caliper

Hello everyone, After taking my calipers off the 2007 FZ6 I recently purchased I realized that 2 out of 4 pistons on each of my two front calipers are seized. Since the bike has 24,000 miles and I found a good caliper rebuild kit for a good price I would like to rebuild it (with new pistons...

As I prepare to upgrade my S1 to R6 forks, I began preparing my fleabay brake calipers by disassembling and cleaning while I wait for the new caliper seals. And as luck would have it, one of the larger pistons has some surface damage: The marks are toward the top of the piston. There is...

Hey All! It's been a while! I was just able to finish my R6 fork conversion but one of the 2 of the caliper was not coming off (the bolts were siezed). I literally tried everything, in the end, I even tried drilling a hole straight through them, no dice. I ordered a used caliper from ebay and...

Hey Forum, Trying to pull my rear caliper and the bolt that holds it to the bracket (the one of the two towards the front of the bike) is super stiff. It takes an unreal amount of torque to unscrew and once it does start to move it's very difficult to turn and doesn't seem to back out. I...

I need Brake caliper seal dimensions, i'll try to find the seals from the local seal / oring shop. Yesterday, i found all the orings needed for my other bike's carb rebuilding. May be i can find the caliper seals also. They have a great stock of seals.

Looking to buy a bracket for the rear caliper. Part number 10: http://www.motosport.com/motorcycle/oem-parts/yamaha/2007/fz6/rear-brake-caliper

I'm in the process of changing my rims from getting a new set of tires on, and am having a hard time balancing the caliper with the rotor. When I spin the wheel, there is minor scrape between the pads and caliper every part turn making an occasional high pitched squeak. How can I balance the...

I was trying to clean and lubricate the rear brake caliper. There is a small metal section within the brake caliper. Here is a picture. It popped out and I'm not sure which way it goes back in. Most notably there are two small tabs that poke outwards. In the above image they are both on...

This is from a 2011 FZ6 S2. I noticed that the rear brake pads rub against the disk. I can hear the rubbing when the bike is moved in neutral, but it generally rolls OK. I think that I've been riding it like this for at least a few weeks. Is this a problem? I'd like to remove the brake...

Hi All, It has been a busy week on my bike--new tires front and back, cleaned the calipers (did NOT replace caliper seals) and bled the brakes. I went with the Bridgestone BT-023 tires and am very excited to see how they feel. I cleaned the front calipers, pads and rotors are in good shape...

Hi all! Trying to figure out a potential problem on the rear of my 2007 FZ6 and was wondering how many rotations you get on the rear wheel when spinning it with your hand while on the center stand? I think I have a sticking caliper because my rear rotor gets hot with minimal use so I...

If this is in the wrong section I apologize. I just recently purchased a fz6 that I knew had a front break problem. The bike has low(er) miles on it so I wasnt concerned about buying it. So the bike sat up( have no idea how long) and now after riding for a short distance the left caliper locks...

Hi all I am replacing my caliper seals due to a bit of drag I can't rid off. Unbelievably expensive!! They have come with a little pink sachet that looks like a lube type substance. I would normally just put a bit of grease on them but is that what the pink sachet is for instead?? Thanks Adam

As the title says, I am looking to improve the braking performance of my 2005 Fz6. The reason I feel lacking in the braking department was my first intro to BMW S1000RR at California Superbike school (I thought I hit a brick wall on that bike) and my friend's S1000R (the naked BMW). So, I was...

I'm going to be replacing my brake seals in the coming days and will be replacing my lines with braided ones as well. It all seems a bit daunting to be frank. I have a complete set of seals, washers, grease etc ready. I have been reading and prepping for the seals replacement but I'm not sure...

2007 parts for sales , cheap/quick, all need to go to clean my garage! As you all know I recently got into the accident, the bike was totaled but left me a few parts that I purchased before such for spares, maintenance. I wanted them all gone, so these are cheap and post them up to clear my...

Hi, I'm planning to rebuild my front brake caliper and looking to buy the caliper seal kits. Item 7 & 9 in the diagram at the following link: 2007 FZ6 - FZS6WC Yamaha Motorcycle FRONT BRAKE CALIPER Diagram and Parts Based on the diagram, the top and bottom caliper seals have different...

I use my FZ6 for moto gymkhana but the rear brake is causing me a real headache. It gets used a lot and gets very hot so I have fitted dot5 fluid, braided hose, EBC HH pads and a heat sink to the top of the caliper to soak some of the heat away. After only a couple of minutes the brake starts...

There are no scratches at all but there were some spots that I can't explain. I bought the used 2008 front calipers pairs, the caliper and other parts are in pretty good condition. However the set of pistons doesn't look clean no matter what cleaner I used to clear off those marks ...no...

Guys, quick question about the front caliper, can the 2009 R6 front caliper be direct replacement for 2007 Yamaha Fz6? I'm think to buy a spare front caliper to work on the seal to replace on my 2007 FZ6? They are look-alike but I'm not sure just before hitting hte button! thx, jh
