Lets here some suggestions from zook owners. Just got this thing and it looks new, but the brakes are weak to say the least. Its bone stock. Im looking for proven tricks for the suzukis. Im already thinking of going to honda or yami master cylinders, but would rather not if I dont have to. Spill it!!!
You don't have to buy an oversize rotor/wave rotors. The best solution I have found is to use steel lines and a very aggressive mx/sx compound pad. Spend a little extra $ on pads and get it right the first time. When you put the new pads in, take scotch-brite and scuff the rotors so they will cut the pad seat nicely during break-in.
Also make sure when you bleed the front brake line, wire tire the brake lever to the grip and leave it sit over night in the fully squeezed position. This will allow the master cylinder to open and allow bubbles to work their way out. Release the lever in the morning and crack open the bleed valve with standard bleeding procedures a few more times.
