Question Brakes????

Hi ya! y'all!

Just a theretical question iv'e not got my brain around yet,,

If you have a twin disk setup and you remove one, would you have to pull the lever harder or would it be more power to one disk or about the same?

My logic is...

a) if the master cyclindar works two callipers, surely it would work one twice as hard or is that half as well?

b) if you only have one disk, surely you only have half the breaking? or is that one disk twice as hard?

c) I don't know anyway...

I have removed one calliper and disk and the lever feels a little hard, lacking in feel, but i have put new pads in and I havn't ridden the bike yet and won't know until oulton park, the master cyclinder is from a 749 I think?


anyone wishes to take a guess (or if you really know the answer) I will test it at Oulton Park and let you all know! (see who knows what!)
