Gen 1 front brake pump modification

Do it. Been to Italy 3 times and it’s an amazing place. Should’ve been born in the med I reckon

I spent lots of time all around Italy and staged out of Aviano during the war in the Balkans for a little while...

They didn't let us loose anywhere though unfortunately......

It looks beautiful though........

......I just got done typing the message above and a documentary on Italy just started on the TV.....

What a coincidence..........

I'm going to try and take my brother and his wife along my wife and I.......it's hard to coordinate that with them as they are very involved in their grandkids lives....

1) either I overhaul the original pump
2) either I change the pump and put in another one

many people told me to fit the brembo 19RCS, others instead tell me to fit the nissin, what do you recommend?

I went for a GSXR1000 Nissin master/cyl, HEL braided hoses, overhauled calipers (original 6 pot Tokicos)
new aftermarket rotors and a set of EBC HH sintered pads . . .
Wow . . transformed my brakes with the lever only pulling in about 10% of its travel and powerful brakes like a GSXR1000 brakes.
It's worth spending a bit of money on your brakes, it's a very important part of riding, and it's a psychological boost knowing your brakes are great!

so I have a known problem from the 1st generation, that is the brake pump that does not brake anything, and in my case it even arrives in packs even though the discs, pads, and oil are new (ps: I fit braided hoses), despite this the brake lever reaches 5 millimeters from the accelerator lever, and honestly when braking, or in any case in emergency braking situations it is not the best.

I have dirty hands because I had just changed the oil

I did all you’ve done but on my gen2 and a brembo RCS. If I had to do it again, I would start with the master cylinder and leave everything else alone. My gen3 feels great and, unlike others, haven’t had issues with the master cylinder on it. It sits for weeks and i go pull the lever to see if it has lost prime/pressure but works fine every time.
