Excellent video! Very helpful, thank you 👍🏻

Looks beautiful. Nice work Mate. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@baconbuttties]

Cheers 👍

[@davidupton3186]

Haynes recommend using the master cylinder to pump out the pistons, two at a time. They also say to leave the blue spots alone.

[@baconbuttties]

Do it the Haynes way then...Quick question, how do you pump out the other two once you have lost brake pressure?

[@f109ged]

Nice instructions, thanks. I'd have been tempted to apply heat with my hot air gun to ease the piston removal.

[@baconbuttties]

I did use a hot air gun and grips on the rear brake calliper on the fazer as it was stuck solid.

Satisfying Watch Bacon butties I've used copper grease before on the back of brake Pads to stop squeaks it dissipates the vibrations!!Great Video!

[@baconbuttties]

Thanks 👍

[@dirtygarageguy]

Copper grease doesn't work.

[@markogorsek5972]

I ordered a set of these seals from the link you provided. I have the same CALIPER as you. Although in the description it says models from 1998 - 2003 and my Yamaha FZS6 is year model 2007. I believe it will fit. Hopefully. Thanks for the video appreciate it!

[@baconbuttties]

Glad it helped 👍

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello 👋, great video how to refurbish these bike brake calipers,they seem very easy to sort out and put back together.

[@baconbuttties]

👍

[@olly9172]

In addition to my post: 30 Nm are more correct then 40Nm. You do not gain any advantage when tightening up these plugs too hard. And maybe a little tipp in loosening the brakepistons, when you can`t get your hands on a special tool as seen in this video: Remove the brake pads, and put a little peace of wood between the 4 brakepistons. In breaking with the handlever, you will have a good control over these pistons, in loosening them when corrosion seems to be a problem. Just leave the brake calipers on the fork, and start massaging those pistons out.

[@baconbuttties]

[@wawanoconer8606]

Hallo sir, nice video ,iam from indonesia Sory ,i want to ask is, are the nozzles the same as motorbikes in general? mine is lost Thk

[@OlliB8s]

@baconbuttties can you recall what torque settings you used to nip up the blue inserts? I am doing the same on my gold spots and cant find the OEM settings anywhere.

[@baconbuttties]

I don't think there are any official torque settings out there, best guess was my method.

[@baconbuttties]

By feel is what I mean.

[@mickeymouse4897]

Recently overhauled my Blue spot calipers on my old FZS1000, made the mistake using pattern but so called quality seals, never again, all went together easy, very time consuming cleaning out the crap from the seal grooves tho, Lockheed red brake grease on seals & pistions, all went in smooth as can be, after a month or so, pulled calipers off for a clean & inspection, pistons were tight as fook to push back in, virtually impossible by hand, needed a strong plastic tool, even then it was a struggle... Lesson learned, never buy pattern brake seals, they're just crap & made to wrong dimensions.

[@baconbuttties]

👍👍

[@charlieross-BRM]

"Pattern" is not a term I've heard used in Canada. Is that anything like "generic" or "no-name" aftermarket parts?

[@jonny-p-8927]

Can't you take the caliper off and pump the front brake until pistons pushes out ?

[@baconbuttties]

Some people have said they have managed to get pistons out that way. All depends if any pistons are seized.

[@The_Rejected_Son]

The tool for pulling the positions, happen to have a link for it?

[@baconbuttties]

I borrowed the puller kit so not sure where to buy. Sorry

[@istvankis4089]

Many thanks for this video. I have got same calipers on my FJR 1300 Yamaha. Please let me know where can I buy a tool for piston removal what did you use? I am looking forward your answer.

[@baconbuttties]

I borrowed the tool removal kit of my brother which I think he purchased off eBay

[@istvankis4089]

[@brycechadis3610]

All we wanted to know was what tool did u use to get the blue caps off

[@baconbuttties]

Did it help?

[@olly9172]

How many Newtonmeters go with the blue plugs ? I tried to measure it out while loosen them up, I guess round about 30-40Nm. But I`m not sure. And maybe it would be a good idea to give them some Loctite screwlock as well.....?! What do you think ?

[@baconbuttties]

Probably doesn't need loctite and I just did them up roughly the same as they were done up as I don't think they need to be super tight.

[@dirtygarageguy]

@@baconbuttties Yamaha tells you NOT to remove the plugs. That's why there's no torque figure given and why there's no replacememt o rings.

[@baconbuttties]

@@dirtygarageguy I also bought replacement o rings.

[@baconbuttties]

@@dirtygarageguy I don't know why you are getting so worried about it. Anything that is screwed in can be removed, also you can buy replacement o rings. It can be done and I did do it.

[@zingrock]

@@dirtygarageguy I've come to the conclusion that Yamaha didn't think 30 years into the future when they made the manual. At this point, if the best way of removing the pistons is to remove the blue spots, then thats what you have to do

[@terrybell5957]

Where did you purchase the replacement blue spots?

[@baconbuttties]

What do you mean by replacement spots?

[@Maxlalala1986]

Man i need these tools to service my same calipers. Where do you live? Could i bring the caliper to you?

[@baconbuttties]

The blue spot tool doesn't cost that much.

[@1369bazz]

Whats the torque setting for the spots? Just done a set of silver spots

[@baconbuttties]

As far as I know there are no torque settings available for the centre spots. I gave mine my best guess by feel.

[@1369bazz]

@@baconbuttties no leaks

does the grease not contaminate the brake fluid?

[@baconbuttties]

the brake fluid is not supposed to go past the lower seal

[@chrishendry1480]

What did you use to clean the pistons up with?

[@baconbuttties]

I think it was some kind of metal polish

[@chrishendry1480]

@@baconbuttties excellent I thought as much. I need to do mine too. Great video 👍

@@chrishendry1480 Thanks 👍

[@dikxy6266]

Is it 30mm and 27mm piston size?

[@baconbuttties]

Not sure on the exact size.

[@The_Rejected_Son]

My pistons won’t budge either, actually bending the center of them 😢

[@baconbuttties]

Yes the can get really stuck. Not good.

[@vikingbiker]

Dont hammer your pistons out of the calliper!!!!! Use the break pressure to pop the pistons out, pistons and calipers aren't designedto be taking a shock like that. don't remove the blue spot cap there is no known torque setting for them, Yamaha's own workshop manuals say do not remove for rebuilds.

[@baconbuttties]

I removed them and rebuilt them and I bought a tool to do it. Do you think it is going to disintegrate if you remove them? Also you have used way too many exclamation ‼️ marks.

[@vikingbiker]

@@baconbuttties I've certainly done dummer things in the past, but when your putting videos on YT you need to be careful, someone's gonna copy ya and fuck thier calipers up.

[@baconbuttties]

@@vikingbiker If they copy me then they wont because like I keep saying, I successfully refurbished them. If the job was a perfect success then how have I damaged them? Please tell me. Also I tapped them with a small hammer and a piece of rubber which did no damage at all as the pistons are made of strong metal not cheese.

[@djlancer88]

Are the brakes still holding up nowdays? I'm hoping to try this method@@baconbuttties

[@baconbuttties]

@@djlancer88 I actually gave the brakes to my brother and he is putting them on his TDM850 rebuild... So they haven't been used yet.
