Re: Rear Brakes?

[quote user="rubo"] yes i do have the hidden cliper mod and i did trim some of the inside of the swingarm.. And the cylinder does come out so i dont believe it could be stuck. [/quote] Here's some reading mat'l on this subject. I suggest you review all the threads within the topic as...

Master Cylinder 101

[quote user="Marco Polo"] Does that mean that that rubber gasket isn't supposed to suck in like the new one did or is that still normal even though the original designs didn't? [/quote]My .02 once again ..... the channeled accordion rubber gasket should suck in as the brake fluid is...

Re: Radial brakes on a 2003 Warrior?

TECK ... Radial mounted calipers REQUIRE the accompanying radial forks because of the caliper mounting bolts Just my .02 regarding design differences & methodology of the later years …. Changing to radial brakes on the '06' & > Warrior was cost effective for sharing calipers across...

Re: Increase braking power

Reza, not to be argumentative...The larger MASTER CYL bore equals more volume to the CALIPERS....hence less lever movement because of the increased displacement normally expressed in cubic inches or cubic centimeters. The down side is that the displaced fluid will not be at as high a pressure.....thus...

Re: Increase braking power

Reza, yup....6 piston calipers have more cubic inches and also more force....need more fluid for displacement of pistons or brake lever will bottom out on handle bar i suspect. Probably 20mm bore is ideal balance for design of system. Remember more fluid is not more force! More fluid is only faster displacement...

Front Brake Hydraulics 101

[quote user="wyomingwarrior"] Make sure you get the 11/16" for the dual caliper application. I looked at the same set (I think) but decided to go with the HHI control but in 9/16" cause I'm going down to a single caliper in the front. Here's a link for the one's I looked...

Increase braking power - 101

Reza, As stated: Larger bore larger AREA = more fluid displacement less pressure to the caliper pistons & less stopping power. Smaller bore smaller AREA = less fluid displacement and higher effective pressure to the caliper piston & more stopping power. Longer brake lines/hoses will cause...

Re: ISR Front Calipers

11mm or 12mmm Bore if you are using the 1-stock Warrior caliper. The smaller bore will give you more hydraulic pressure and better braking. Here's a link that i happened upon some while ago: http://www.mikesxs.net/mikesxs-chassis.php?category_id=1.2 quote: Originally posted by ram396 Any suggestions...

Re: Front brake constantly rubbing rotor?!?!?

Just my .02 ... assuming you have clearance @ the front brake lever adj scr and MC piston Technically, the flexure of the square piston seal when not under hydraulic pressure relaxes the piston and it’s the centrifugal force of the spinning rotor that repels the pads. The floating front rotors can create...
