4 piston caliper vs 6 piston caliper

[gasolina77]

i've been using dual 4 piston calipers front brake, and 1 piston caliper rear brake and i feel safe under 90km/h
I just wonder if i change them into 6 piston calipers front, 3 piston rear would it be safer at higher speed ?, normally i ride around 80-100 and some area up to 120-130....

Clearly kilometers per hour, and clearly NOT a PCX. 130 kph? A balls-to-the-wall Forza?

Better brakes might help, but extreme vigilance (with a dose of paranoia) is probably your best friend.

a yuminashi parts PCX.......

I believe they would be overkill. As far I remember you run dual disc brakes with dual 4 piston calipers at the front - but can't remember the disc size. Nevertheless, they should be more than adequate.
CBR600Fs which are more than capable bikes with double (250kmph ish if I remember correctly) top speed, 60% more weight and very good braking have the same dual disc dual 4 pot calipers setup. The diameter of the discs is more important than the number of pots. But your setup is already overkill for the PCX. Even if it has quite a lot more power than stock.

My disc is 220mm though.....same size as the stock disc so in my case 240mm or 260mm disc would give me better result

I'm currently running 260mm disc with EBC sintered pads and steel braided line. It is more than fine on this scooter. Recently I have been working on a few friends bikes and brought them on a test ride. Man I was scared to death by the stock braking system compared to mine.

Hi. What disc, caliper, pads and adapter did you use?
