Heheh, you should move to any of the numerous states in America where the law to wear a helmet doesn't exist!

but then it wouldn't be breaking the law = not tuff

yeah you wear you head on the pavement when you go down :P

gangsta bikers dont go down.

Hey guys, my right rear brake is grabbing/stuck.

Anyone know how i can release it from being stuck?? I'm going camping tomorrow which is like 1.5hours drive... unless someone from the west side want to give me a hand tonight?

Thinking about winging it but scared as I'm an amature!

Sounds like one of the shafts that guide the brakes closed is bent. You'd need a new caliper, i wouldn't try to straighten the shaft you'll never get it straight.. Good luck

So don't bother trying to unstuck it?

The problem is that I won't have time to drop by a mechanic until Monday.... and my car is used to carry luggages to camp tomorrow. :wacko:

You can try by undoing the bolts on the back of the caliper that hold the front face on, but if it is one of the shafts, chances of getting it back together without attempting to straighten it is minimal..

hmmmm..... not liking my chances here .

Do you know if it takes long to fix my problem at a brake shop?

Worst comes, I'll just have to wing it tomorrow to the camp site and hope for the best.

Well if u can pick up another caliper tonight it would take about half an hour plus a brake fluid bleed!

With the bike?

Or alvin letting me drive a turbo for the first time through the otways?

Not sure, guy on the commodore thread said so. Didn't ask on there as its a bit more public.

I asked Justin and he didn't see any incidents

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
