Nissin calipers...are they the same?
Anyone know if the nissin calipers you find on an 07+ ZX14 are the same as the ones you find on the 09 Concours ZG1400?
From the pictures ive seen they look identical, but internally are they the same?

Re: Nissin calipers...are they the same?
something in my brain tells me yes...
edit: also im not sure if having abs makes any difference to calipers or not... the gtr has had abs for a fair few years now

Re: Nissin calipers...are they the same?
id hope so. Im actually going to install a right hand caliper from a zx14 and left from a zg1400...we'll see what happens. But if anyone knows any specifics of the internals, such as if the fluid holes are the same bore etc... that info would be appreciated.

They be fine me thinks.
They are insane brakes
Abs does not affect the caliper either. So you should be good to go

Give someone like Kelens a ring tomorrow. They've always been happy to answer questions over the phone for me in the past.

Re: Nissin calipers...are they the same?
Yes the 09 Concours ZG1400 calipers are exactly the same as the ZX14 & 07+ ZX6R calipers
Nothing at all different about them even though the Concour ZG1400 has ABS it must be somewhere in the Master Cylinder or something to do with that other disc thingy on the front disc & electrics
My best mate always tells me how them brakes are so touchy on my bike to be careful along the highway at speeds that a mosquito dont hit the front brake lever & make me catapult off the seat

Re: Nissin calipers...are they the same?
I fitted a set of ZX-14 Nissin calipers with standard pads to my 2006 ZX10R. Brakes are awsome and I think they have plenty of feel. I haven't used them on the track but a bit of fast road and rain riding haven't shown up any issues.
Great upgrade and cheap as chips to do.

)
