The work itself gets done quickly, but since there’s basically a lot of work involved, it tends to fall behind.
Even though I’m cutting back on work quite a bit, things don’t always go as smoothly as you’d hope. Anyway, continuing from yesterday, let’s do the rear brake caliper and master overhaul.
I think those with older manuals probably won’t have any issues, but the overhaul kit sold as a set for the domestic GSX1100SR/Y has been discontinued.
So ordering individual parts from the old parts list should be the safest bet. Also, since you never know when these kinds of parts will be discontinued, it’s a good idea to buy them while you can.
Just to be safe, let me do a new vs. old comparison (*´ω｀*)
The dimensions are exactly the same, so you can use it with confidence. Since it’s the same brake master, that’s only natural…
Even if you use the rear brake master, please do an overhaul around 10 years.
The umbrella has already closed and transformed into a different part. As for symptoms that occur when the rear master gets worn,
• Return port gets clogged causing rear lock • Fluid leakage from the rear master rod section • Rear brake feel becomes mushy These kinds of things can happen, so be careful. Strictly speaking, if you do the overhaul now, you should be fine for the rest of your life?
When I peeled off the boot, rust juice came out and it was all gooey. It was a moment when I felt the wonderfulness of Japanese brake masters that work even in this condition.
I also gave the dirty parts a thorough wet blasting to finish them off.
This small return port can rot and clog, which increases the likelihood of rear lock, so be careful. For example, if the return port of a clutch master gets clogged, it can result in a subtle half-clutch condition and sometimes make the bike unable to run, so caution is necessary.
Due to supply issues, I removed rust from the parts being reused and applied gun coat. It really does feel good to assemble things after cleaning individual parts.
I cleaned up the rear caliper corrosion with wet blasting.
It really does feel good to assemble after cleaning. The piston movement also seems smoother somehow.
There was a mysterious dust boot attached, but did we have it in stock?
A relatively large 24φ boot was installed. It was probably included with the backstep.
The part number label was old and read 69???-00A00.
Like this, the rear brake caliper &and master overhaul are complete. Air bleeding is also done and the feel is solid, so you can ride with confidence.
All that’s left is to get the inspection next week and we’re done.
