    Hi everybody, I am rebuilding front brakes and I need to change two out of four pistons, but I have trouble finding them in online shops where I usually get my stuff (german and austrian shops). Some have it for older models, some say that it is the same piston for older and newer models (I...

    My "front-end" saga continues with the discovery of seized brake caliper pistons and brittle caliper piston seals (that have been in there since 2001) Having never done this before.....Is this piston good for re-use? It seems to slide in and out of the bore ok, but looks a bit pitted/scored?

    Hello, I am looking for a pair of pistons ( 0.25) for my RD03. ( 13102-MN8-305 ) So far, all websites with OEM parts doesn't have it anymore. Maybe somebody can help me with some info. I already bought the 0.25 rings, and prepared the cylinders, all I need is the pistons. Thank you.

    Having refurbished my rear brake callipers on my 1996 XR250R, I though the front callipers would be the same ..... BUT alas not. I discovered phenolic pistons in the front callipers ? Am wondering if they’re worth re-using, as i’ve never come across phenolic pistons before and I was...

    Had a bit of a nightmare yesterday after installing new pistons reassembling the heads and getting the engine back in the frame quite nicely disaster struck. When torquing down the small 6mm bolt in the cylinder head it snapped like a bit of cheese. As usual this was the last bolt. To fit a...
  7. Dominator / FMX
    I'm hoping to build a special dominator motor with a high compression piston - say 10.5:1 No problem I thought, as Wiseco do them for the XR650L - which is the same as the Dominator right? Does anyone know 100% for sure if this is true of all XR650L motors because the Wiseco catalogue does not...

I've ordered a manual but until it comes can anybody help? It's a twin piston calliper off a '93 transalp and there are two stainless...

    For those amongst you that like to have a tinker in the workshop over the cold winter months, how about making a lamp like this one I found on the interweb. As soon as I get a bit of spare cash, I think I will make a pair of them for myself and jnr as I have some old pistons lying around.;););)...

    About four years ago I converted my then, RD04 caliper with a set from a CBR 600F 1995. Apart from the hangers they were a direct fit. I'm trying to make the same conversion with my new RD04 and have just bought another set of the above caliper but they don't fit. The original calipers I...
