Nice work good to see the gen1 in the background

The rear cylinder is a Brembo so that will be fine pitch m10x1.0 Where as the rear caliper isn't Brembo so will be standard pitch . Brembo are the odd ones out

A good practice is to final torque the bolts (after the fluid is bled) with the brake on so as to locate the true (prior) position, even though micro. Side note, , once used mark your pads with marker as they are removed- to return them back to correct bedded position. (I'm buying the rear HEL billet caliper.) Thanks

They do a BMW S1000RR in a very similar shade to your M3 so would be the perfect pair for you 👀 www.thebikemarket.co.uk/bmw/sport/s1000rr/2010-2011 😅

Hi Thanks for the great video. I too am considering installing the HEL calipers. What is the length of the spacers you used to install the calipers?

@stoneautomotive

4 ай бұрын

The spacers came with the calipers 😬 Just drop HEL a message with your model and they can provide all the options to suit your bike 😎👌

They look really good, definitely better looking than the Yamaha calipers. So while you are freezing your nuts off for me it's the opposite. It's been sitting at 39.7C or 103.4F, for the last three days and it's going on for the next three days. I can't ride in the hot weather, too old now and it just tires me out. Look forward to seeing how these calipers work when you get a decent day.

They look great, have you got a link to your vacuum bleeder? Did you have any problems not forcing the ABS pump to run after draining the whole system? Thanks!

Few years ago now that I bought the vacuum bleeder but was something like the below - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386471335137?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=9xktshkqtem&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=CKFRglVnR7S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY No issues with the ABS pump bleeding, it was something I was expecting but thankfully pretty straight forward 👍

The 2 extra pipes look like they go to the ABS unit. Appears to be 2 hard lines from the splitter by the radiator, going back towards the end of the bike, with a couple of braided flexible lines at the end of those.

What makes you think that these will be better than the OEM calipers? The original is monobloc, the HEL calipers are bolted. I am curious about what benefit you expect, and what you would actually get in reality.

the billet Brembo's used on sbk race bikes are also 2 piece. a lot of compromises have to be made in order to make 1 piece callipers, whereas the extra strength can be designed into billet callipers and still weigh less than cast callipers.

@@theant9821 Which calipers dio you have on your Yamaha R1, what year is it? I had monoblock on mine. The braded lines and sintered pads did the job just fine. I was just curious what you expect to achieve. Because the braking power will still be the same due to simple physics.

Shitcan all the abs crap would be my first order of business

Front paddock stand. Wheel out give yourself some room to work 😂. Also seems wierd that it has a splitter in the lines. Wouldn't it have more braking power with 2 separate lines coming off the banjo bolt at the master cylinder🤷

Still haven’t ridden the bike 😭😭😭 With the winter I don’t take the bikes out especially with the salt on the roads, we have had some half decent weekends for January but either been working or tied up with other commitments 😫

Glad to see you’re using a torque wrench, but I must say you need to start wearing gloves when working with brake fluid! Nasty stuff. I would share a photo of me working on my V4 in the living room and smugly stating that this is how it’s done after the end of October, but I can’t seem to upload one…
