charliechitlins Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 My son's TXT 80 has a lovely 4-pot caliper that I'm thinking would make a dandy replacement for the 2-pot one on my 2.9. I need more stopper than he does! Anybody know if the master cyl is the same for 2 and 4-pot calipers? On some bikes (non-trials) you need a new master for moving the extra fluid.

monty-python Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Not sure about ajp, but the jap master cylinders have the bore size stamped on them. If the bore size of the master cylinder is the same for both bikes, it will work. If there are no bore sizes, try it out for size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian r Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I bet little Charlie 2 uses more than 1 finger on his brake anyhow. Am I right big Charlie 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian r Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 (edited) Does it mean "Stop being abrasive you Ba$+@rd?" Just another guess. Where's that Latin book? You DO know it's a dead language don't you? Edited February 27, 2004 by Brian R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted February 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Very close! It means "Don't let the *******s grind you down" And it's fake Latin. Like conjugating the verb, to spit: "Spittus, spattus, ach tui, splattus" Latin jokes are never gut-splitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechitlins Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Update: The switcheroo is not a simple swap. I would have to shave a few thou off the mounting bosses of the Hebo caliper and shim the AJP out just as much for it to work...so the disk would be properly centered. Looks like I'll have to save my allowance and buy new. In the meantime, I have stepped on the scale and it has read, after a long, hard winter, 205 American pounds. I don't know how many stone (stones?) that is, because I think we have different size stones here...and they don't all weigh the same. I have decided to remove my rear brake and take the safety wire out of my tool roll to save weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
