Hi Guys sorry I'm a newbie here, I'm having trouble on my 2002 Fazer 600 new shape. Rear Calliper need to change as the piston stuck already. can't find replacement on local breaker or ebay.
As my understanding you say Fazer 1000 01-05 will fit on my 600 fazer? like this one on ebay >>> [size=78%]http://www.ebay.ie/itm/01-05-Yamaha-Fz1-...4d168792d1[/size]


Thank you.

Thank you.

You don't need a new caliper, just fix your old one.
A seal kit and some fresh brake fluid costs a lot less than a new caliper.

Hi, my one I think badly damage hard to get the piston and saw some marks that looks like the previous mechanic hammered the caliper. So I'm thinking of better to change it with a better one.
thank you

Another thing to consider is what your insurance co thinks of a non standard caliper.

I actually had a thou caliper and indeed it seemed a nicer and more substantial bit of kit compared to the standard jobbie - but I cleaned it up and sold it on because I realised I was quite happy with the standard caliper already. Not worth the hassle in my case but if you can find one for the same cost or less than the standard one, why not.

The rear caliper is actually a front caliper off the FZ750, and I don't think it's actually such a bad caliper if looked after.

Although i haven't tried the 1000 caliper, i agree the standard one works just fine, with minimal maintenance.

I've fit a thou one to my 600 recently , main reason was that I wanted the 600 to feel similar in the braking department. I got stung by UK import duty when I imported one from the states "via e bay" at first I did not think it worth the a approx £100 , Now the pads have bedded into the disk, there is a huge improvment , I use a back brake a lot ,and now find much easier to feather the rear brake.Don't think i'd bother though if i didn't have the thou to compare it with, Payes yer money etc!

I think late model XJR1300s and early R1s have similar blue spot calipers.

I think the thou caliper is the only one that'll fit though.

This might be helpful

Just to get back to this.

I'm searching breakers now but am concerned I come away with a wrong part.

Which other yam rear calipers can be confused with the one we want and how do I tell the others apart from the thou one?
