Pity the dealer can't tell the time. |

Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #8 Completely agree. I figure the value of your and my Brembo machines has increased a tad! As to why? Cost is I assume at the heart of it. The simplistic answer is that they are already using Hayes on the GS so it is not economic to use a different brand on a different model. The broader question is why use Hayes at all? Again I think it will be cost and profit margins. Chris

Starting to hear of GS owners getting warranty caliper swaps. Removing the Hayes and installing Brembo. |

Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #12 It's not warranty, it's a straight up recall replacement of ALL Hayes calipers mounted on US bikes. https://advrider.com/bmw-recalls-9392-mo...-brake-caliper/ I replaced calipers on both our '20 GS and '19 GSA. Won't get into the details, but I did the swap, not the dealer. They supplied everything I needed.

Zitat von MrVvrroomm im Beitrag #13Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #12 At Colorado I liked the feel of your front brake lever compared to our bikes. This was at a standstill. Do you still have the same good lever feel?

I can't really feel a discernable difference. Haven't put many miles on with the new Brembos. Had them on my '18 GSA and the lever feel was nearly identical.
