#239767 warstar (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 253 Need calipers?? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   I'm getting ready to list some front and rear brake calipers on EBAY... since most of the stuff I've sold has been to Roadie Forum guys I thought I would offer it here and save me some time and coin. These are like new calipers with pads and clips...etc. complete assem. I have brake lines as well. These are from an '06 Roadie 1700. Make me an offer for each...or the combination. -Luke   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #239877 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:Need calipers?? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Hey Luke, I've an '01 1600. I think my front brakes are truly pitiful. Someone chime in here... the later '06 1700 calipers are different, are they not? And don't they work a far cry better than the earlier brakes? Who knows the answer to my question? I'm willing to be a buyer, if my stoppers can be improved. Oh, and maybe I should add... I have an '01 V-Star 1100 Custom, and the front brakes on it are fantastic! Why the diff, I wonder? They look to be about identicle.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/25 07:52 By Questcap.   Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #239887 jamie99roadstar (User) As confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar. Platinum Boarder Posts: 3364 Re:Need calipers?? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   The 1600 and 1700 are different. I think you also need to swap to the later rotors when doing the swap.   Logged     Feenstras Towing   The administrator has disabled public write access. #239893 warstar (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 253 Re:Need calipers?? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   I think that they are different... You would have to do some research. I do have one front rotor available as well, if that helps. $150.00 if you want both calipers and a rotor. -Luke   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/25 08:31 By warstar.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #239896 warstar (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 253 Re:Need calipers?? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   If you search a yamaha site that offers a parts fiche... you could compare the part numbers from 01 to 06. see what swaps and what doesnt. -   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #239911 erizo (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1469 Re:Need calipers?? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   jamie99roadstar wrote: The 1600 and 1700 are different. I think you also need to swap to the later rotors when doing the swap. not neccesarily. i put the R1 calipers on my `01 about 4 years ago using the original rotors, and had no problems. you can use opposed piston calipers on non-floating discs (like BMW did on their first bikes using the opposed 2 pot brembos), but it does pay to keep the calipers clean to avoid any problems such as a piston binding. having said that, it´s part of normal brake maintainence anyway.   Logged     be realistic - demand the impossible!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #239917 chromepony (User) There's no such thing as too much chrome Platinum Boarder Posts: 1341 Re:Need calipers?? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   I'm not real happy with the front brakes on my '00. Did the R1 calipers improve the braking? Is it a "straight" swap?   Logged     ...I love the smell of smoked pork on a warm summer night!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #239925 erizo (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1469 Re:Need calipers?? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   chromepony wrote: I'm not real happy with the front brakes on my '00. Did the R1 calipers improve the braking? Is it a "straight" swap? yep, R1 or R& monoblocks are a straight swap as the bolt holes are identical. like i posted above, you can use the original discs without any problems. combined with stainless braided lines (i made replicas of the original lines as i don´t like the look of 2 lines going up to the brake master on the bars)the braking is improved to the point that at town speeds i can stop with just a couple of fingers pressure on the lever. worth doing   Logged     be realistic - demand the impossible!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #240020 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2279 Re:Need calipers?? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   what year R1's fit what year Roadies?   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #240148 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:Need calipers?? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Friends , any change from the 99-03 Roadie front braking system is a Vast improvement. They were truly bad. 150.00 for Warstar's 1700 set up would really put a smile on some one's face. BB   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
