does anyone know where to buy rebuild kits for calipers for a 93 yzf 750r
do you definitely need to rebuild your calipers? i say this because i have a set of the same six pots fitted to your bike on my fzr1000. i wanted to refit them after having R1 calipers on it for a few years (to take it back to standard). Mine had been in my shed for 3+ years and were ratty when i took them off.
What i did was put some fresh brake fluid in and leave them for a few days (to be absorbed into the seals). i them put some 5/8 plywood between the pads and got my airline on it. Most of the pistons popped out (with a good bang). If they were stuck i used cable ties to hold the plywood against any pistons thet were free, so the siezed pistons were subjected to the pressure. Eventually all the pistons freed up and and took all of them out one at a time and cleaned them up carefully with a rag (fortunately they are stainless steel).
i then reassembled using the original oil-seals and dust seals and none leaked and the brakes are like new. might be worth a try, seals for 2 calipers each with 6 pots coould get very expensive!
as an aside i found a company via google that sell seal kits which were cheap <£5 where you just specify piston size, sorry i cant remember who they were.
good luck

dont think an exup engine will go in and tank is different, but an exup tank may fit. wheels are the same, i think.

real piss£d off, got knocked off today; riding round the roundabout underneath of J25 of the M5 at taunton this afternoon, in the middle lane doing maybe 25-30, when a car sat in a queue in the lefthand lane pulled straightout and into the side of my bike (the tdm850) and me.
Initially my leg and foot get crushed between the car and my bike, then the bike topples over and i hit the deck. momentarily pass out and then jump out of the way of the lorry that was behind me as clearly stopping at the scene of accident is too much for him. Car seems to drive off, i think he had second thoughts when he saw a biker waiting for recovery (it turns out also from brizzle) and stops little past the junction.
Guy who knocks me off seems to think it was my fault, saying i am too fast and was in his blind spot; actually i was going quite steady and surely he should have looked properly.
biker waiting for recovery lifts bike up and calls an ambulance for me. car driver who knocked me off seems keen to get on his way and badgers me for my details, i just felt too shitty to say.
anyway taken to hospital (musgrove park), given the all clear - tho i can barely walk on my foot - and get a taxi back to bike so it can be recovered by RAC contractor, wait 3 1/2 hours from first phone call to rac to being recovered.
sat down now with a brew..............totally fed up, love bikes, but feel like iv had enough, 2 accidents in 6 months neither of them my fault, is there any point bothering?

people laugh at me (mainly in work) cos i run a battered mondeo. but i really don't enjoy driving a car, there are a few advantages of cars for me: load lugging, i can chuck all my stuff in my car no-sweat and tow a trailer etc, cars are by-and-large cheaper to run (insurance and fuel excepted) and i can listen to the radio, other than that bikes win out every time.
its a fairly soulless experience driving even quick cars (slow by bike standards), you can tell people who ride or have ridden bikes as they are always more passionate about bikes than cars.

Is it normal to resurface a brake rotor on a motorcycle? or do people just replace them because of how thin they are?
as you say replace only, far too thin to resurface.

under the seat? under the tank?
these schematics might help:

if it isnt a drain hose then its:
an inline 'air filter' that runs from the engine breather to the airbox. the idea is that fumes from the breather are vented to the engines intake (so pollutant emissions are lower and burnt off), the filter ensures no debris is allowed to be sucked up the breather and into the engine.

what a bike, what an engine......wish i had one.
need pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fyi, the slave cylinder on my fzr1000 weeps a little and loses fluid over a long period of time, but it has never, ever been a problem as long as i don't let the resevoir run-down.

some auto-engineers may have a diamond tipped drill-ream and will drill out the old nipple. Doesnt matter if there are broken off drills etc in there. Then they will helicoil it for you.
thats the route id take, if calipers are scarce.

didn't some the guys who used to ride british singles in the 50s/60s, wrap sheet lead off cuts around the bars (near the grips) to damp out the vibes? always worth a try.

commiserations on the spill. i made this mistake at 17/18 and it affected my riding for a while. dont let it over shadow the way you ride

might be worth asking on the tdm forum (google for it). i have a 98 4tx and i think 3vd and 4tx will be different, i dont mind being wrong tho.
-
it may be also due to the fact that they are doing these things on 0% finance. Allows them to get something back on the deal (the finance is still provided by Blackhorse, who must charge yamaha something for doing it). Still works out cheaper than the 08 price with premium interest.
if you are buying cash still look to haggle; i would.

the schematic half way down should tell you what you need

surely you need to speak to a dynojet technician to be sure?
best bet, ebay the one you've got and put the profit towards the PC for the empty-owe-three

pretty much any commie bike/car which is out of production is heading for classic status of some form. that cz is kinda cool. In berlin there are loads of old Simson Schwalbes. Apparently they are appreciating quite fast now and are popular amongst young professionals. If you look at eastern block design its very similar to western until the mid-60s, when the iron curtain became a far greater barrier, at which point their designing pretty much stood-still.
