Today I finished installation of a Warp9 front disc on my DR650. Anyone who rides a DR650 knows that the stock front brake features an old fashioned anti lock system-AKA underwhelming power. On dry pavement not even Charles Atlas would have the strength to lock the brake. The Warp 9 modification gives you a 20% larger diameter disc complete with a revised caliper mounting bracket. I also chucked the terrible EBC brake pads and went back to stock Suzuki pads. They are more expensive but according to all online comments--the stock pads are the best for braking power.
While I was at it, I also renewed the brake fluid. I always do this by back bleeding which is quick, easy and can be done by one person.
