My buddie used Honda brakes on his pred and the problem is gone.

I'll find out more sometime this week and let you know.

we would all like to know. I have been told that the problem was fixxed for 06 but other have proved this to not be true.I have also been told that the new OUTLAW does not have this problem and the brake will fit on a predator. As for the honda mod, Daryl Rath has some kind of set up he was working on. I was told it was spindles,hubs, master cylinder and calipers from a trx 450r But, it requiered modding of the predator a-arms.I would love to fix this problem myself,,my pred has it bad.

Sorry about delay been very busy with work and family.

He used brakes off a 02 400 EX Master cylinder and calipers, he had to fab up a mounting ear for the caliper that bolted to the stock spindle, from what he told me you dont have to do anything to the stock parts on the pred or the ex brakes pretty much a bolt on deal.

He got the parts dirt cheap on ebay, i think the total cost was under 60 bucks.

he said no problems and he has been using this set up for about 6 months of racing, next time i'm out at his house i'll snap some pics and put them up for everyone to see.

I'm also thinking of doing this on my pred.
