i was just wondering how everyone likes their rear brakes on the ltr450s. i know when the 04-05 yfz's came out alot of ppl complained about the rear brakes untill yamaha upgraded to a dual piston caliper in 06. Ive never heard anything bad about the suzuki rear brakes... do they just work that good even tho they are a single piston design like the old yfz's?

hm, i only got half a season on my LTR last year and that's the one small thing i didn't like about it was the seemingly weak rear brake. i ran a wave rotor on my 400ex with cheap pads and that seemed to grab more than the LTR.

ye thats interesting to hear. im surprised no one makes a dual piston conversion or something. i ges since the ltrs have a reliable chassis design no one has complained about the rear brakes to much lol
