Shit happend

Today I was driving around Gatwick.
I started to brake for a corner but was taken to the shifter handle (no brakes) FUCK.
In turn drove the second lane (luckily nothing was going to).
When I stopped it turned out from the left caliper fared pads.
How does it happen??
Previous owner changed the pads but did it wrong!!
Unscrewed the bolt, brake pads flew. Many are not missed!
My mistake, I not checked .
This is a typical example of what happens when a motorcycle repair unsuitable men.
Do not do it!
The motorcycle is no puzzle.

PS.Does anybody know where I can buy a bolt and spring?

 

ouch dude, lucky escape there. thing slike sliding pins and springs bits i usually get from wemoto but shop around they may be cheaper elsewhere. most places that sell rebuild kits/piston seals etc for your bike will prob list sliding pins and springs as these are commonly replaced parts.

 

hmm had a look but they dont seem to list those bits for your bike

 

ok wemoto has the sliding pin , but not the spring...

 

Pls sent me some link .

http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Kawasaki/ZX-6R_ZX_636_C1/05/picture/Pads_Retaining_Pin_Front/ thats the pin , still having a nose for srping but assume lagunas would be able to order one in for you, worst case scenario

 

i hope i'm right in remembering its a 636 c1 zx6r?

 

Dude, that's shocking! Glad you're okay though.

I have a spare set of Tokico radials in the Batcave from my old 636, there's some good pads in them and have all the spares in case you want to check the rest of your calipers!

Just say they word if you need some bits.

 

there you go dude love it when a plan comes together

 

*Lights a cigar*

Tom I was lucky that nothing was going the opposite direction as I crossed the line

 

It was a B1, same calipers though. In '07 they switched to Nissin.
I can post em off to you if you don't have any joy with the website, don't want anything for them. They're in a box in my garage doing nothing, better off being put to use.

 

Dave is great. It needs only the pin and spring. Left caliper (bottom)I write to You PM.It's not about money but about time. I do not have time for anything now(fuc*^&^ work).
Dave pls sent me Your email adress, i sent to you back my adress coz i dont Know how to sent pm on the forum. arthurkepa@yahoo.co.uk. Big thanks

 

Glad your OK Artur.. No fault of yours, i dont think many people would check over a recently bought bike, i never have... Just goes to show though..... PHEEEW....SCARY....

 

Kevin such a thing should never happen.Unfortunately happens when people think i can fix all after watched the movie on YT.It was enough to use the drops of this to the pin,but this guy probably does not even know what is this
