@rking7888 I would very much doubt it or it would be a common knowledge upgrade ofcourse you can make anything fit with enough time effort and fabrication skills

@calum You would think that having the nipple at the bottom would aid bleeding and reduce the air bubbles, but I guess that gravity plays its part and adds disturbance to the fluid? I suppose that bubbles rise to the top and having the caliper upside down may affect the flow as well? I'm no expert but I'm sure that there's been some study somewhere. If you look at most vehicles running disc brakes, the majority have their location's at the 2-4 o'clock position. I guess that's for maximum performance, it would be interesting to see if you swapped it for a left hand unit, with the bleed nipple at the top, would you get better braking performance and easier bleeding? There's always plenty of Ducati monster calipers on ebay and making a new bracket wouldn't take too long - well worth a shot. 😉

@ninja said in Lever recommendations?:

@spookdog Why would I want to swap?

That’s exactly what I thought! 😜 I blame it on the ambiguity of text. Cheers for the offer but I’m gonna pull the trigger on the Sku’s. I really do need the adjustability to get my clutch into the sweet spot without my fingers falling off. Getting older sucks...

@spookdog thats a good idea tbh, i might try and make up a design and see if i could get a quote on how much it would cost to have one cut compared to 10-15 cut.

@nottsbiker im from portugal, and the dtx forks + hub ( or complete wheel ) are very very expensive

@SpookDog aslong as it doesn't stick out excessively it should be fine but you could always ask when you phone to book it

@SpookDog the cup should be facing the brake pad I've never seen flat side facing the pad although I don't doubt it exists the cup keeps little contact area so it's less likely for corrosion to glue the pad to the piston EDIT- emphasis on the "should"

I thing i test hose clamp before anything

I’ll give it a go can’t go wrong for £14!

@Calum thanks for that info! I have ordered the carrier and caliper 😁 hope it works if not do you think I could just swap carriers?

@jonne123 So just order it, they have them in stock.

What rear brake pads are interchangable with yamaha dt 125r?
