Front brake caliper was the usual pain ::)

First the bleed nipple was seized, took lots of heating and soaking over 2 days, find a deep 8mm socket is good used with 1/4 drive ratchet to get a better feel and hopefully not snap nipple.

Feels a bit like playing Russian roulette getting these out :P

Once that was out, had to refit to try air pressure to push out piston.

Would not move, but managed to push piston in a bit but would not come out with air pressure, soaked with WD40 for a couple of days.

Eventually used the grease gun method, using an adaptor with grease nipple and pumped in grease.

Came out fine.

Thanks for that Martin. Those 392 piston's are a little difficult when it comes to finding ring's. If you have any idea who is doing rings for those i would be interested. Cheers

I got some standard size ones from Davis Silver for my F1 that had same pistons. They were £76 plus vat and P&P for full set, though :'(

Made by NPR and listed as OEM  13011392004P

Too rich for me. DSS is well over priced these days. Just did a price check on 10 items from DSS and compared the same items with a German dealer that i use. The result was DSS was £83 more expensive.

Hi Trigger,Could you advise German dealer details and I will check them out.

Put a list of some of parts on DSS basket and came to £280  :'(

Hi number. Could you put a picture up of a piston from that engine? I want to see if it the same as the F2 ones. The F1 used two types of piston, some are from the early K and the latter ones have a dot instead of the arrow on the crown.

Parts list shows piston as 131013 392 020  so assume its the F1 type.

Does have a dot on piston, will take some pics

Started the strip, hoping to have frame etc ready for powder coaters Monday, so can be done before they close for Xmas  :-\

May not work out if too many seized parts, but good to have a goal and something to keep me busy over break!

Just received some parts from cruzinimage (Ebay) from Japan.

Have used before and reasonable for pattern parts.

It is out of van and took a closer look.

Some good and bad news  ???

The engine still has its original oil pipe fixing screws (missing from all my other bikes)

Lots of parts better than expected and rear mudguard chrome is quite good.

Generally seems quite original, but quite a few bits missing.

Thought it was a Black tank, but is in fact a very dark maroon metallic.

Wiring and HB switches very poor, looks like UV damage, the plastic connector housings are crumbling!
