Brakes, kick this info around. 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
http://www.lyndallracingbrakes.com/apps.htm

I'm real good on brakes, anyone try these or going to? I want to know what someone thinks that use them. Besides all the people who testify on their web site. I can clearly see how they would work better. And use less rotor too.

Don't list anything for Yamaha that I could see

I'd try them out ... there only about $20 more than what I paid for the ones I have now.

They got me at no dust! Bike can be perfectly clean & the wheels will be black.

Yea I didn't notice they did not have a listing for yama. I suppose they could make em pretty easy. The plan they have sounds good. Someone here on the RSC advise me to go with. DP Sport HH+ pads, They were a little more expensive, they stop great, not that I am much of a brake person, But I was told, and it is true, that they greatly diminish the amount of dust! Wha la!

They are a bit noisy as far as the noise you hear as they ride the rotor, people always ask when the last time I serviced my front bearings was.

My rear always locked up on a 911 stop, but since I have the CT back there, it's easily controlled.

But the brakes in the link sure do look like they would work well and preserve the rotor. and maybe be quieter.

Yep they are, I put them on in my Front brake Maint. thread. F&R I should not have to worry about breaks for like 3 years or so. They stop very well.
