To be honest, you'd probably get a better braking experience by changing your pads from OEM to something a little more grippy. Yes, the P4 is a very good caliper but the standard system is a very good setup let down by **** pads, imho.

Try some Carbone Lorraine SBK3 pads in there first, if they do those pads for yours. This should improve the initial "bite" and stop them feeling so wooden when you're braking.

If that still doesn't satisfy you, then upgrade to the P4 calipers.

Does your MultiStroodle have radial master cylinders as standard, like the 749/999 ?

I've compared the brakes on my 748 (standard disks, standard pads, goldline calipers, goldline master cylinder) with my 620 DD (standard disks, SBK pads, goldline calipers, Brembo race radial master) and the 600 DD (standard disks, SBK pads, goldline calipers, Brembo radial master from 999) and both of the DD bikes win hands down over the 748!
