tri-z help needed, brake calipers ?

[smokinntokin]

after giving the tri-z baby a good fistful, the corner took the better of me and stamping on the back brake lever, resulted in me making corner but back brake caliper breaking into a million pieces . the worse was i had just fitted a camera mounting on bike to make a video ! i was on the prasctice run whilst the camera charged. so im in need of a brake caliper complete. where i need the help is that i cant get one in *Edited*.k for love nor money or begging and have heard that another yamaha brake caliper fits. can anyone tell me what else can be used with out drills and new fittings. come on you lot, i have finally found a group of enthusiats that also have to fend off quad bike flash whilst we all past them into the ground :) give us a hand, cheers paul.

88 and 89 yamaha warrior ran the same calipers but you have to get the correct side,so the bleeder is at the top of the caliper.that way you can get them to bleed the brakes.if you use the wrong side warrior caliper,the bleeder will be at the bottom and you will never get the caliper to bleed the air from the system.

nice one so i can use the ones from the front as well ? cool.

yep. but only 88-89 warrior runs the same calipers.you have to switch the caliper brackets to fit the rear of the z.but like i said only one of the warrior fronts will work on the rear.the bleeder screw has to be at the top of the rear caliper so you can get the air to bleed from it. i am not sure which front caliper is positioned that way.but you can get them pretty cheap from e bay.the warrior rear caliper,will not work.only the 88-89 fronts can go on a tri-z.so dont buy a warrior rear caliper.only 88-89 front calipers.
