Next expected surprise

Post by arnoldsq »



I knew from the start the back breaks were stiff. In order to move the bike I actually needed to hit the caliper with a 2x4.

Since I am waiting on carb parts to show up I moved to breaks. 2 hours in the ultrasonic and a hammer and punch was needed to break the corrosion free.

Mine where not stuck but didn't look much different when I got them apart. A new set of pistons and seals did the trick, make sure you clean out those grooves well!
I'm selling good clean fresh hay. If you want some that's already passed through the horse, that comes a little cheaper!

The best advice on internet motorcycle repair forums comes from posting the wrong answer to your own question.

Yes I’m about to order parts. And start polishing the caliper.
