front brake boots...

i cleaned up the front calipers,
and when i was ready to put it back together,
i noticed the piston/cilinder dust seal boots
had expanded. :cry:

what can i do?
is there a way to bring em back to normal?
what should i use to clean the other one?
soap n'water?

 

ok i went to the dealership and
he only has for maxim, now my question is,
does the maxim have the same calipers as the seca?

also what is the code for the maxim 650?
my seca is xj650rj
the maxims is xj650xx?

my seca has 2 front disc brakes btw!

 

Caliper seal kit for the 82 seca rj--1J3-W0057-00-00. The maxim seems to have a different number.

 

yes so it seems,

maybe the boot is same size?

is there a way to find the cilinder sizes?

ok maybe monday i'll take the cilinder measures to the shop,

or take the other boot from the right caliper to compera.

thx m8!

 

Can't you just get them from Chacal? you know you get the right part @ the right price.

 

ye that would be nice!
i've been tryin to login to xj4ever for 4ever,
but it wont let me.
i wanna find out if he deals internationally
and payment methods.

so meanwhile, where can i cross reference
to see which other bike wears same boots or calipers?

 

First off, you can't "log into" XJ4Ever. Send chacal a PM or email info @ xj4ever.com and he'll help you. He does deal internationally.

The 650 Seca and 650 Maxim have completely different front brakes. Chacal can help you sort it out, armed with your VIN.

Seca is XJR; Maxims were just "XJ" and the year designation: An XJ650RJ is an 82 Seca, the XJ650J is the '82 Maxim. IN THE US.

hmm... ok it does seem to be "under construction" 4ever.


where can i get the yamaha code for the part?

i do need some other stuff, so ill try talk to chacal!

 

I gave you the number, but HERE look it up yourself.

 

I had the same problem you did when I went to try going to the xj4ever web site.
It is a thread in the forums. It is a catalog, actually.

That will take you right to the catalog.

the second link will take you right to the part of the catalog with brake parts, etc. It starts on Master cylinders. Just keep scrolling down. The brake section continues on page 4. It starts about 2/3 down the page.
If you can't find it, present your problem to chacal, the moderator and owner of xj4ever and he will tell you what you need to know and is VERY reliable as a parts dealer.

 

Yes, everyone is correct, you're all grand prize winners today!

The XJ650RJ Seca (also known merely as an XJ650 in the rest of the world, since they had no "Seca" or "Maxim" versions, just an "XJ650" which is pretty much identical to the North American XJ650RJ Seca......still with me?) uses calipers that are unique to that model.....different than all the rest of the XJ-series bikes.

We do have caliper rebuild kits and other parts for those bikes, including complete replacement calipers.

However, looking at the pictures in your gallery, I've never seen an XJ650RJ with that style (huge!) fairing nor with a rectangular headlight, so I'm just wondering what you really have there. The gas tank and side covers look very XJ650-ish, but.....

Could you provide us with the model number of your bike so we can make sure what you have, is what it is.

A good photo of your calipers would also help quite a bit!
