The time has come where my rear brake is now longer functioning as it should.  To my knowledge it's never needed any remedial work so it's time to have it serviced.
Lacking the skills to do it myself I'm entrusting my local garage with it.  The said it would be cheaper to get a kit myself.


Question is....do I need the full kit with bleed nipple etc... or just a kit with the seals?  I'm going to have the pistons changed too.
Been advised to avoid Ebay ones as they aren't the best but I'll be guided by yourselves on that front?


And advice on kits would be most welcome.  And pads whilst I'm there.....

Quick question, what chain and sprocket sets do you all use/favour for a Gen 1 thou??

Hello

I have an issue, I have damaged the sticker???? chassis identifier.  First I sprayed over it, then tried wiping the spray off and the whole thing just wiped clean, no text left what so ever.

How do I put a new one on?  Where do I get them from?

Any help will be great.

Thanks

I bought my '03 from the 2nd owner. He actually bought it from a shop. The first unknown owner installed a Yosh slip on. I've put almost 20,000 miles on the bike and it has always run perfect. Fires up instantly, idles perfect, butter smooth all the way up to redline. No popping or anything. Probably the best running bike I've ever owned.


Does it sound like it was jetted for the pipe? I ask because I'm going to call and see if Dale at Holeshot still has a set of headers for it and I'm not sure if I'm going to have to address the carbs. I know he runs a stage one jet kit with slip ons and full exhausts so if mine is already jetted I should be good to go. And yes it has the stock airbox.


What do yall think?
