So are you tired of that spongey feeling stock Yamaha brake? Since I get to ride all the bikes, I would have to say that the Brembo system is one of the best feeling brakes out of all the MX machines. However, a little mix and matching can get you a more linear feel than an all Brembo systems currently used so we used the “Dubach Brake Method” and combined an older Nissin and Brembo technology together to form the best feeling front brake I have come a-crossed in a while. If you’re looking to get a full system set up, below is the way to do it and some KTM part numbers to help you out! This Nissin caliper system is off of a 2007 YZ450F and the Brembo master cylinder is off of a 2007 KTM 450 SX-F. The reason for the older systems is due to the piston sizes.
Parts Needed:
Current YZ-F brake hose (must use your current YZ-F caliper carrier)
KTM Master Cylinder
PN: 54813001200
Spare Brembo Lever (one comes in the master cylinder kit)
PN: 54813002100
KTM Banjo Bolt
PN: 50213025000
YZ-F Caliper
PN: 1C3-2580T-00-00
Spare Brake Pads
PN: 5MV-W0045-01-00
Note: The thin metal clip that goes into the carrier needs to match the older/larger brake pads. So when you take off the 250mm carrier, make sure to take the clip out and put it in the 270mm carrier.
