avo Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 has anyone changed the formula clutch for an ajp? if do you need to swap the hose as well or is it a straight swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowbrow Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 On mine it was a straight swap using the same hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting32 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I was hoping someone would have tried this... Thanks for the info Lowbrow. FWIW, thought the Formula were more or less "copies" of the AJP, so I assumed they'd be the same, but hated to mislead, so I kept my "keyboard/mouth shut" on this one.

laser1 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Weird. The AJP brake lines (Ft & Rr) didn't fit on two formula based bikes we tried it on. The whole banjo bolt setup on the rear was different as I recall. Didnt try the clutch line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laser1 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 My bad- didnt notice that. Good to know on the clutch. I was thinking levers ones on bars, not rear brakes, sorry. OP was talking about clutch, so..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting32 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 They (formula) not being the same connectors or banjo or whatever the difference is... Well, it just seems STUPID beyond refute... if nothing else becuase it means dealers have to have 2 types for the same friggin part in stock, and ship you the wrong one the 1st time of course.

betabonkers Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Mine was a straight swap on the clutch but had to change the hose for the rear brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prxeight Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Formula to AJP is not a straight swop. The hose from the Formula brake does not fit the AJP master cylinder. Seems this little bit on the end is the problem: Then the banjo bolts are different sizes so you cant exchange the Master cylinder / hose / caliper. You have to replace everything. The top bolt on the Formula caliper is to short to use on the AJP caliper: So during this swop I discovered a couple of nasty surprises. This is what the clutch hose looked like when I took it off for the first time: And this piece came out of the new replacement caliper from AJP: I've learnt that you cannot trust the assembly done by the factory, or the parts supplied. Check everything, double check and check again before you fit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betabonkers Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 The rear hose will go straight into ajp calliper, it's not ideal but it does work, and I had no problems changing clutch and front brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
