Couldn't you get the factory o rings for the blue plug? Using generic ones is not ideal as you need to ensure the material is compatible with brake fluid, EPDM being the best choice, nitrile or viton, which the generic o rings are almost certainly made of will degrade and fail in time.

@DavidStevenson-gw2eo 29 дней назад

All types of seal will degrade over time, this is why these calipers are servicable, make sure when replacing the O-ring to match the cross section/diameter and service when needed or yearly etc.

@c9188 26 дней назад

@@DavidStevenson-gw2eo brake fluid will attack certain type of rubber quite quickly, not to mention as you say get the right size specified by the design rather than a generic right by eye size, especially on something as crtitical as brakes

I remember back in the 90's, the magazines of the time - Bike, Performance Bikes etc - used to talk endlessly about the superiority of the blue spot caliper. It was difficult at times to find a Reader's Special that didn't have a set of blue spots.

Any tips to stop pads rattling when going over bumps in roads

@Moonfleet41 29 дней назад

Ah, good ol' Hayabusa foibiles, mine did the same, you can either fit some shims on the back of the pads, or a simpler fix is the ol' copper slip trick, but don't use too much, just enough to dampen the movement... either way mate, it will always come back eventually.

@tommylitchfield3450 Месяц назад

Del, when you were installing the brake pads, you forgot to point out that you had bought those rare, desirable DUAL HYBRID PADS.... If you want great friction above all, then you install them like you did in this video, with the semi metallic braking compound towards the rotor... But if you want MAXIMUM braking life with very little of that pesky friction, then simply install the pads with the metal backing plate towards the rotor for the longest lasting brake pads ever!... Even better, you can have the best of both worlds by putting one in each way... :) :) I actually had a friend send a photo of an automobile caliper that was loaded that way, with one brake pad inserted backwards coming into the shop for a TERRIBLE squealing sound whenever the brakes were applied!! :) :)

@Moonfleet41 Месяц назад

Careful mate... by now, you will have already caused a crowd of blistery trolls to spit out their spagetti hoops, dash to their bedrooms in a flat spin and contact all their little troll chums to amass a tidal wave of pithy hate and bile at your deeply dangerous suggestion....i mean who d'you think you are, Ichibanned Moto..lol. Seriously though mate, a have actually had a bike in with two pads one side of the disc.. actually not that hard to do if you're careless and in a rush.. Take care buddy and have a wonderful weekend aye.. Love awlays. D&Pxx

@tommylitchfield3450 Месяц назад

@@Moonfleet41 Hey, I LIKE that "both pads on the same side of the rotor" strategy!! You will get twice the life out of a set and you are always carrying a spare pad... Just swap places with the pads!!! Probably a little rough on your caliper pistons on the side without the pads though...The image of blistery trolls spitting out their spaghetti hoops in a flat spin is now indelibly imprinted in my subconscious brain for eternity.. Thanks for that!! :) Enjoy the weekend, my friends :)

@myz06rocks Месяц назад

One quick piece of information, the inside diameter of the larger seal is often times tapered. Typically the larger side of the seal should be towards the source of the brake fluid. Please consult your service manual.

@Moonfleet41 Месяц назад

From memory, that was a Brembo foible back on early air cooled Ducatis, caused a bit of a kerfuffle when owners tried to sue when THEY got it wrong... so i think they abandonned it soon after... not seen a 'trapezoidal' seal since..! (and yes, i always check).!

@@huguesdube-bonhomme7599 Thank you so much for those kind words, and for your long term support and faith in us........ With the cap, they are a 'left hand' thread as I explained in the video, it means instead of the pressure of the brake fluid pushing them out it actually pushes them in to their seat... hence they torque up clockwise!

@JDnBeastlet Месяц назад

Hey Penny and Del - great video! So interesting to see a caliper type like this. A question - given how tight the original pins were, would it not have made sense to put some anti-seize compound on the new pins? Thanks as always for sharing your knowledge in a way that is so easy to understand. Take care, dear friends. Be well and ride safe!

@Moonfleet41 Месяц назад

Hi buddy, always a contested one that... bcause with the presence of constant brake dust any wet substance turns in to thick sludge and acts the opposite of what it should... also I don't think I've ever seen brake pins that totally stuck, most of the time they will tap out, I don't think this was a case of no anti-seize, I think it was more of a case of no washing and cleaning and months of riding in wet, filthy weather! But either way, yes if you want to add a dab of anti-seize to your pins, it's not wrong! Thanks for your kind support, have a wonderful weekend, D&Px

@PAUL-yv2kk 29 дней назад

I wondered that too, but in addition to what Del said about attracting grit, I've always hesitated to put too much grease anywhere near the pads and discs. That said, pretty sure my Kawasaki Versys service manual stipulates a thin smear of silicone grease on the pins, so that's what I do anyway. Always enjoy and appreciate your "how to's" Del, thanks for your endeavours 😊

@Moonfleet41 29 дней назад

@@PAUL-yv2kk Thanks so much Paul, i think opinions on exact brake sertvice practice will always differ, and of course common sense must prevail im sure you agree, one thing i think we all agree on though is the need to keep brake calipers clean and free from crud as often as possible.. at least that way they're be easier to sertvice when the time comes.. Take care mate, and have a great wekeend aye.. D&Px

@rienvanutrecht3398 Месяц назад

I use some grease on the retainer pins, so they get out easy on the next time service, you put them in dry and aspecialy in the UK enviroment this might result in a struggle to get them out like you experianced in the first video, curious for your oppinion. Regards, Rien

@Moonfleet41 Месяц назад

As answered below, a wet substance on the pins can lead to a sludge build up from the brake dust, but I think the true remedy is a better cleaning regime on a day to day basis, rinse the calopers out after a wet ride, it only takes a moment and then they'll never get this bad... but as I said below, yes, a little anti-seize on them isn't wrong.

@DavidStevenson-gw2eo 29 дней назад

@@Moonfleet41 I recently serviced as set of Yamaha gold dot calipers and found that the new white salt they are using on the roads today is much more corrosive than the older brown rock salt they used to use, the mating surfaces between the backing plate of the pad and the alloy of the caliper was rotted outand badly pitted, this is due to the nature of steel to alloy which is the perfect situation for dissolving the metal of the softer alloy of the caliper. Yamaha are one of the better calipers with their special coating and or finish which normally stands up well to winter riding, especially the blue spot versions, I agree, always try to rinse off things instead of leaving them to fester over a weekend.
