    WOW! Congrats on the LMs4. What a find. I didn't like these when they came out. But they've grown on me over the years. I thought it was too much plastic, but now it seems the right amount. MG Bug? More like a fever! Antibiotics won't help you!Not sure the extent of the your mechanic's...

    Front caliper pistons not retracting !!!

    Use a 50/50 mix of automatic transmission fluid and acetone as a penetrating oil. Last resort a little heat. Do be advised there is an o-ring between the two halves that should be replaced. Hopefully it is in the rebuild kit for the caliper.For your information:April 2007 "Machinist's...

    Dangerous Issue: Random Kickstand Deployment. Requesting HELP ASAP.

    The shouldered nut to which people have been referred has already been routinely tightened and I did use red locktite. That wasn't the issue.I rebuild the kickstand today. Tightened up a massive amount of play between the ears of the kickstand and used caliper grease. The effort required to...

    I have built a special based on a 1979 SP1000.I delinked the brakes and fitted a front master cylinder off a Japanese sports bike.The original brembo item is only designed to operate a single disc.I rebuilt the calipers and replaced the fluid.Also fitted stainless braided hoses to further...

    Forgive me father for I have sinned.

    ...our disks with Al-Oxide sandpaper)I saved the disk which is a big savings, the brake pucks were shot.After checking into a caliper rebuild kit with pucks for $ 65, I purchased a new Brembo caliper with pads instead for $115, a pair of banjo fitting crush washers $2, DOT 5.1 fluid $15 or...

    Warning - Brake Service Kit- (or lack of)

    I ran into this same problem trying to rebuild the Brembo 'Goldline' calipers on my Ducati GT1000. After some research by a friendly parts lady at Munroe Motors in San Francisco I found that Brembo had indeed stop supplying rebuild kits directly in the US. They wanted every bike manufacturer to...

    Le Mans 4 - I got a whole bunch of questions...

    How long have you had the LMs4? I would not mod anything till you have the OE working properly. Rebuild caliper as you said and check the MC for firmness. They shouldn't be squishy, if they are rebuild them too, then change the pads if you want try out different types. You may want to get...

    Building a seat... And other stuff.....

    So probably not the original trees. I know the bars aren't so the front caliper is most likely from wherever the firms came from. I have a set of the original front shocks that I am going to rebuild. I guess I need to track down some original trees and a front Master... Hmmmm.....

    Spada rear caliper alignment

    Hi. I'm getting close to completeing my rebuild of an '81 Spada as a G5. The rear caliper is completely rebuilt, seals, pads, pistons etc. But on bolting it on, though it slides over the disc easily, as the bolts holding it to the caliper mount are tightened, the disc binds. It dosn't lock up...

    Caliper rebuild question

    I have corroded brake pistons on the B11 and need to replace them and the seals. The brake is a P4:3040D from Guzziology. I think the brembo piston and seal kit is 120.2799.50. Please would someone confirm this part number, thanks.I might need to do the rear too but cant find the bake code or...

    stuck front brakes

    Thanks. As it had been fine last fall, I hadn't actually considered the old caliper as potentially being the problem. As for the chrome caliper pistons, I did rebuild the old f08 a few years back, and I believe I installed the new anodized pistons. But hell, that was 15 years ago, so who...

    stuck front brakes

    So as part my rebuild, I added a second front rotor and second f08 caliper to my 850t. I also installed a new, appropriately sized, brembo master cylinder and custom cut spiegler lines. They bled fine, and stop the bike wonderfully. However, they are not releasing, and so the front wheel...

    Front disc brake warp

    Mine was caused by a sticking piston on my SP that cause 2 warped rotors, even though I changed the fluid each year. Though this bike has fixed rotors unlike yours.Since rebuild kits aren't available on for the 2 pin 4 puck calipers for my Breva, not sure what on yours. What I do is to bleed...

    Red 1987 Moto Guzzi v75 issues and CR Proj

    Hello Filipe,I did this a few days ago on my V50 with much neglected maintenance and it did exactly what you describe - when I opened the bleeder screw suddenly there was no pressure and the master cylinder seemed to have failed.After messing with it a while in frustration I decided to try...

    Master Cylinder Rebuild

    thanks for the feedback. I learned the hard way as to what "broke" means. Sometimes a part is not symptomatic. For example, I've always bled my brakes on my SP every year. One year pulse developed in one rotor, so I replaced it. Pulse returned after too few miles. Well eventually I...

    Looking for some LM pics W/O bodywork,

    Just got the bike last Thursday and have commenced recommissioning for roadworthy certificate. Needs fork seals (started today), caliper and M/C rebuild, new brake hoses and RHD headlight. Haven't tried to start it yet so fingers crossed. Once registered will commence customisation. Keep...

    Rebuild for Rear caliper on V11s (updated with solution)

    Re: rebuild for Rear caliper on V11GuzziMoto, thanks, I used your suggestion on the B11 front calipers. The only concern I have is that there is so much dust on the caliper around the piston the dust might migrate into gap if too much brake fluid is used for cleaning. It was not possible to...

    Norge rear brake loss

    Agreed, the pads are not the problem and air sucked into the the MC is easily solved. MCs have been replaced with out the desired result. The Breva 1100 has the same rear caliper and as far as I know haven't has this problem, this points to the ABS. But a batch of defective caliper seals is...

    Rebuild for Rear caliper on V11s (updated with solution)

    Re: rebuild for Rear caliper on V11I have heard as well that Brembo does not sell seal kits. However seals are seals. I would think that once you know the dimensions you would be able to find a seal that works. That said, unless the caliper was leaking I would not pop the pistons completely...
