February 24, 200422 yr My son's TXT 80 has a lovely 4-pot caliper that I'm thinking would make a dandy replacement for the 2-pot one on my 2.9. I need more stopper than he does! Anybody know if the master cyl is the same for 2 and 4-pot calipers? On some bikes (non-trials) you need a new master for moving the extra fluid.
February 25, 200422 yr Just move the whole assembly, No bleeding ten minute job! Don't you hate it when some smart a*** comes up with the bleeding obvious.
February 25, 200422 yr charlie you will never know if you dont try now that has to be the most obvious.
February 25, 200422 yr I say go for it. BUT dont forget if he remenbers this in late life you could be in for some serious bettings if you breack his bike. . Gavin
February 25, 200422 yr Not sure about ajp, but the jap master cylinders have the bore size stamped on them. If the bore size of the master cylinder is the same for both bikes, it will work. If there are no bore sizes, try it out for size.
February 25, 200422 yr Author Just move the whole assembly, No bleeding ten minute job! Don't you hate it when some smart a*** comes up with the bleeding obvious. Duh! What's worse, doing too much work, or finding out you're a dope? Thanks, Lineaway!
February 26, 200422 yr I bet little Charlie 2 uses more than 1 finger on his brake anyhow. Am I right big Charlie 1?
February 26, 200422 yr Author All 4! Sometimes I think he's tempted top reach over with the other hand!
February 27, 200422 yr Does it mean "Stop being abrasive you Ba$+@rd?" Just another guess. Where's that Latin book? You DO know it's a dead language don't you? Edited February 27, 200422 yr by Brian R
February 28, 200422 yr Author Very close! It means "Don't let the *******s grind you down" And it's fake Latin. Like conjugating the verb, to spit: "Spittus, spattus, ach tui, splattus" Latin jokes are never gut-splitters.
February 29, 200422 yr Author Update: The switcheroo is not a simple swap. I would have to shave a few thou off the mounting bosses of the Hebo caliper and shim the AJP out just as much for it to work...so the disk would be properly centered. Looks like I'll have to save my allowance and buy new. In the meantime, I have stepped on the scale and it has read, after a long, hard winter, 205 American pounds. I don't know how many stone (stones?) that is, because I think we have different size stones here...and they don't all weigh the same. I have decided to remove my rear brake and take the safety wire out of my tool roll to save weight.
March 1, 200422 yr Charlie, I just looked on the RYP site and they have the 4 piston AJP front brake caliper asembly listed for $110. https://secure.rypusa.com/prodpage.cfm?Cat_...ct_Selected=188 Wayne
