Which other calipers fit SV?
 

Hi all I have read all the threads about bleeding front brakes !!!! With not much luck I striped the calipers new seals and lines but brakes are crap !!!

So does any body know what other makes of calipers and off what bike i can put on my curvy which works !!


And can you get a tail tidy to fit my bike !!!!

Re: Brake clappers
 

did you clean out the seals recesses?

when serviced properly the SV brakes are well up to the job so either you have not bled them properly, installed seals wrong or MC is a bit dodgy.

I've got calipers here rebuilt ready to rock

But sounds like a full strip and clean

Re: Brake clappers
 

bled properly and well serviced the standard SV calipers are although distinctly budget; fine for road use, I've had many come to me as "just serviced and bled" and although appearing clean, they were far from "right", can you push the pistons in with one thumb ? and not meaning to question your skills, but have you bled brakes before?

if they are indeed as good as they can be, then you can get adapter brackets to fit GSXR 4 pot callipers.

Cheers Mark.

I have bled brakes many times
I striped down the calipers as i had 1 seized piston on each side
They where spotles when put back to gether

How much for the calipers ?

Does anyone have of the shelf adapters?

I've not seen "off the shelf" ones, but have fitted some a few years back, the owner got them off ebay as custom, but they had been CNC cut, so you'd have to search, there maybe a link on here somewhere have you looked ?

The ones I've got are £60 + £7.50 P+P.
Going to chuck another one in discs might be on the way out

Why a debacle? I found his webshop, I think I bought his rearset riser plates, I had to use my oem gixer link rod to get the rearsets into the top position, but other then that, they where ok quality for the price.
