Question 3AJ Rear Brake Caliper

Hi All,

I am setting of round France in a couple of weeks and need to get my bike MOT'd - (first time I've MOT'd this bike) and while getting teh bike ready I found out that the rear caliper is completely seized on the slider! - I have tried all the usual ways to separate it (penetrating oil, heat, cold etc) with no joy it's stuck fast.

UI have just trawled e-bay and other web sites with no joy - I will be ringing round breakers tomorrow.

Does anyone one know if this caliper is used on other bikes (i.e. is the DT125 front caliper the same/will it fit??) and/or does anyone know where I may be able to track one down? - would Dave Lambeth stock them?, How do I get hold of him (are you on this formun Dave?)

All help greatly appreciated.

Macky

I replaced the rear caliper on my 3AJ with a second hand DT 125 one they were the same not sure what year the DT was.
When I was trying to get a S/H caliper spoke to a shop in London MOTOSERV the guy said he had a new one I could have for £50 but he could not find it.
It might have turned up by now Moto serv 020 7837 0472
There is also a breakers in London 2Bs in Tottenham who had an XT in a few months back not sure if it was disc brake.
good luck

Angry Rear caliper hanger

Think I got stung buying a second hand caliper off a 2004 DT125 (£75 +vat!!) - but now I ned to find a rear caliper hanger off an xt600, as the DT ones very different and mine is siezed to the caliper.

Anyone out there got a spare or able to point me in the right direction as time is getting very tight now :-(
