RIrons

thanks

Can anyone tell me what the screw at the bottom of the end can is for, One has one fitted and is siezed, the other is missing, I guesed this was to keep the baffles in but the one without a screws nothing moves. Not sure if these come apart or not. I woudl liek to get the baffles to clean. Plus ahs anyone tried to resking the cans, mine are allwelded up but i reckon its doable, or is there a hidden danger Any advice appreciated.

I have now found a full set of seals and joint rings from Powerhouse, you can use the RGV250 ones but they retails at 5 or 6 quid from a suzuki(wash my mouth out) dealer, half that price at Powerhouse. Thanks for all the suggestions

Cheers guys, I had thought of O rings, jsut concerned with the brake fluid attacking them, I'll try the 350 club. I also know you shouldn't split them. but without doing so the pistons were never coming out. They had been very badly kept. I have the originals so they may reuse.

Can anyone please advsie where I can get hold of the 2 small round seals that go betwwen the 2 halves of a 2 piston caliper, they seal the fluid track from one half to the other. Searched the i'internet and can't find anything as yet.

Thanks all, there was no lip at all, I have however removed the little buggers, I used a grinding head on my dremel and made a recess under the bearing cup, then using a drift managed to get the offending article(s) out. Frame now at powder coaters, great joy! Previoulsy tried a bit of heat, well a lot of heat but nothing was moving them.

My F2 has taper roller bearings in the stearing head, does anyone know how to remove the cups from the frame, there is absolutely no lip to allow them to be tapped out with a drift. Before is go at them with a blow torch

just to let everyone know the the power valves off e-bay are great, they came from legend motorcycles, you don't get the bolt and the pins so keep the old one, I also bought a set of bushes and connecting coupling from Australia, cost around £65 delivered, bargain!

thanks, I tried Norbo, but need them quicker, I plumbed for the E-bay version, but you have now opened up a fantastic source with Norbo which I didn;t know about (new to this game) Cheers

Having just stripped my recently aquired 1989 F2 engine, one of the power valves is completly shot, has anyone any experience of the billet valves advertised on Ebay?
