Actually I think the 300 and 250 simply start life with a far too big master cylinder piston, and that is a big part of why the brakes feel so crappy. Thankfully that leaves room for bigger piston area in the calipers.

I'm a big sumoto rider and I am a certified brake whore. My last street bike was a KTM SMR950 with twin radial Brembos and radial master, but it paled in comparision to my Husky SMR450 brakes.

The stock master and either 4 or 6 piston Tokico is a huge step in the right direction, stock the master/caliper ratio is way off. I almost tried a 11mm master off my MX bike but the cal bracket came to be first.
