caliper

I just recieved a great looking adapter to run the larger rotor on my back wheel with the stock caliper. The kit came with the adapter plate, two spacers/bushings, and two stainless bolts. My question is how does this install. I am hopeing that someone has a picture on one installed that I can...

The R1 uses the same Brake callipers from 2008 to 2012 models as the Gen II. Meaning same caliper and same 130mm mount spacing. Brembo has developed a Brembo caliper with a mounting bracket specifically or the R1 so you can mount a 108mm to a 130mm mount This also fits on the MT01 which you...

:oops: I was installing my new brake pads and taking the opportunity to can-o-air out all the brake dust and what not while I was at it. On the front left brake I noticed one piston was a lot more recessed than the other 3, and grabbed a 1x4 to slide into the middle to be sure the pistons...

:bang head:Ok everyone I have some questions. I been looking to paint my engine & was wondering who uses what? It seems that brake caliper paint & engine paint are the same both rated for extreme heat. I want a nice gloss from the paint also being on a budget limits me ( some used the 2k 2 part...

I have a '96 Vmax. I already have the stainless hoses, new HH pads and the braking is still subpar. I am about to rebuild the front end and would like to upgrade while I'm at it. I have read some posts referencing caliper upgrades. I understand that parts can be used from early R1's or GSXR or...

I think my rear caliper has about had it. It has locked up on me and that's the last straw. Instead of just replacing with OEM I was wondering if there are any specific upgrade models you guys installed on your Maxes. If anyone can point me in the right direction i'd appreciate it. I did a...

Hey Sean I was wondering if you had two dist seals for 94 fzr 1000 6 pots.. Yamaha dealer says they come in sets 30 for big pistons 60 for small pistons.. I just need one of each.. when I was pushing in the pistons to put new pads on two of them came partially out.. I didn't know if you had...

Today I was looking at the bike, and was gonna put on steel braided brake lines. The left front brake caliper is missing the dust shield. (At least thats what its called on a Mopar). So...the question I have is this (these) How important is it...IE I cant ride the bike until I get another, do I...

Im rebuilding a R1 caliper and having an issue. I got all the piston seals in, no problem. 2 of the dust seals went in. The last 2 dust seals don't want to go. All the seals are original (old). You know how some rubber parts seem to expand if they soak up oil or grease? That is how these...

Hi all: I know this is an idiotic question, but sadly, that's the way I roll... I've received some rubber caliper seals for rebuilding my R1 Blue Spot brake calipers, and each set of seals comes with a little clear packet of a purplish/pinkish goo. Is that a grease, or a type of adhesive...

Hi all: First: My Max has blue spot calipers front and back, and I'm wondering if removal of the blue inserts will allow me access to the brake pistons (since getting them out from the inside workings of the caliper is a pain in the butt.) Second: I emailed qualitypartsonline.com a couple...

http://www.partshark.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=676403&category=motorcycles&make=YAMAHA&year=1993&fveh=17997 Looks like this is the place for seals. I went to a local guy and they wanted $114 for the 2 sides PLUS shipping just for the seals. Like $300+ for the pistons. Outrageous...

Been doing some reading on here and I haven't been able to find better calipers for a 85 model that just bolt on with no adapters. Are there any out there and if so are they so hard to find that it's just better to go with the busa calipers instead?If there are what bike models should I be...

Thanks for looking in - I noticed my rear pads looked thin so thought I'd put some new ones on.....and now of course I've got a real problem! While trying to press pistons back - one wouldn't budge. Read on the forum to push brake and now the one piston that did retract won't push back out...

What is the others actual model no need mod or adaptor & direct bolt on upgrade for Rear,front stock rotor and caliper?

Is 6piston much more better than 4piston? Which brand or model caliper is the best for front and rear? R1 caliper or GSXR1100 Tokico?? I am new for Vmax,mine is 93model.

I was changing the pads on my rear brakes today and could not for the life of me get the pistons back into the caliper. I took the caliper off and examined it. Looks like the previous owner had issues too because the edges of both pistons look chewed up. I guess he tried to use a big screw...

It has been stated in other threads (by sean) that the 6 pot calipers from the early 90's yzf750r are a direct bolt on for our '93+ Vmax's, it was also stated that these calipers are very hard to come by as the yzf750r is a realatively rare bike. This is true ,and when I have found them people...

Hi, I was missing the top bolt for my front left caliper ( I'm only using one) and Sean sent me a bolt but when I went to put the bolt in it's stripped, can I retap it or will I need a whole new caliper? Problem is mines chromed. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Ed

This one's for all, but Mr. Morley may have a particular interest- I'm now working on my 3rd, maybe 4th, I can't remember, set of rear brake pads, on my '03 Max. The first two replacement sets were EBC FA 88(organic), the set in use now are O.E.M.($$$!), because that's all the dealership...
