    Replacing the hydraulic caliper

    Hi, my HRMB hydraulic caliper failed today. It looks like I can get away with just a new caliper which includes new brake pads for $27+s/h. To replace the caliper.. I'm guessing i just need to unscrew the gold bolt going from the brake line to the caliper... then fill with new fluid and...

    Hydraulic brake failure.

    Damn it, shouldnt have posted in this thread.. mine broke today. GENTLY braking at ~20mph. I gently increased the brake strength and felt a click and my brake was stuck on. The pad dislodged and had slipped halfway out and cracked a chunk off.. Got ~3 months of gentle street use out of it -...

    Hydraulic brake failure.

    Funny, I was looking at the hydraulic caliper today I have from HRMB thinking it looked pathetically weak... Its pretty scary that you can go 40mph lose your brake and not have a backup. Does anyone have a front brake on theirs?

    Doodlebug high pitched clutch noise

    Ok, so for the past week, the wheel has been spinning along with that noise when I lift the rear tire off the ground. I have tried oiling the bushing again with no luck. Any ideas? I cannot find info on the stock engine for idle adjustment and im wondering if that is the cause.

    DB 30 Brake Rotor

    The first link is a 6 and 1/4" rotor which is just about 160mm.. you need larger for the DB30. I dont think you will find a lot cheaper than $40 since the bolt pattern, distance from center bolt location, and diameter all factor in... pretty much no one makes the right rotor size.

    Gas Leak - Doodlebug

    The bowl was full when I took the screws out, but once the bowl was off the float itself felt dry and empty. Does that black plastic thing in the video do much of anything?

    Gas Leak - Doodlebug

    Yeah, I wonder if it was a one time thing that the float was stuck open... at least it got a blasting with carb cleaner anyway.
