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

Never used a torque wrench on mine, as a few of the guys mentioned, thread lock and nip up

Do I get my single seat in carbon is the next question I can't decide ? If it will look ok or sh!t

looks mint m8 i would leave as is or carbons gonna overtake blue as primary colour

ride as much & often as ya can

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

Whats the gold spacers between your calipers and fork legs for?

Got 320mm brembo discs going on when I get the tyres fitted to my new wheels

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 choice

Surely it will be better braking with the slightly bigger floating discs I'll be Upgrading the master cylinder in the summer as well

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.

So your telling me I've messed up my front brake system then lol these discs are going on with the bst wheels

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

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 asked

I'm sure all will be just fine for a road bike for me will have the bst the 320mm floating discs good set of front pads all ready braided lines m/c done in the summer an then a nice new caliper on the rear soon thank you for the input tho

I will take that as a polite fook off then

No it's fine the 320mm have there advantages over the 310 I'm sure I won't even notice much difference lol be like learning to ride a different bike once I get back on it with all this new stuff going on anyway lol

I am sure they will be ok as well, You will notice the weight difference with the 6 pots sitting further out though

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.

argument ? where ?

Mate I've told PJC to fook off in loads of different ways and he never does so don't hold back
