Really? The pad guides are pretty worn. On good calipers the complete surface is flat.

no idea pal - sorting other stuff out - will have a look later, i have to stop spending now so if they won't do the job will have to re-asses.....but they cannot be that bad?!

to be fair as well the pistons i thought were toast....well looking back, they would have worked ok aside from one.....so i am starting to err on the side of it does not have to be crystal perfect to work.....

Re: Fitting FZ1000 Caliper to FZS600 - anutz - 30-05-15

let me see what they look like after a clean....

Re: Fitting FZ1000 Caliper to FZS600 - anutz - 30-05-15

ok so you are right again - no idea if this will affect them - anyone have any idea - have i got 51£ of junk?

If so then how do i proceed....can you do anything to them?


Re: Fitting FZ1000 Caliper to FZS600 - riedrider - 30-05-15

The pads can stick in the groove. I bought a pair of R1 front calipers and one of them had the same problem and I scraped it. On the auction pictures it was not possible to see it because the pads had been installed....

Re: Fitting FZ1000 Caliper to FZS600 - anutz - 30-05-15

cam you fix this or not i.e. can they be smoothed out or machined in any way

Re: Fitting FZ1000 Caliper to FZS600 - riedrider - 30-05-15

You can try to smooth it out but:
1) The pads will have more play in the guides which may leed to quick wear and negative effects on "brake feeling"
2) The surface of the R1 calipers is anodized to make them resistant to wear. You will loose that surface treatment. But like in your an my case this wear protection might be only something theoretical.

hmmm....

a new caliper OEM is 300$ so 200£ - and to be honest i don't have much more patience left with it right now....MOT is June 12th...

I can only see old FZs600 ones one bay, that would most likely, have their own issues....

have emailed powerhouse performance to see what they think of them and if they have ever dealt with the guides being worn...

looks like its not the bargin it seemed....but then as you say, how can you tell with pads in  :groan

Re: Fitting FZ1000 Caliper to FZS600 - riedrider - 30-05-15

Why do you not buy in Germany?
This one looks good an shipping is to Europe:

You could stop taking the step forward as a start point and that might help it :lol :lol :lol

The caliper, file it down a bit with a fine file to smooth it and it will be fine

i am taking a step forward....i am learning german...

The seller says that it has scratches an that the condition is visible on the pictures.
And he says that if the item has damages it would be listed in the description.
The pad guides look o.k.

Re: Fitting FZ1000 Caliper to FZS600 - anutz - 30-05-15

OK so...

Thanks for the idea riedrider.....might need it IF filing them down does not work....i have to try that first...

Unfazed...i shall give it a bash...


Re: Fitting FZ1000 Caliper to FZS600 - riedrider - 30-05-15

If you want to look for calipers yourself:
"Bremssattel hinten R1" or "Bremszange hinten R1" means "rear brake caliper R1"
