Gotta say the brakes on the GSXS work but they are very wooden. Was going to change pads at somepoint but I'm a skinflint and other things have got in the way :think: :lol:
The Brembos on the front have always been very good. I like the feel and the power. The rear brake feels like it's a mismatch of master cylinder for the caliper,it's never been good,but it's been worse recently. I expected the old fluid to be dirty,but it was still pretty clear,though after 20k it probably was a good idea to change it anyway.

It's raining now,so I haven't been out to check them out.
Late thread reply. :lol:

The new fluid has helped a little,but it'll take more drastic action to make it what I would call good. Serviceable.

The Zed is 4 years old,so went through it's first mot today,all I changed was the reg plate.. :silent:
