    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Bandit uses the 4 pot Nissin calipers. They move nice and freely.
Check this link showing a Kawa using the Bandit caliper to replace his 6 pot stock caliper.

Yeah there's an ever long debate on the ZRX forum on ditching the 6pot for the Nissin 4pot. Some say they have better lever feel with decreased initial bite. Supposedly more linier feel or whatever. Personally, while I've never been able to compare the two back to back, I like a good hard bite, and if the system is bled and you've no water in your fluid, the lever feel on the 6 pots doesn't seem at all odd or notchy. I'd take either one compared to what mos of my GSes have felt like though ;)
 
ive got one, 4 pot tokico caliper from a kawasaki zx9r on a kagazumi non floating disc. brake feel and strength is amazing. i can do stoppies with ease
 
One thing i find somewhat amusing:
A lot of us try and do things to upgrade our GSes where we feel they were lacking. I bought a newer bike to accomplish the same thing and I find it, compared to what I've been used to, more than adequate in the departments where i felt my GSes had some things I'd wish were better. Then I see the very same things I though lacked on my GSes, and are outstanding on my Rex, are the same things the guys on the ZRX board end up modding to be better. I've decided that, for motorcyclists, nothing is ever good enough ;)
