How-To: Thread Repair Made Easier Print E-mail
Thursday, 23 February 2006
Now you've done it. After that little get-off bent the footpeg bracket and demoted the shift lever to bench art, you've finally got the parts to make your bike rideable again. Unfortunately, all that thread-locking compound between the aluminum frame threads and that steel bolt have made the fastener harder to extract than a Wisconsinite from the new cheese bar at Sizzler. Worse, you got a little excited and stripped the threads.

How-To: Clean Up Motorcycle Brake Calipers Print E-mail
Thursday, 16 February 2006
Cleaning your motorcycle's brake calipers will keep your stops smooth and safe.
By Marc Cook

Even if you've been diligently replacing brake fluid every year or two, there will come a time when you'll need to disassemble the calipers for a bit of up-close TLC, not the kind they get at the end of the brake-cleaner straw.

Caliper overhaul includes replacing the dust and piston seals, and therefore requires complete disassembly. Don't panic; it's easy. Still, it's worth stopping by your dealer well in advance to purchase the seals, and be sure to ask how many sets you'll need for each caliper. Some manufacturers sell kits that include parts for the piston pairs on each side of the caliper, while others sell them individually by piston. If you're lucky, the dealer will have 'em in stock.
