Do you think its nessary to change the lines also? So far I've been happy with the stock set up with no issues of fade but I'm just a weekend ripper no track riding. What did they run cost wise I like cheap upgrades.

What did they run cost wise I like cheap upgrades. It's really up to you and what you want out of the bike. I'm a seasoned track rider and canyon carver and my take on most modern brake lines is that the stock lines are typically very good at least for the short term especially when you consider the cost and but of difficulty it is to install aftermarket lines. After a while, I imagine the material will degrade slightly due to sun exposure and heat and cold expansion cycles. That's where it might be good down the road to upgrade to stainless lines and I did that on my track bike after about 5 years. But certainly, stainless lines will definitely help a bit better with brake fade. Although I still recommend other upgrades before lines which will also reduce fade AND increase stopping power where as my take on lines is they really only decrease fade. I'm definitely in agreement with the Op that brake pads are a great upgrade on this bike as the stock pads leave a lot to be desired as does the master cylinder. My recommendation in brake upgrades is in this order: Pads Master cylinder Lines Calipers if racing or really in need to consistent and better brake power |

For me I think pads will do the trick again im happy with the stock braking . Sometimes coming in hot into a turn with some bumps I get like feedback on the peddle at the same time as the suspension movement and abs going off back tire gets a little squarely like its off the ground then makes contact. It could be suspension set up but I like it for how I ride and my conditions .
I can say this bike has been very forgiven in a few situations whare it was oh shit I'm not going to make it with all the brakes it had and the abs got me through in time to make the turn .

Hate to say it but sounds more like your riding style causing that. Need to use less or no reaR brake in heavy braking conditions. 90 % of weight gets transfered to the front end in very heavy braking, making it very easy to overbrake on the rear tire and lock it up (or cause ABS to kick in). |
