BIMOTA always has such wonderful design.
It’s so pristine that we have to protect and protect and protect it.
It’s built in such a fussy way—truly impressive. While we have things apart, let’s clean them up.
The calipers are covered in brake dust, so we’ll give them a good cleaning.
These days, with the right tools, we can get things really clean. After caliper cleaning, a light coat of oil on the body keeps everything in great shape much longer.
The pads are getting low, so we’ll swap them out.
We’ll clean the disc too. Those wave discs are scary to touch—you could cut your fingers just handling them.
The wheel bearing looks good—position and rotation are fine.
The axle looks fine too. The rear tends to get pulled a bit and shows some runout.
The caliper mount uses bolts and nuts—that’s unusual.
The bolt shank is short and not locked, so we’ll swap it for an MDN bolt.
Moving to the front—it’s really recessed. Our tools won’t fit, so we’ll have to find a workaround.
We found a tall nut in the scrap corner, so we’ll weld it and use it as a substitute.
That worked out nicely.
The distance collar was rattling around, so we adjusted it.
The front axle looks good.
The front calipers are pretty dusty too.
We cleaned both sides thoroughly.
We picked through the discs too.
We did a fluid change.
We’re holding off on the pads until they arrive.
