Brake rotor upgrade?

Post by Cosmic_Jumper »

Is there a kit to increase the brake rotor size for a 2015 Forza? The brakes are pretty pathetic under normal freeway-speed stopping and downright unsafe if the scoot is loaded up for touring. Seems to me that I've heard of oversize rotors being installed along with some sort of bracket which relocates one of the caliper mounting points. I've searched but no joy.

Please help.

I've found this. The shopseems to ship Japan only, but I'm sure you could find the same elsewhere also.

Rubbish.
You just need to pull the levers harder.
