Question: what's not fast enough for you? There was an article comparing the 03 RR vs F4i. Under testing, the F4i went from 70 to 0 in 3.64 sec, stopping within 50.81 meters. The RR barely nudged it out with 3.29 sec within 47.30 meters.

Chances are

1. You're not near the F4i's full braking potential
2. Your braking system is in need of maintenance

 

First off, Aken always beat me to it, and says all the same things.

But the SS lines won't be practical for just easy city use. Especially since it sounds like you're taking it easy. Now I've done my fair share of blasting around, and I can't even use the throttle to it's full potential let alone the brakes. I just feel like I'll scrub too much speed going hard.

I've been on my brakes hard, and I had a feeling I wasn't having kids after. If I want to stop, I'll stop. This being said, Kuro has a point, that there may be a leak, something may be wrong, etc.

I'd replace the pads (EBC is great!) and then let us know.

 

13k in 3rd gear is more like 115, not 70

 

How so? Theres no reason they wouldn't be practical that I can think of. They don't change anything expect not allowing the hose to expand under pressure.

Noober- when you get into street/freeway riding you can meet up with me at the pavs or something and we can take a look at your bike.

 

forget all this non sense just go to r1 forks and triples and calipers and all the shazaz

 

I'll take you up on that thanks. pm me your email address

 

You still haven't answered what's not fast enough tho.

Most of us can't even come close to the riding abilities of reviewers and professional riders. If there's still skill to be wrung out of your body, why not do that first? Then upgrade the bike for even more performance gain.

Upgrade the rider, then the bike. Any gains you get from upgrading the bike first make a poorer rider, imo. Because now they're using those gains as a crutch instead of maximizing their own potential. It's like riders that depend on ABS brakes.

They're assed out if the system ever fails because they don't know how to brake without them.

 

I agree with you 100% brosif I feel I have answered the question. Whats not fast enough is subjective to my "feel" of stopping! I just figured braided brake lines is a no brainer mod as I still do!

 

Here's a comparison for you:

Ferrari Enzo 70-0: 151 feet
Honda CBR600F4i 70-0: 166.7 feet

The Enzo is currently one of the fastest, best handling, quickest braking production cars available, and the F4i is only losing 15.7 feet to it. Really, nothing should need to be changed about the bike itself unless something is out of maintenance. Just like everything else about riding, braking to the full potential takes a lot of practice. I'm sure the bike has plenty more stopping power than you currently feel like it does. Save your money and hold off on upgrading parts.
