Handbrake, mechanical fly-off and hydraulic centre lever acting on separate, mechanically operated rear calipers.

The RVF400 has lost all of this, the rear caliper is now held in place by a boss on the swingarm, it is not possible to easily modify the RVF400 to full 'Pro Squat Rear Brake Linkage' as the swingarm would require unmachining).

The speedometer now incorporated km/h markings as well as MPH (UK only) and the rear caliper was changed to accept the new square sintered pads.

Triangulated braking circuits on non-ABS cars with both front calipers and one rear caliper per circuit.

Front single-piston calipers are also manufactured by Toklan Toos under license of Lucas-TVS and rear single-piston calipers are manufactured by Girling.

The bike was fitted with an 'anti-squat' rear brake linkage that linked the rear caliper to the frame via a rose-jointed linkage through the swingarm (reducing rear suspension displacement under braking).

Tandems must be manufactured specifically to handle disc brake setups including rear caliper mounts and additional frame gussets to support the stresses created by the disc brake system.

Brakes were still linked with the hand lever operating the front right caliper and the foot brake operating the front left and rear caliper.

The lightweight aluminium alloy monobloc brake calipers are made by AP Racing; the fronts have eight titanium pistons and the rear calipers have six pistons.
