Is the Past World Record Speed Gradually Approaching? ZZR1100D6 Fork/Caliper/Carb OH Swingarm Maintenance Tire Change and More

Various work is progressing simultaneously and things are subtly falling behind.
With all the procedures related to the move, my head is constantly in overdrive.

I’ll steadily progress from where I can.

The hyper-corroded caliper is quite a challenge

By the way, I couldn’t remove the piston from the first generation.
The reason I struggled was
resin was completely embedded in the recessed part of the piston .

If this part had been free, I could have removed it with a bearing puller, but I couldn’t do that either, so I had a tough time.

I was filming a video and forgot to take pictures….
This is how the dust seal area looks particularly bad.

If you think the brake caliper piston movement is poor,
an immediate overhaul is the quickest and most efficient solution . Spending time just washing it won’t fix it.

Time flows on…. I’m grateful for my equipment and tools every day

Since it’s not anodized and is raw, it naturally corrodes.
Although the body has some corrosion, it should still be usable.

While replacing seals during overhaul is important,
it’s even more important to clean the seal groove very thoroughly
and create a situation where the seal functions in the proper shape.

Always inspect individually. Feel the condition of the dust seal and oil seal

Dust seals have quite a bit of resistance.
So what does that mean? If the body side corrodes, movement becomes quite poor.

Rather than brake fluid leaking out,
the brake dragging and causing problems is more common I think.

Creating an environment where seals can move properly is important.
If it can’t be inserted smoothly individually, something is probably wrong.

After all, CCI Metal Rubber MR 20 is the best

One bottle lasts a long time, this chemical MR 20 Metal Rubber

I use it regularly when doing brake overhauls.
When you assemble with this, any seal slides in smoothly, which feels great.
The movement afterward is of course excellent, so it’s definitely a reliable chemical.

And that’s how the brake caliper overhaul is complete

It really feels good when the bolts are clean too.
This time I also used Honda OEM bolts for the brake caliper mounting bolts
