What is it about your brakes you find lacking? Is this strictly a street bike?

Most riders start with better aftermarket pads and good fluid and then go from there. Nothing wrong with the stock rotors unless they're warped; plenty of racebikes still use them. Likewise, calipers and MC work quite well. Sounds like you want to add a bit of bling, nothing wrong with that.

And yes, the front lines are SS as stock.

 

the only thing i've done so far is replaced the pads with EBC HH ones, the difference is day and night

but i still would like better feel so i thought about the MC, the nissin feel is quite wooden

i do track days occasionally

oh and that's great regarding the lines. so i only have to upgrade the rear ones then

what is wrong with the brake fluid that many change them out ? do they boil that fast ?

 

Someone mention wooden feel? Could be the ABS.

I'd suggest that you have a look in the 2015 R1 forum for threads on braking issues.

 

Are you attached to the ABS feature?

I've removed the ABS altogether for track/race duty only, and went traditional SS line routing to each caliper. Additionally I've replaced the pads with Vesrahs and my brakes are solid.

 

FWIW, and after going back and forth and listening to others on this subject, I watched my buddy put down flawless 1:51's at Thunder Hill on his stock R1M, with stock brakes, stock pads, stock suspension, all the electronics enabled and slicks on Saturday. IFAIK that's only ~3.5 sec of the lap record for unlimited 1000cc Superbikes, ridden by the West Coast's finest. He had zero fade.

I think I'm going to focus my investment in coaching, track time and fitness before spending another $ on upgrades!

 

17 m here I upgraded my brakes to RCS19 mc, braketech axis race spec front rotors, vesrah rjl pads and Motul rbf600 fluid and my shit stops hard on stock abs all I want now is to upgrade calipers for the moment

M50 calipers do not fit fyi. You need 108mm calipers.
