Hi,

just to confirm that the Caliper rubber cover repair kit | BRA30312 from motorWorks fitted perfectly on the rear brake caliper of my Ten. Thanks Pleiades for the suggestion.

The sliding pin was really stuck. Have to push/hit with a bar extender and a hummer close to the base of the sliding pin to separate the caliper from the bracket. The bracket hold onto a vise.

Cheers

Thanks for your help.

Is it the same for the front brakes?
I inquired yamaha dealer for those rubber boots and price is 58� for each pair!!! WTF ???
I told him i will use the older ones and put grease more freaquently :)

Rear caliper repair kit cross-references with BMW F650/700/800 twin.

For front caliper rebuild parts, including the piston seal kit (not available from Yamaha), refer to BMW G650GS single cylinder bikes. This BMW (Brembo) caliper is the same as that fitted to the XTR and XTZ front, although you'll need two of everything on the Z!

Click here for the parts.

FYI the BMW F-series twins have a very similar looking caliper to ours, but crucially it has bigger pistons and takes a larger pad.

I just bought a pair to do one front calliper from my Yamaha dealer for �6. The BMW ones listed in the above threads work out at �25.36 per pair.

The bags are not Yamaha but have Nissin written on them. The reference numbers are NC-B1 (for the long one)and NC-B2 for the other.

Also written on the bags are 'Please refer to Nissin Catalogue for applications"


Hope this helps to stop others getting right royally ripped off for such a small and obviously cheap to make part....

:)


.

€6 a pair - wow! You'll have to tell us who your dealer is? ;)

When I enquired at my local dealer they wanted �14.38 each for just the pin, never mind the R-clips etc.

Drill an old nail and put a split pin through it...just wouldn't have that 'Factory Look' lol

Removing brake pads and caliper
 

I know where you're coming from. That's how the bottom shock bushes are held in place on by Land Rover - 4" nail twa*ted with a hammer! Agricultural engineering. Some how it wouldn't feel right on the Z! ;)

Alternate calliper boots and brake pads for XT660Z Tenere
 

Disgusted with the price that Yamaha (Australia) wanted for a couple of small bits of rubber I looked for alternatives and found that the Brembo calliper boots are the same as used by KTM on the EXC, 690R (front) and 690R, 990 Adventure (rear), not surprising really as the boots are a Brembo supplied part. A full single calliper boot refurb kit from my local KTM deal only cost $12 (Aud), and unlike Yamaha they were a regular stocked item.

Pad compound aside the brake pads are also compatible between these bikes, In the past I have replaced the front pads on my XT660Z with pads from my spares kit that were intended for the front of my KTM exc300 (2007 model).

Hope this helps.
