Assistance required!

I've started to rebuild the front caliper off a 1995 GPZ 500s (the model with a single caliper) and I've been hit with a couple of snags.

1st snag:

I've lost one of the pad springs - there's three in this caliper. One big one and two small ones (if that makes any sense) I need to replace one of the small ones I've lost.

2nd snag:

Both pistons are fucked.

I was wondering if anybody has these kicking about? I'm obviously willing to pay, but I can't afford to spend a lot of money buying new ones with the car now wanting new tyres.

The pistons are the 34mm and 27mm in diameter. I cannot save them, they are scratched to shit.

SOS

Small pad stoppers springs is part number: 920811661

Should come in at a fiver from your local kawasaki dealer or order one online.

Large piston: 430201069

Small piston: 430201068

Pistons are more expensive but the used these callipers on a LOAD of bikes in the late 80's/early 90's. Be aware they are handed so the big and small piston can be opposite ways round.

Lots of the GPX/GPZ range, early ER5, KLR and KLE models all used them so chances are you'll get a scrap calliper for not very much.

BINGO! £20

Even looks like a LHS one so would probably bolt right on a 2nd gen GPZ500. Carrier is the same part number.

Cheers, bud!

However, now my car is broken so will have to divert money to that. See new thread if you know anything about BMWs Sad
