We received a request for inspection, Newtech oil change, Sunstar TR12SSB disc, and rear master tank installation on the increasingly popular Z750FX-1. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The nostalgic Z250FT disc was installed. It’s extremely worn, so we were asked to replace it. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It’s worn down quite nicely. T=3.00MM <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I figured I should measure it anyway… but the moment I placed it on the table, the offset was quite different… (a moment of silence) *In my head, I’d planned to swap it out and be done right away.

Well, well… <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I checked the axle shaft as usual… how does it look? <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I thought, why not just add a spacer for the increased offset and thin down the outer spacer?

But then
if I use a thin spacer + existing spacer + support + existing thinned spacer, the parts configuration increases…
Even though I had the thought that if they never come back…

No, that won’t do\u2014with a clear conscience, I fabricated a spacer with the increased offset (since it was a fit-check, I installed it, removed it, ground it about five times). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It has decent weight and a nice feel to it.
It really shows\u2014this was designed by a Kawasaki enthusiast (a Z1R fan)… impressive. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And that’s how we got it installed (waiting on pads).

Did you know Daytona makes sintered pads for CP2696? 97175 really helps out\u2014lots of things. <\/a>
Lately, Daytona, Kijima, and other manufacturers have been doing amazing development work. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We removed the muffler and changed the oil. I just can’t warm up to this Motul green color… <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That’s a pretty tight installation… isn’t it hard to remove the side cover? <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Tight brake hose routing + the cover got shaved too… well, it’s okay. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We kept things simple and went with a master stay (nutless = one tool does it all). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That’s how we mounted it. Heat should be fine, probably. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Japanese OEM rear master hoses are pretty thick. Here we went with OEM reuse\u2014
using the front one, you can convert directly to Nissin (7\u03c6). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
[After] Wouldn’t it be clearer if people said 8\u03c6 instead? <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
[Before] The insertion clearance, depth, outer diameter, and so on are pretty much the same. (keeping in mind it’s plastic and used) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It wouldn’t come out… wouldn’t turn… what is this? We ended up having to remove the master.

It got so corroded and seized up solid. Realizing the power of nature, we forced it out with brute strength. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We managed to get it clean like this. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This one too <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Out of focus… turned out like this. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We cleaned up the outside too (lightly). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We routed the brake hose to the outside. It would look cooler if we dropped the brake hose straight down at 90 degrees (maybe next time).
We also routed the tank hose with plenty of slack. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We secured it with ultra-low-profile fasteners. Once we install the brake pads, we’re done. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42506,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pochipp_cv_data":"","swell_btn_cv_data":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1924],"tags":[64,122,115],"class_list":["post-42529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-everyday-events","tag-oil-change","tag-vehicle-inspection","tag-z-aircooled"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42529"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42529\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
