calipers

Hello I want to upgrade my vmax front brakes I have a vmax 1999 Now I got a FJR 2004 front calipers (silver point) Can I use them with the original Yamaha master cylinder? The FJR caliper will make any different? Thanks Uri

Hi all Can anyone tell me the distance between mounting holes centers on a early vmax forks? The pre '90 40mm stanchion ones with double pot calipers. Thanks in advance. PS - I think its 83mm but im not sure

Firstly, hi to everyone. As a new poster to this (or any) vmax forum I'd like to thank you fellas - and gals? - in advance. I bought a 95 Vmax a year ago and I'm starting my journey from stock to rock with R1 front calipers. I've gleaned as much as I can from this forum and other sources, but...

From what I been able to conclude from reading threads here, R1 and FZR750 calipers are direct bolt on replacements for 93-07 calipers. It seems the FZR's are considered much better than stock and the R1's are slightly better than stock. However, on FZR750 forums they change out the stock...

Do the blue dots screw out and could be replaced with black,gold,or silver? I was wondering if aftermarket sold something like that? I dont really like the way the blue looks on my bike. I like the performance though.

found some front fj1200 calipers for a very reasonable price! they off an '88 model wanting to know if they will fit max? as she single pots and the fj's are twin cheers jay

I DO For the awesome price of 40 shipped. Gotta loooooove ebay. ----- I decided to upgrade the brakes, I swear it feels like my 74 CB360 that had drums stopped better than this thing.

i just did mine and noticed the brake line looking kinked. does anyone have pictures of their conversion? i attached the picture of mine and would like to compare. i'm thinking about getting sean to hook me up with some aftermarket lines and he was thinking a couple of inches shorter would...

Problem with 2001 R1 Calipers on 1986 VMax Hello Members and Visitors, Based on what I've been reading I bought a set of 2001 R1 calipers (blue dot) on eBay for $140. My understanding was that they would be a simple bolt on swap for my 1986 VMax. Much to my surprise, they're not. The span...

Thinking about upgrading the brakes. I've got an 05. What year r1 calipers will fit, and does it require different pads than stock? Any other helpful info would be appreciated as well.

What years of rear calipers are compatible with a 92 MAX?

I want to upgrade my front brakes to 4 piston calipers or even the R1 with the 93> rotors though I've just bought brand new master cylinders. Will the existing 1988 master cylinder be OK to use with the 4 pot calipers, or the R1 calipers or would I have to change the master cylinder too??

I have installed the gold dot R1 calipers with the Galfer SS 3-lines. The lines to me appear far too long and I even tried to criss cross them. Take a look and im up for any suggestions. Should I just pull the two lower lines and send them back to Galfer to shorten them properly? Thanks for...

Hey Guys: So I'm having my calipers powder coated and obviously the seals have to come out (else they be a gooey mess). The powder coater says that he'll "try to save them," but this hardly sounds encouraging. Does anybody know the best place to get seal kits for the rear OEM caliper (1990)...

Just curious if I can swap the later model bigger rotors and calipers from a 93 and later to a 90? thanks.

Greetings all, Just got my '91 VMAX which is already in need of front end/brake work. The gent I bought it from didn't know much about the bike. However the original owner made a few upgrades including SS brake lines and Nissin calipers. So, my first question is, how do the Nissin calipers...

I'll be installing these soon I hope. Is it necessary to bleed your calipers or at least fill 'em with fluid before re-fastening the brake line?

I've got to replace the rear caliper on my 1992 VMax along with the rotor. I plan to get an EBC rotor and HH pads, but haven't been able to find a good source for a stock caliper. The local dealer wasn't very helpful, and said that I would need to check the salvage shops. I can't believe there...

If you have read my other threads you would see that I just put on Hayabusa calipers, R1 rotors, and used Sean Morley's adapters. I had some trouble with a little grinding going on. Turns out one of the rotors is a little oblonged. It was grinding out the inside of the caliper. Now that I...
