hamill_glen Report post Posted July 18, 2016 Have recently changed the master cylinder on my sherco to ajps . And put a new set of front break pads on to but keep having problem with the front breaks sticking . I've managed to free the Pistons but they just keep sticking on ! Anyone able to advise me on this problem ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billyt Report post Posted July 19, 2016 So read the title of this thread on the front page list. "Sherco Breaks" I wonder what broke the Sherco? Thought I would take peek. Turns out it was about sticking BRAKES.............. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eagle8 Report post Posted July 19, 2016 Yes i think you should put the correct spelling in!!! otherwise it doesn't make Shercos look that good! nobody wants to hear of a broken Sherco!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lockie28 Report post Posted July 19, 2016 sticking suggests ......... pistons in the caliper need looking at / seals replaced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huski Report post Posted July 19, 2016 Put an AJP calliper on it,the formula ones were unreliable 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pauls320 Report post Posted July 19, 2016 I concur, your half way there, do it right and go with an AJP caliper instead of wasting time, expense on the unreliable turdula caliper 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomevans Report post Posted July 19, 2016 When the front caliper on my sherco went i found it wasnt much more expensive to change the caliper to the indestructible ajp 4 pot, but you will need a new hose at the same time. Another thing to look out for is the rear brake caliper, make sure you keep plenty of pad in these as the pistons in the rear caliper are very short and are easily damaged if they come out too far, mine started cocking to one side and wouldn't return once they came out and in the end i replaced the whole system with ajp and havent had a problem since. Also if you do in future decide to change to an ajp rear, make sure you change the rear wheel disk side spacer to the thicker one 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splatshop Report post Posted July 21, 2016 The new Braktec callipers use an M8 banjo, they are slightly more expensive but you don't need to swap the hose: http://www.splatshop.co.uk/braktec-4-pot-front-brake-calliper-silver.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
