that actually made sense to me the first time.

:idk:

just wonderin-do all bikes have floating rear calipers? never paid attn to the gsxr, but the honda caliper on my kawi is a floater.

same idea, but reverse tech because the rear rotor is much smaller than the front?

when my kawi was stock, the front rotors were the same size as the rear, so that meant slightly small front rotors compared to todays sportbikes, and way a large rear. all were solid, drilled rotors


another braking question-they sell solid aftermarket rotors as well as full floating for the front...is one better suited to certain purposes (drag racing, street, circuit racing)more than the other?

you can get into wave, slotted, drilled, or a combo of each if you want too

full floaters are generally the best for general performance, but some people do not like them because they can rattle and also be noisy as hell. And no not all bikes have floating rears Example mine doesnt, floaters in the front solid in the rear, but mine is also a dinosaur

They are also know as a "jam nut". They are the same wrench size & same thread pitch but only thinner.

The chop has one...

No shit.

its also damn near the same size as the front right?

sportbike rears are way tiny-ive seen tiny floating rotors on dargbikes in the front, but the point i was gettin at was is the purpose of the floating rear caliper to get some of the same effects, without using a floating rotor. because most bikes rear rotors are pretty universal throughout the series. 600/750/100 suz are same, honda 600/929/954 are same, etc. calipers arent always the same tho

Yep and yeah not much smaller than the front
