Re: Help! Problem with front brakes.
 

so you copper greased the calliper seals?

Re: Help! Problem with front brakes.
 

can you post up a pic?

Re: Help! Problem with front brakes.
 

Not a great idea to do that as the grease may attack the rubber of the seals. I doubt that this is the cause of your problems though although its possible that the seals have swollen.

Really should use a rubber friendly grease, red rubber grease is a favourite.

Yea I copper greased the pistons and seals, should I strip clean and re try with rubber grease? I will try and get a pic up tomorrow.

Any thoughts yet on my wheel concerns? To me it seems like the Disk mounting surfaces are too wide so the outside disk face rubs on the outside pads??

I'm clutching at straws though lol

Re: Help! Problem with front brakes.
 

You need new seals TBH
Copper grease ain't the best for rubber

Re: Help! Problem with front brakes.
 

depends on how long the copper grease has been on them. copper grease will swell the seals.

wait a minuet i think i see your problem...

k6 forks
k6 yokes
k6 callipers
SV 1000 wheel with SV1000 discs

SV1000 discs are 320mm and k6 gsxr are 310mm so discs will be rubbing on top of the gap on gsxr callipers.

Bollox wish I remembered red rubber grease yesterday, got to do the job again :(

Still this doesn't explain the par rubbing and lock up as it did that before I stripped the calipers?

Will definatly change the seals now though and use rubber grease

Re: Help! Problem with front brakes.
 

Bibio do I need k6 gsxr disks then?

Re: Help! Problem with front brakes.
 

yes or look for calliper spacers for radial callipers.

Re: Help! Problem with front brakes.
 

Ok how much do I need to space the calipers? Is it 5mm, does the 5mm spacer replace the little collar that is in the fork legs or do you put it in as well as that standard collar.

Or will k6 gsxr disks fit on my sv1000 wheel? That handy guide that was posted on sv rider about all the componants seems to have dissapered.
