Sheepdog-07 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Looking to replace my OEM front and rear break lines on my 2018 MT07. The front breaks seem like they are getting a little squishy. Looking for recommendation on what you have or have luck with. Wanting to go with stainless steel. Also look for suggestions on break pads and even master cylinder. Thanks.

Just make sure to bleed your brakes often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Hausknecht Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 If you want an inexpensive master cylinder upgrade, I suggest the R6 master cylinder (made by Brembo, FWIW). Adjustable reach and remote reservoir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted January 12, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2022 I also have the Spiegler braided stainless lines and EBC HH brake pads. I am very happy with the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, which R6, and are you talking about the front or rear master cylinder, or both? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxer Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Spiegler is good stuff. I have the Galfer kit that mimics OEM routing (ya the over the fender crossover.). Done dual lines & / or splitters before but tired of hodge podging little clamps & zip ties. Just wanted a kit that fits like OEM & it does.

More initial bite and less lever movement, but higher effort than stock. I prefer the "feel" compared to the stock MC when braking hard on the race track. I haven't determined all of the R6 years with the same front master cylinder but at least 2006-2010. I've read, but can't confirm (too lazy to compare part numbers) , that the same front MC has been used since '05. I don't use the rear brake much so I've retained the stock MC in the rear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civiltechyyc Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Just like all the others said. EBC HH pads front and back Speigler SS lines. The install is a pain in the arse. At least for me. I’m fairly competent for a at home mechanic but routing the lines and getting it perfect took 6 hours. Its an expensive endeavour but it’s also about safety. If you’re going to keep your FZ07 for a while it’s worthwhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetscience Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 For those who bypassed the ABS module, anyone run the Spiegler alternating 2-line setup instead of over-the-fender? I want to go this route in the future, but want to know what the cons are if any. For sure it'll make bleeding easier/faster because it is the most direct route to the master for any air bubbles to escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
