Is the caliper still on?

 

[urnvs]

No I already pulled it.

Have you ever thought of going hydro for the rear?

 

[harley1-5]

good idea mine are already hydro awk08 makes and sells the gsxr rear kit and his work is awesome

 

[urnvs]

What's the cost compared to just replacing the existing part?

 

[Herpderplol]

Whats it worth?

Hydro: Working brakes can stop you from collisions

Stock: Probably on the verge of failing

Look at the cost of a stock caliper vs a hydro set-up on Ebay. Very close in price , granted these ranges go higher and lower. Below are a few examples

Hydo set up: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Complete-Ya...blaster-CALIPER-LEVER-1987-2006-/290874514126

Stock 88'-02' set-up: http://www.ebay.com/itm/88-02-YAMAHA-blaster-yfs-200-rear-brake-caliper-/141157522410

If you want to stick with the stock caliper let me know because I have one from upgrading mine to hydraulic. I will check tomorrow to make sure everything is operational. It only has under 50 hours ride time on it. Have the cable as well if you want it. AWK's are all the talk on here. I just bought a setup from a 2005. You need the brake system, peg and brake pedal from a 03-06 model. Then you need to fabricate a bracket. Food for thought.
