bigborebanshee Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I installed a set of yfz calipers on my banshee this weekend.Noticed a huge improvement in braking.I run a 23 inch front wheel and the stock banshee brakes would blow right through them.With the yfz calipers I could actually get them to lock up for a second .i did not really notice a problem with the stockers until i started running taller front tires for woods riding.The yfz calipers also use pads that have more surface area to them,much like the 87-89 banshees did. I was able to pick up a set of used calipers with dam near new pads for 70 shipped...Great mod for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick2stroke Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I also have the full 450 front brakes with SS lines. Awesome braking power over stock. I'd really love to get a front end set up to work with the ktm calipers/spindles etc.. 4 piston calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjc Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 06 and later yfz's have duel piston calipers on the rear. the rears are larger and heavy compared to the fronts, I put a yfz front caliper on the rear of our TT flat track quad.

Powerstroke Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 450 rear calipers are also pretty expensive. Like CJC I used a rf 450 caliper on a homemade bracket. Stock rear bracket I tried to modify to work on the rear next to 450 front bracket my creation is the bottom bracket. Mounted Uploaded with ImageShack.us Probable didnt make the kind of differance the fronts did but still worth the trouble. If anyone knows if a 450 rear is a direct bolt up please post pics.
