  2. Rear Master Cylinders: CBR600F4i vs VFR800Fi1- Delinked Brake System 18 Mar 2023 20:08 Hi Folks, According to page 1-11 of the Service Manual, the Outer Diameter of the Piston of the Rear Brake Master Cylinder for the 5th Gen.

  3. Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul - Alternative Piston Removal Methods? 18 Mar 2023 19:15 7 minutes ago, bmart How much do you enjoy being covered by brake fluid? Ask the other things nearby the same. As per the following post, how do I debug what is happening at the Master Cylinder end?…
  4. Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul - Alternative Piston Removal Methods? 18 Mar 2023 15:58 3 hours ago, Mohawk If you have a little tyre air pump, you can use it to pop the pistons out. As previously stated remove the pads & then place them booth loose in the caliper. Then use brake M/C to pump pistons most…
  5. Brake Pedal Height? 18 Mar 2023 14:49 1 hour ago, toreckman Do you have a link or name of that delinking kit? It's in one of my posts for the following Topic: Rear Brake Bleed (Delinked/De-linked) - Caliper Mounting? Thanks!

  7. Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul - Alternative Piston Removal Methods? 17 Mar 2023 19:39 9 hours ago, VeeEffArah Also, what "parts fische" are you using, as all the ones I see shows the piston sizes with the part numbers. So that would be confirmation of sizes for the corresponding seals for each. I was…
  8. Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul - Alternative Piston Removal Methods? 17 Mar 2023 19:20 11 hours ago, Skids I assume you mean this method below using air pressure. Yes, there are tools you can get like pliers in reverse that you pull the piston out with. I'm sure someone has another method though.…
  9. Brake Pedal Height? 17 Mar 2023 19:12 6 hours ago, interceptor69 Mine has always had the barest of travel, even when new so never messed with it but sometimes wonder if it's doing anything, unless stomping on the rear brake when not pulling on the front.…
  10. Rear Brake Bleed (Delinked/De-linked) - Caliper Mounting? 17 Mar 2023 19:10 15 minutes ago, Skids Multiple Bike Disorder Ah, I remember now. 😄 I had that once. Well, still do actually with the human powered type.
  11. Rear Brake Bleed (Delinked/De-linked) - Caliper Mounting? 17 Mar 2023 18:33 1 hour ago, Skids Sorry, no clue m8, I've never seen a de-linked system so wouldn't know where to start. How much does the tip of your brake foot pedal move downwards? Off Topic: What does MBD mean? Thanks!
  12. Rear Brake Bleed (Delinked/De-linked) - Caliper Mounting? 17 Mar 2023 17:11 @interceptor69 FYI @Skids So, as per the TroubleShooting on page 15-4, I have a Brakelever/pedalhard situation. The Rod of the Master Cylinder only moves about 5mm which is how it always has been since I delinked…
  13. Rear Brake Bleed (Delinked/De-linked) - Caliper Mounting? 17 Mar 2023 14:17 5 hours ago, Skids Yup, a very lightly tightened calliper bolt through one of the disk holes will secure it in place. And I think you meant Chapter 15 of the SM, not 5. :beer: Oops , corrected, thanks!
  14. Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul - Alternative Piston Removal Methods? 17 Mar 2023 04:37 Hi Folks, Hoping I don't have to do this but ... Looking at the Parts Fiche diagram doesn't show any differences but the pictures of the Caliper Piston Seals, shown on the Online Stores and page 15-40 of the service…
  15. Rear Brake Bleed (Delinked/De-linked) - Caliper Mounting? 16 Mar 2023 22:23 17 hours ago, raYzerman Put the caliper bolts in and gently snug them is good enough until you're done. The idea is to have a rotor between the pads to keep the pistons from extending so far they'll pop out.... and to…
  16. Rear Brake Bleed (Delinked/De-linked) - Caliper Mounting? 16 Mar 2023 19:51 Hi Folks, It's been a LONG time since I bled the brakes and I can't remember what I did when I installed the lines for the delinking (de-linking). According to the bottom of page 15 - 9 of the Service Manual, it says…
  17. Brake Pedal Height? 15 Mar 2023 04:31 2 hours ago, bmart And some pics of where my '98 is and the moviement to actuate...which is minimal. I hope that these help! It looks about 1 cm at the front of the pedal, about the same as mine. Will bleed the brakes.…
  18. Brake Pedal Height? 15 Mar 2023 04:17 7 hours ago, Grum It refers to Push Rod Length. See this from the Rear Brake section of the Service Manual! Thanks, I missed that. Seems to check out.
  19. Brake Pedal Height? 14 Mar 2023 20:17 18 hours ago, bmart It doesn't matter much. Put it in the location where you can use it best/safest. Levers/pedals set to factory settings are usually quite far off from where they are most useful. What is a "normal"…
  20. Brake Pedal Height? 14 Mar 2023 01:13 Hi Folks, According to the Service Manual the Brake Pedal Height is supposed to be 67.5mm (2.66"). What is that height in relation to? Thanks!
