THE GREAT B1H RESURECTION!!!

[Carbon_ZX6R]

right the forks have been switched over ,  ran into a problem with one calliper being seized to the mount so had to switch them also fitted the ones from the donor bike to mine and they appear to be rubbing(no lines connected or fluid) although all the fluid wouldn't drain from the nipple for some reason) and when I turn the wheel at a certain point there is a clink , ive checked my disks and cant see or feel anything , any idea what's causing this I'm not to good with brakes

[Andy M]

can you fit the other wheel with discs into your and see if the problem is eliminated? If so you might have warped disc on yours which wasn't showing up with brake pads that were less worn and sat further apart from the disc in the calipers.
Or possibly the wheel and disc in the donor is not from that bike but something else that fits that year and the gap to discs is slightly different?

I suppose it could be warped disks mine had no meat left on the pads and these have loads and it only seems to be the right disk . although the disks on my bike have only done 13k , ( the wheels are identical as are the disks the all oem)

[Carbon_ZX6R]

ill check the disks hopefully tomorrow if I have time , if its not the disks what are the other possibility's? if I'm having to replace the disks for the price of them I might as well get a 320mm conversion kit ,with brembo m4 callipers , but I'm not sure how the m4 is as a calliper but if they do need replacing it has to be an upgrade or I begrudge the bike the money

[Carbon_ZX6R]

not had time to check the disks properly but did have a look and the offending calliper just doesn't look right the pads don't seem to sit how they should

very hard to see in the photo

[Green_Ninja]

you could at least have given them a clean

[Carbon_ZX6R]

right I switched the wheels over it is still doing the sound I recorded it best turn volume up

in my opinion its not the disks both wore fine before they wore switched over but the callipers off the diner bike looked fucked , could it have anything to do with the pads just not sitting right?

also tried to drain the rear mc and res via the bleed nipple and nothing? had old fluid in it , is it just gunked up or am I doing it wrong?

If youre happy with the wheels and discs being true, then change the pads and see if that helps. Personally, unless its effecting the bikes braking id not be too worried

Re the rear caliper, id use an eeziebleed type device which pushes fluid through under pressure from the M/C. Ive got one you can borrow if you dont want to buy one. Id need it back asap though as i need to do my car at some point

[Carbon_ZX6R]

I've got a mity vac like thing(is that similar?) that sucks it out and it didn't budge the fluid out the res , ordered a new hrc res and it's gunked to hell , I do need to sort the front brakes and see if they are biting, I want to change the calipers just not sure what ones to use , I'd like a direct bolt on if possible

[Maddog]

Well the calipers on the B1/K1 are the same as the 04/05 ZX10 and i know a direct replcement is the ZX6r/ZZR Nissin Calipers as i have them on my 04 ZX10. I picked mine up for about 80 quid so may be worth a punt. The Nissin calipers are much better than the standard Tokico calipers

Mittyvac i presume sucks? The eeziebleed pushes and is used at about 20 psi. Id give the eezie bleed a go as ive never had an issue with it

I may try something like that when I've got time , with me starting new job Monday my times going to be less free , I've searched high and low for the missing zx6r calipers there rare as shit and the ones you can get are a fair bit , plenty of later zx10r calipers don't suppose they fit? I don't mind having to buy spacers and longer bolts but I don't want to machine anything , options people?

[Maddog]

On my 2004 ZX10 the direct replacement for the std calipers were the 2009 ZX6/ZZR1400  Nissin calipers.

[Maddog]

So Gen 3 ZX6R calipers should fit.

problem with that is there rare as fuck , the nissin callipers are very few and far between ive seen sets go for between £150-£250
