1st gen brake caliper halves O-ring replacement interest

[dingy]

Would there be any interest from members to purchase replacement square cut O-Rings that go between the brake caliper halves on 1st gen bikes. These are not used on 2nd gen bikes due to caliper design.

 

Yamaha does not list a part for this square cut O-Ring. They recommend in the service manual not splitting the calipers.

 

In order to give the calipers a decent cleaning though, I have found that splitting the caliper is necessary. At times it is need to just get the pistons out of the caliper body.

 

I have located a supplier that will make this O-Ring for me. I have to order a quantity of 250 of them though. There is a 7 week lead time.

 

I can supply 6 of these O-Rings, which is the quantity needed for all three calipers, for a cost of $10.00 including shipping to U.S. & Canada.

 

Please post to this thread or PM me if interested. Bear in mind the long lead time I have on getting these special O-Rings.
