Do you mean the rekluse? I’ve looked into it. What makes it so much better?
No I mean the actual brembo clutch master cylinder with the KTM steel braided line. You have to remove the rear foot brake and run the line directly to the brake caliper. It makes breaking so much easier you can barely have to touch it with one finger you can easily lock the wheel right up. Watch this video where electrobrap installs his. The only difference is I ran the line through my frame not on the outside for a cleaner install and you don't have to remove the fairing or anything.
Ah, gotcha. I wanted to retain the foot brake for various reasons, so that’s why I went the Ox route. I don’t know if you’ve used the Ox Hydra 2.0 they just released but it actually requires almost no effort to lock up. And no bleeding to install, super easy takes about 5 min - I may go back and space the MC and Ox piece in though as the ox piece is tight on the return spring as installed.
Yes I have that newest pro version of the ox brake on my KTM 350 xcf. Trust me when I tell you that thing is not even anywhere close to being as nice as the brembo break. It takes three times the force to lock up the wheel with the ox brake, especially since the master cylinder is a quarter of the size and the brake line isn't steel and it's half the size so obviously you're not going to get anywhere near the braking power. Once you try the brembo you will never want to use the foot break again I guarantee it. It's just so much easier and intuitive with the handbrake that actually is that easy to use.
My bikes are all whores that I share with people of various ages, genders, skill levels. As such, I feel that not having a foot brake on a bike that can be tough to get parts for is an unnecessary liability (if you are catching my drift), but that's just me! Glad you like the Brembo unit, if I eventually find myself disappointed with the Ox may give it a try. I do like the Rekluse unit as well.
So not sure what to do other than getting stiffer spring so it doesn't bottom out so harshly.
Ouch! I remember the first time I took a stock MX to a motocross track it bottomed such that the frame hit the hard dirt and the heels of my feet on the footpegs hit the ground. I was afraid to jump after that and started doing the boner air thing not to flat land again. Then I emailed Alta and they sent me the "secret revalve specs".Sooo I raced my Redshift SM this weekend at Shasta Supermoto and I found out my Redshift is awful at jumping at least on the dirt course there. It bottoms out so bad I definitely need stiffer springs. Anyway I bottomed it out good and even with the revised spacers I am still having the master cylinder rub on the swing arm. I see little chunks of aluminum being scrapped off again
