- Refurbing the Brakes! Yamaha XJR1300 Shoogly Shed Motors
With only a handful of jobs left to do, today I'm refurbishing the brakes and clutch slave cylinder! Not long until London...
That Intro jingle never gets old....carry on :)
Hope mrs Shoogly doesn’t go looking for her casserole dish which is full of brake cleaner and brake parts 👀👀 good work, onwards!
🤣🤣
🫣
So close to 5K subs, can almost taste it Shoogly!! look forward to you finishing XJR and we'll get it out along with Musashi 8)
They look great! I also used a bearing puller to remove pistons, it works better than pliers or air pressure. Well done!
Another great video Ewan, you deserve more than 5k subscribers !
As I have said before, I also have an XJR, so love watching what you're doing to your one.
Just an aside, I thought I knew Scotland quite well, but have no idea where that road on your intro is, any clues 😂😂
Ah! It's south of Glasgow, Eaglesham Moor road 💪🏼
@@ShooglyShedMotors so it is Ewan, I've just checked Google Maps 😂
I was way off, my thoughts were the A86 Spean Bridge to the A9, but obviously not. Hope your time schedule goes to plan and you make it to the Bike Shed.
Great videos, all very informative, thanks from South Australia
Lovely job mate. Might have been a nice opportunity to try ceracoating. A future project maybe!
I’ve had my XJR1300 24 years, I have to service the brakes every year, especially the back. Bleeding it is always a pain.
I have replaced the clutch slave cylinder a good few times, last time I replaced the whole unit.
I'm your brother here. Had mine for 20 years and same jobs every few years. Worth it though, it's such a great bike.
Have you ever polished the inside of the clutch slave cylinder?
@@ShooglyShedMotors not yet🤔its a bad design allowing the chain to fling dirt onto the slave cylinder.
Another great episode. I'm surprised that you didn't powder or Cerakote the callipers. That 'tough' black ain't so tough and with brake fluid being corrosive to paint and the callipers being in a vulnerable position they won't last long. I did my fork bottoms using tough black and they look shite after only one summer riding 😢
Not sure what you're doing differently from me but I've used tough black on literally hundreds of parts, including engines and brake calipers, and maybe only had 1 or 2 issues. Brake fluid doesn't seem to attack it like regular paint.
I've had calipers powdercoated and Cerakoted before and they both had real downsides.
So far, this method has been my favourite. I guess only time will tell how they hold up.
I will need your help!
Real good videos. Thank you. I’m from lisboa, Portugal! 👍
Looks great, love a good brake rebuild. You're not planning on reanodizing or painting the piston caps? Any particular reason for that?
I just like the look! I'll be kept busy with WD40 trying not to let them corrode too much!
@@ShooglyShedMotors always a good enough reason
Oooh she's coming together nicely calipers came up great one question on the heating up of the pins to red generally on screws and or anything does this have any effect on metal strength ? just curious as I have zero knowledge on metals and the heating of cheers 👌👍
In theory, yes, you could be removing the hardening. But quenching usually hardens material anyway, unlike annealing where it's left to cool naturally.
These pins are just pad retaining pins and they don't take any forces.
@@ShooglyShedMotors Many thanks for that info 👍
any brake fluid on that paint and it will come straight off
Wrong 👍🏼
How's it wrong , have you applied some brake fluid to it , it took mine off
@@virtuosomuso I have used it on brakes before and never had an issue like that. So long as it's not left soaking in brake fluid, and so long as it has been applied well, it shouldn't be a problem.
Did I miss something or those hex things will remain uncoated? Yes, admire my knowledge of proper terminology 😛
Yes they're raw shot alloy. Keeping them in coats of WD40 will keep me busy...
@@ShooglyShedMotors why not boil them in oil too then? Is that a visual preference?
@@theodorstravels I'm not sure that works with aluminium!
