Brake upgrades?

[Z1K]

Are there any front brake upgrades available for the MK1? My bike feels severely underbraked.

Hi ZIK 'the brake power kind of depends on your relative benchmark , all things being equal the standard brake should have sufficient retardation for normal usage .
Try all the cheap fixes first, degrease disc , renew fluid DOT 4 bleed system thoroughly , check and clean if required piston ,and renew seals if required .
Failing that a stainless ,replacement hose sometimes helps.

if your caliper/pads etc are ok you could put a bigger disc on, like a 320 mm supermoto disc from braking + adapter bracket, and if that aint enough you could add a braking supermoto caliper. But on standard tires it would be very easy to lock up the front and fall off

Follow FMtB's advice first. A 320mm front disk is pretty savage if you are using the bike off road .

On a Mk1 all the seals (calliper & master cylinder) are probably very tired.
