    Hey Guys,

    I was at the dealership the yesterday looking at a 2009 and noticed the front right caliper has only one line to it. (obviously operating all three pistions) I looked up in the parts catalogues and pretty much none of the parts (m/c's, calipers, pcv, etc.) have the same part numbers between 5th and 6th gen Non ABS. Does anyone have riding experience on both to compare the two particulary in rear brake application at low speeds?

    Thanks

    5th and 6th gens both have the same LBS, low speed/ low pressure on rear pedal really doesnt activate the front brakes.
    this allows you to trail brake a bit using the rear pedal.
