So, took the bike to Evolution Motorcycles, they have:
1. Installed new tires - Dunlop Q3 Sportmax
2. Stainless Steel 6 Line Kit - Front, Rear, and Clutch Included - http://galferusa.com/product/suzuki-2015-gsx-1300-r-hayabusa-multiple-lines-fk003d873-6
3. EBC HH pads
I have passed 100miles mark since the install was done.
Initial impressions:
Tires heat-up fast, very precise and sticky - tested with locking rear wheel to get a feel on how fast they heat-up (get traction/no traction), bike became agile and more flickery in both slow maneuvers as well as "other" conditions - tested on street only. Consensus - great tires, will buy again, I hope they will last for at least 3-4k miles.
As far as brakes/clutch lines upgrade - clutch lever feels real nice - engagement seems smoother, can be due to new fluid. However the brake lever feels mooshy, while stopped I can squeeze it to the bar - yet, considering the bike is ABS equipped, under emergency braking 20-40mph range I was able to lock the front wheel and had rear come up, I could not tell if the front wheel was still spinning/progressing forward or if it was locked, if latter we have a problem.
I hope it was not locked as it would mean that ABS is malfunctioning?
Pads are obviously great, I feel such as they come up to operating temps very fast, have wide range of bite area - can be smooth during traffic stops, yet can slow me down fast enough from :wow speeds.
All in all, very happy with the upgrades. ABS operation to be figured out with more testing.
