    Re: MAXIM PARTS FOR SALE

    I don't really need any of those boots at this point in time. I was just concerned about getting them down the road if and when I may need them. I was just supplying info to help out in the quest to locate them.

    Re: MAXIM PARTS FOR SALE

    I just wanted to leave a little feedback on the very fast and excellent service I got from Chacal's store. Quality parts and very good prices! I ordered an ignition lock and some carb rebuild parts.. He's got some of the real obscure stuff that you wouldnt think of too.. Like a drill bit to clean out the starter jet that I thought I ruined last year :) Thanks Len!!

    Re: MAXIM PARTS FOR SALE

    Hey Chacal,
    In the process of cleaning the carbs I have found that I need the following parts:
    enrichment valve hex-topped brass body
    pilot screw flat washer (tiny)
    pilot screw rubber stopper
    Here is a picture of what I need. Do you have any of these?

    Thanks,

    Thanks a lot for the Y-10 needles (and fast shipping) Chacal! You should change your thread subject to 'Maxim/Seca Parts...' though!

    Hey Len,
    Got the parts yesterday. Everything looks sweet, can't wait to make use of them. It's shaping up like a nice weekend, maybe too nice to work on the bike. I'll let you know when they're in place.

    Re: MAXIM PARTS FOR SALE

    Okay, regarding the 750 Seca pin boots: we're out of luck. They originally were serviced as a separate part number...that took a full week to discover---but have long since been discontinued.

    I found some similar pin boots that MIGHT work----but I doubt it. The boots used on 750 Max calipers are "similar", but they have a base diameter of almost 16mm (as opposed to the 14mm on the Seca calipers), and an overall heigth of 14mm (as opposed to 12mm on the Seca), and the bellows opening is 9.60mm in diameter (not sure what it was on the Seca).

    The heigth and bellows opening differences probably aren't significant, but the base diameter may be a sticking point (figuratively and literally!).

    If anyone wants to try one on their caliper, I'll send you a new one for $9.00 each (shipping included). If they don't work, just send it back and I'll refund your full amount. Or you can send me a caliper and I'll try it on....I do not have a Seca caliper here to experiment on!

    Re: MAXIM PARTS FOR SALE

    hey chacal, are there any brake rotors for the 550 Maxim that aren't $200? The only ones I can find are ridiculous!!!

    Re: MAXIM PARTS FOR SALE

    Well, new rotors are going to set you back a bit. You'll have to try to find some on eBay or this forum (used) to get a better price. On used ones, you have to find out what the min. allowed thickness is (should be in your factory service manual, or in a Clymer manual) and ask the sellers to mic them for you. ALSO, be sure to inquire as to whether there are any hairlines cracks around the mounting bolt holes or around the outside edges of the rotor....if so, they're about to be nice paperweights.....

    Re: MAXIM PARTS FOR SALE

    well my rotors might be alright...I have to check them out. I think the caliper definitely needs to be rebuilt though. Also, it looks like I will need new plug boots too as mine are all dry rot and the rubber bits are cracked to hell.

    Re: MAXIM PARTS FOR SALE

    One thing on rotors.....there's no brake machinein the world that will turn them.....Yamaha rotors are made from a hardened steel and they will get chewed up by the cutting bits on a brake lathe.....go to an automotive machine shop and have them surfaced on a flywheel grinder.....they come back sweet and straight....just make sure that the min. allowable thickness is not breached!

    I've got caliper and master cylinder rebuild kits whenever you're ready. please inquire.

    Re: MAXIM PARTS FOR SALE

    I can hook you up on the caliper. I have contacted a company that makes bellows for machining equipment to see if they would perhaps take on a run of 100-200 of these things. I'll P.M. you with details. Nick, can you ship me your boot drawing? I can't pull it off the page here and I want to be able to furnish it to the prospective supplier. How many folks would need/want a set of boots should these folks be willing to pop them out?
