yamaha designed into the bike. But its your bike and your choiceBenji-still wrote:Got 320mm brembo discs going on when I get the tyres fitted to my new wheels

Re: Newbie to this :) 4c8 rider
Surely it will be better braking with the slightly bigger floating discs I'll be Upgrading the master cylinder in the summer as well

Re: Newbie to this :) 4c8 rider
That's not the point of the 6 pots and 310mm disks, its all to do with the way the bike turns with the weight focused more towards the hub rather than the rim.Benji-still wrote:Surely it will be better braking with the slightly bigger floating discs I'll be Upgrading the master cylinder in the summer as well

Re: Newbie to this :) 4c8 rider
Smaller diameter rotors = less rotating mass = quicker turn in and less force required on the bars to turn. Must be along them lines will that extra 10mm effect it that much this is only a road bike not track

Re: Newbie to this :) 4c8 rider
Not saying that at all, improving the brakes is a good thing (Mater cylinder, lines pads and even upgraded 310 rotas), but you won't get all of the advantages the BST's offer with larger diameter disks. I am sure it will be just fine, I am really carrying on from what Stug askedBenji-still wrote:So your telling me I've messed up my front brake system then lol these discs are going on with the bst wheels

Re: Newbie to this :) 4c8 rider
I am sure they will be ok as well, You will notice the weight difference with the 6 pots sitting further out though

Re: Newbie to this :) 4c8 rider
Sorry, didnt mean to cause an argument.
I saw that you had carbon wheels and thought that maybe you had forgotten to remove the spacers which would mean your pads would be hanging off the edge of the disk.
