You are correct, but when I said calipers, I had in mind where is most amount of fluid exposed to the most amount of heat… of course I was not talking about calipers meltdown or something like that. Now when you guys talking about dust welding, you are actually saying that carbon dust is brought up to the melting point and adhere to the whatever surface it comes to contact with?
I honestly didn’t hear about this, can someone educate me please?
Thanks

No it’s more likely pad dust.

Yeah they are all trying to accomplish the same thing with cooling the calipers due to the dust issue.

interssting, with the Sicom Rotors and Pads they actually WANT material to be continuously passed from pad to rotor and back, abs claim that you almost never needs to change the pads precisely because they pass that material back and forth.

so instead of brake dust you get material transfer.

cooling isn’t really an issue because they LIKE higher temps, when too cool they actually work less well, they also dissipate heat astonishingly fast, after a spirited ride you can touch the rotors 5 minutes after parking the bike and the rotors are back at ambient air temps.

Perhaps pad material is the differentiating factor. Maybe pads made for composite brakes don’t create the dust welding issue.

Termignoni Reparto Corse Full Ti exhaust complete. Enjoy below. The midrange is phenomenal. Pulls amazing from 4k-redline. The UpMap is a huge upgrade.

Exhaust is actually more comfortable than stock on heat. It is under the seat manageable, the stock was torching my left calf every ride.

hmmmm, I don’t seem to see those on any of the WBSK,BSB,ASBK, or SSTK series bikes. I’m guessing the V4SP has some advanced brake tech that allows you to brake a lot harder and requires a lot of thermal dissipation. Interesting.

Super advanced
 
Awesome bike @jcbertin what a cool journey to setup a new bike from scratch. Enjoy it.

I may be in the minority, I do not like that termi exhaust. The connector pipe passing right above the tips in the tail just don't look right to me.

Also, I use as much fork travel as @RickD996 does. 10w oil, air gap adjustment, 105 springs, 10.0 springs, etc. no difference. I always use almost all of the fork travel. And I'm only 150 lbs.
