A forum for owners of Yamaha TTR250 trail and enduro bikes!

Hi All, I have only just had my TTR and the front brake was useless, I have stripped it,cleaned it and bled it , It was still only somewhere between death-wish and feeble.

I was going to invest in new rubbers seals pads etc but the sight glass on the master cylinder was leaking and I think the pathetic brake was down to this,

searching ebay I come across this set up ,

The master cylinder was around £15 but for £25 you got the whole lot,

I took a punt as I figured if the caliper turned out to be shot as well I would only have to knock up a hanger to mount it, 

To my amazement the caliper slotted straight onto the TTR hanger,

The master cylinder fitted a treat as well,

The only jiggery pokery was I had to  change the connectors for the brake light switch,

If the supplied brake line had of been longer it would have fitted as a complete unit, It was even full of brake fluid,

The brake line is the only part of the original front brake

Apologies for the state of the bike I had to put it away dirty and wont get a proper chance to clean it till Friday,

I am pretty chuffed and hopefully this info will be of use to someone,
