washing, rinsing with hot water
\nWashing, rinsing with hot water
\nWashing\u2026
\nThat should be good enough, I think.
\nThere’s no end to it.
\nThis is a stock GSF1200 caliper that’s going to be installed on a Bandit 1200.
\nI’ve already disassembled it.
\nThe seal interior shows almost no corrosion\u2014it’s in great shape.
\nI wonder if the anodizing is doing its job.
\nThe pistons are aluminum, so I’ll assemble them.
\nThey’re light \u2605 and smooth.
\nI’m measuring roughly with calipers,
\nAluminum
\nSmall piston: 30.15\u03c6 \u00d7 22.55
\nLarge piston: 33.85\u03c6 \u00d7 22.55
\nSteel
\nSmall piston: 30.15\u03c6 \u00d7 22.6
\nLarge piston: 33.9\u03c6 \u00d7 22.55
\nThat’s what I got. These aren’t precise measurements, so take them as reference only\u2026
\nI use a T-shaped brush on the rotary tool to remove debris \u2605
\nReplace the split bolts with new ones, apply grease, tighten to spec, and we’re done!
\nWaiting on the rear pistons!
\nThe customer sure knows their stuff.
