    Nice mod brother. I did read quite a few posts on other forums how the stock master cylinder is prone to air and moisture getting in the system. This should remove the squishy feel that our brakes give.

    Can you provide a quick summary about the installation procedure, any points to remember as well as the cost ?

    i recently bought EBC sintered HH brake pads for both brakes. Have not installed it yet, but read reviews which claim that the initial bite is improved quite a bit with these. I'll post a review once I get around to installing them.

    cheers !!
    its very simple to install, its just plug & play.
    you will need a bigger bolt that fits into the master cylinder apart from that it gits normally.
    price for the master cylinder was 3025/-
    overall it costed me 3.1k

      Too much buzz on braking power of rc.
      mine is 2015 model and I never had problem with braking of bike.
      Yes initially for 2-3 months I felt brakes are spongy, not having enough initial bite but thigs changed after first 1-2k .
      After that i never had problem with brakes and they provide enough braking power on highways and as well as in city.

            Since this seems to be a common problem, I'll take it to SVC sometime this week or next week, get it checked out properly, and update you guys

            ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

            Does anyone here use a quick action throttle, or knows some info regarding it? Considering getting it put, as the throttle angle is too wide. I don't know how it works for other people, but pulling the full throttle is harder for me, and this seems super useful. Are there any potential problems that could occur, or any warranty issues?

            Normally I don't tag, but would love your opinion on this

            Thanks in advance!

                  The stock throttle itslef is quick throttle. The first lot of dukes had abt 110-120* play, current one is abt 80/90. It came out on rc and now across the range.
                  Motorcycling heals, big time...

                    good for you bro!
                    mine lacked stopping power, in an emergency braking the brakes wouldn't stop the bike and i ended up ramming into the bike infront of me.

                      Absolutely no problem using the quick action throttle tubes. At times when you brake when you're full on the gas, there is a twitch or throttle hold which is dangerous with the stock throttle tubes. I've used the quick action tube and it's improved the ridability quite extensively..

                      The newer ones have a short throw compared to the earlier ones, I'd suggest you try them. Warranty shouldn't be of concern...

                      And it's already close to a month I've relocated here in Gachibowli, Hyderabad, I haven't kept track of what's happening here in our forum. Hope to get my ISP and be back on the forum..

                      Cheers!

                      Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                      The girl said, 'NO!'


                      And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


                      THE END

                                Buddy, we understand your eagerness, but things such as this are simple (and detailed in the owners manual)
                                You could post such videos in case someone specifically asks for it, otherwise it isn't adding much value to the discussion.
                                Instead you could maybe focus on other mechanical aspects that are more involving and worth a DIY.
