A safer way to remove the caliper piston - if you don't have a piston removal tool is, remove the wheel, take out the brake pads and before you undo your banjo bolt simply pump it out with the rear brake lever. I have got many a seized piston out this way it never fails! good video by the way.
Compressed air works too. I keep an old brake hose that had been cut and an airline fitting secured on the end. Can sometimes shoot a piston across the workshop of you are not careful.
I was installing my front brake cable once and I got fluid all over my face and it got rid of my acne! It was awesome, to be honest but the un-awesome part was the 8 hours of throwing up and the 19 hours in the hospital
I have looked high and low for a replacement piston for my 2019 sxf 250 but can’t seem to find a piston that looks the same. I can’t find any pistons that have that white inner circle in the piston. All the ones I can find are all metal ? Any help ?
The rear brake drags a little on my 96 Cr 250 , wheel doesn’t spin fully freely , if I spread the brake pads apart wheel spins freely , does my brake piston need cleaning ? I have clean some of the piston but haven’t removed it and problem still persists , but has improved a little .
Video on adjusting master cylinder after install? I think my brake fluid is leaking out of the bottom. What is the point of the two bolts that go into the rubber boot / plunger ?
Meg, the KTM Freeride 250R uses the same brakes as the KTM 85 sx. You could probably get by with a rebuild kit for the 85sx. The Formula brakes are notorious for failure. For the rear brakes at least, I recommend finding an alternate set of master and slave cylinders from more reputable makers. Nihilo Concepts sells a rear brake stay that can be used to mount big bike brakes onto it.
Do you need certain brake caliper slide pin grease? I just had to fix the brake on my car and used grease designed for it, but it looked pretty similar to my belray waterproof grease.
The wrench is on the banjo bolt at 1:38 in this video . To be sure, your best bet is to check out the OEM diagrams so you can be positive you're getting the correct part. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/oem-parts
What should I do if I bled my brake and they cut out intermittently still? Like they slowly go from good pressure to squishy to none and then back again.
I followed this, reinstalled the piston but the piston had a little bit of trouble at the start, then just slipped straight in and had almost no resistance once it got past the first couple mm Could this be worn pistons? (On front) I have almost no brake pressure, rebuilt both mc and caliper, and still no pressure, back bled and everything Doesn’t seem to be a leak but the brake pads wouldn’t come together for the first 5/6 times I opened the nipple

Cheers I’m going to rebuild mine so this will help a lot

compressed air through the bleeder.
@@nathanmiller9545 Was it easy to rebuild?
These video how too's are getting better and better every time!
Thanks *trouble maker!* We're happy you like them. Thanks for the comments.
Best video I've seen. Others always leave certain parts out, usually the seals. Thank you!
*Sean Scarmack* Thanks!

Great now all I need is a dirt bike. 🙂

Nice harbor freight picks
Brilliant detailed video thank you
سلام برادر گرامی 🌺
دستت درد نکند بابت فیلم آموزشی
thank you sir, appreciate the info!
Never leave brake fluid on painted surfaces. It will act like a thinner, breaking down the paint.

Is there another rubber grommet that goes in the front guide hole on the bracket besides the outer seal?

Where the heck can K order new leaf springs for brakes?! I have been having issues finding new ones.
Where is your how to bleed video I can’t find it??
When we're removing air bubbles from caliper then we've to open Master cylinder cap or not
Is it normal for the rear brake caliper to have a little play side to side (not forward-backward)? Thanks...

Please make a Video for fueling air rear caliber for Chinese atv if you already did please paste a link thanks
When doing the double piston Brembo's is there anything new or just the same. Ive got one that drags
Wondering if anyone can help… followed this for a double piston front calliper and have no break at all, bled bled and bled but still no brake??
What's the metal piece in between the brake pads at 3:52
what if the piston caliper is stuck? what should I do?
Does Rocky Mountain ATV carry rebuild kits for Formula brakes (front and rear brakes for KTM Freeride 250R)?
*Meg Petersen* Sorry, for that bike we do not.

but its a round piston how do i keep it square ?

MaxRay16 shouldn't be a specific kind it's just grease
Regular Permatex brake grease is probably fine.
None of your rebuild kits include the leaf spring, can't see them on the site anywhere, where do you get them?
Your best bet is to check the OEM parts for your machine.

@@rmatvmc Oh, Thanks
We live in a great time
You did.
Are you saying banjo bolts 1:45 I broke that piece on my bike and I'm looking for it but idk what it's called please help

Video is perfect. Now just come work on my bike for free.
What should I do if I bled my brake and they cut out intermittently still? Like they slowly go from good pressure to squishy to none and then back again.
Turns out it was a bent rotor.
can i use rear caliper from 300 to 250?
what bike
Is the soul patch a recommended tool as well?
I followed this, reinstalled the piston but the piston had a little bit of trouble at the start, then just slipped straight in and had almost no resistance once it got past the first couple mm

I have almost no brake pressure, rebuilt both mc and caliper, and still no pressure, back bled and everything
Doesn’t seem to be a leak but the brake pads wouldn’t come together for the first 5/6 times I opened the nipple
Did you ever fix the issue m? I’m having a similar problem
what brand is the motorcycle ? under type and year ?
This dirt bike is a 2015 KTM 300 XC-W.
