What caliper do you use with the F3 rear wheel and rotor ? Does the sv rotor fit ? Does it need to be modded at all ?

1st gen or 2nd gen ?

 

[RedAggie03]

use the F3 rotor on second gen...not sure about the 1st gen, there is a size issue you have to deal with. +1 for 2nd gens

so i take it you're keepin the SV dude?

 

[powderdtoastman]

;D yup ! I've been takin it up in the mountains past few weekends and I'm glad I didnt let it go !

My bike is an 03 , so what I'm wondering is , will the stock SV caliper work on the F3 rotor ?

Why worry about the rear brake?? I am planning on removing mine all together cause I never use it at all ever. All I need is the spacer, the rest is just extra weight. And believe it or not I am still using the stock brake pads and lines. We'll see what happens when I become a track regular next year. I do have one SS Galfer line for the front that works and the other has a broken Banjo so if I can find a single line then those will go on. I also have some Vesrah pads that Kris sold me, so that should make it twice as nice when needed. Rear brakes are for noobs. ;D j/k

I don't think you can legally do that on or off the track.

Why? The county inspector only looks at vehicles that are new to the state. There is no inspection in NE for current road worthy vehicles. But, I could be wrong?

The Rear brake is pretty darn handy when you go on those unanticipated offroading excursions -- whether on the track, or the street. The front brake is NOT what you want to use in these situations.

I know from experience.

Good point Quasi!

our club requires a fully functioning rear brake system (or at least one that can pass tech).  most folks i've talked to don't use it - except for the experts of course - you think they know something us newbies don't? - jeff h

Yeah all the tracks around here require rear brakes here too. So do all the track schools I know of. And our state inspection is once a year and requires a rear brake too.
