Blaster 2002 help please.

[Ryan Bazeley]

Hi guys,

I have a 2002 Yamaha Blaster which I bought last year. The unusual thing is it has rear hydros. I do not know the make of the calliper so sourcing brake pads is impossible. I was hoping that from a couple of photos you guys may be able to direct me as to what I need.

Many thanks

someones been fabbin
thats not a stock blaster hydro caliper, nor is it a gsxr caliper like i use, but similar......dual opposing pistons, 2 solid mounting points and one pin in the middle that holds the pads into the caliper.

any markings on it ? ....nissan, tokico, brembo ?

i'd like to see how it's mounted onto the carrier and the brake pads out ?

 

[Ryan Bazeley]

Thank you for the response!

Yeah, I assume somebody has done some work on it.

The only marking on the calliper is that small symbol you can see in the 3rd pic.

It is mounted to the hub with a small piece of aluminium between the two to get the right fitment.

I can get a pic of this in a couple of days. I can take the pads out tonight and get a photo of them up as well.

How does the rest of the setup look? The brakes are entirely useless so maybe new pads will help. I did bleed the brakes but it didn't help much.

Any other ideas?

Does it have good pressure after bleeding? Could also be a snomo cali.

 

[Ryan Bazeley]

I got all the fluid out of it and it was black to maybe new seals on master cylinder and a good bleed with new fluid should help. It did stop before, just very slowly. The level stayed at the top as well so no leaks I guess.

Here are some more pics. Anybody got any clues what pads I need and maybe the make of this thing? That symbol on the top pic is the only ID on it!

Cheers,

got me stumped, never seen a caliper, marking, or pads like those

That is not what I wanted to hear

Anybody else???

 

[Wifesblaster]

See if there are any numbers on the pads

 

[Ryan Bazeley]

Not even 1 number…. :|

 

[Ryan Bazeley]

Okay, If this is a dead end…..what calliper would you guys recommend for a fairly low price. Hopefully with a mounting kit…?

 

[Bluesman]

What you have there, looks like a hokey bunch of crap. You don't show it mounted, but I'm sure that the bleeder screw is not at the top. If the bleeder screw is not at the top, there's no way to get the air out. anyway, I would junk the whole works and start over. Start with an 03-06 footpeg and brake pedal. Then a master that you know where it came from. Then weld tabs on the frame. The caliper that you go with kind of depends on if you have a fixed or floating brake disc.

Damn…..I assumed that was the case! Don't need a back brake anyway!

 

[tbrooks]

That mark to me looks like it says made in china lol. You can message AWK about his brakes he sells, everybody on here likes em

Since when do you not need a back brake, just try to correct a nose high attitude coming off a 3 metre high jump with out one.

 

[Ryan Bazeley]

I will try bleeding it when it is back together and see what it is like. What kind of money are we talking for a rear hydro setup (not made in china). That lad on here sells setups does he? I have just spent around £450 on the Blaster recently so another couple of 100 is not ideal but a rear brake would be nice tbh!

Looks kinda like a snomobile caliper or my trailblazer 250s

 

[Ryan Bazeley]

Cheers guys, I think this setup is going in the bin and I will get a full new proper setup. Courtesy of AWK
