Fair play they look great! Alas, shipping costs to the UK and being clobbered with customs fees would make it a very expensive venture. 🤔

Yes the brakes are absolutely shite. I feel I’m too far down the road now though as I’ve bought all new pistons, seals, pads, braided lines, spent ages stripping paint and respraying!!!! I really wish I’d gone down the blue dot 🔵 route now right from the get-go. 🤔 You live and learn I guess...

Yes I understand I need adapter brackets for the blue dots. 👍👍👌

Thanks for this info. I don’t want to buy more kits just to get the O ring as I have already paid out on new pistons and seals…….also I’m in the UK so shipping and customs fees would break the bank. I’m thinking I might go for the Yamaha blue spot calipers and shit-can these ones.

Yes I agree. They shouldn’t flex at all.

A thicker O rings might cure the leak but to my mind there should be no flexing at all 🤔

It’s happening on both sides. Both calipers have new O rings, although they are not OEM as that little O ring between the two halves is not listed on the Yamaha fiche.

Hi all, I have a ‘92 Gen 1 with standard brake setup. My brakes have always been crap with the lever coming pretty much all the way up to the bar. I have just overhauled my master cylinders and calipers, all new pistons and seals, also fitted braided lines………you guessed it, they are still...

Yes I have the restrictors installed in the CarbTune hoses, all the adjusters are free and turn easily too.

Yes I was thinking of maybe getting the analog gauge type. I thought the CarbTune was a decent set though 🤔

Yep Yep…. Done all that…… but every carb I adjust alters the settings of the ones I’ve just set previously. I can’t set any one carb and have it stay constant. Even the value of #2 is varying and that’s supposedly the set point.

Yep …… been following that procedure, but as soon as I jump on #3 it totally screws up #1 & #2 🤷‍♂️

Yes i’ve been on it for some time….. it’s a fairly warm day here in UK today so the bike is getting hot. The missus is bitching about the noise too so i’ve had to call it for today. 😟

Hi all, Having an absolute mare trying to synch carbs. No 2 pot is non-adjustable right? So I try to synch 1,3 & 4 to 2. First I synch 1 & 2, but when I then try to synch 3 & 4 it screws up 1 & 2 and they all go out of synch. Surely only one column at a time should be moving. 🤷‍♂️. I’m using...

I’ve spent literally hours and hours and hours…….not to mention £££££££’s trying to remedy this issue - bike coughing and farting and running 💩💩. Someone mentioned about the mixture screws so I bought 4 kits from Fowlers and it now runs like a clock. 👍👌
