Smudge on modern bikes this works through the ECU of the bike . This is so like lee and cab mention, it allows you to control the bike via the rear only at walking pace . Just linking your front and rear with brake line won't do that mate .

It has its benefits as were the bike stays settled under braking , this is because the ECU knows how hard your trying to stop with either the front or the rear and applies enough force in the opposite brake to keep the bike smooth.

It has its pros and cons.

Stick with what you have mate , if it ain't broke ......etc ...

So to do swap I'd have to put the abs in and ecu...so if reading correct its pointless but I could just do the calipers for the 3 pot bigger ones for more stopping power??

You would have to double hose the calipers as one out the three pots is not linked. Have you tried upgraded pads?

I was thinking upgrade discs and pads cost are same to buy all the new pan calipers and hoses

But if you buy pan callipers you wont have new discs?

Id bang new pads in and fresh fluid. See how that feels.

No guarantee the setup from the later bike will feel any better?

Your money at the end of the day mate.

Maybe I should just ride it like a tourer and I wouldn't need better brakes

Not much need to change the discs.

Change pads, SBS Street (excellent pads straight from the off) and as said new fluid and new seals to re-fresh the whole lot up.
