bmw r100 brake upgrade

This complete set consists of: 1. A 0.001" or 0.002" shim makes a considerable change. http://www.cycleworks.net A sidecar brake that can be easily locked-up can be very dangerous. I recommend that even if the foot lever feels OK, that you ALWAYS do all rear brake bleeding with the bleeder port vertical. I use a rubber/plastic ear syringe or whatever, to nearly completely empty the master cylinder of old fluid, before beginning. A rubber baby syringe from the nearest drug store is perfect for this ...BUT, be VERY careful to not allow it to squirt all over the place as you remove the syringe from the reservoir. Even a partial non-release will cause problems, the least of which is, after awhile, a change in the surface of the pads; MAYBE some squealing; USUALLY poor pad friction. Limits are often stamped into the disc brake carrier, something like:   min 0.18. The 1977 bikes do not have the diode in the brake warning lamp circuit. You probably can use the existing MC. Here are a bunch of photos of a rebuilding of an under-fuel-tank-located ATE master cylinder: That shaft may have up to 7 grooves machined into it. R2V-GS 1991-* & BASIC; R2V *-9/1984; R80ST; R2V-GS 1988 - 1990; R80/100R Paralever; /6 /7 *-9/1980; R100R Close. I have worked on many. Brake shoes should be checked that they contact the arm CAM exactly & squarely/evenly. You do NOT need the rubber bellows, if you have one in the master cylinder, during bleeding; but having the cover on is a good idea & there is no need to hardly tighten the screws ...just barely in place lightly is adequate ....enough to prevent spills if the bars or bike is accidentally jarred. Speed and reasonably vigorous use of the brakes to produce the right temperatures is important here, not just braking quite hard from 30mph ...which is not generally going to be the best. One pedal or two, tie in to the tug's rear braking system or not, all no big preference. I don't much like the 15 mm. It was overkill, by a bunch. I personally dislike ABS on a sidecar rig, but that is due to my driving style. General discussion, adding a second disc & effects of master cylinder size: Tires are often marked for direction, via arrows on the carcass. This is particularly so if going to a new type of pad containing, perhaps, copper or other metal. If the pads are fairly well-worn, and you push on the pistons, the pistons will go inwards quite a bit & then any piston corrosion, etc., will rub on the very critical square O-ring seal, damaging it. The stock smaller master cylinder size will produce more braking for a given squeeze on the lever, & this can often be completely safe, ...IF....the lever does not come back too far towards the grip. DO NOT USE HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS on the rubber parts, not even briefly! It is OK to obtain some of above items USED, but I'd suggest a NEW master cylinder assembly. S A Master Sleeves Brake Repair, 33 Main Rd, Wynberg, Capetown, So. A very thin shim at a carrier bolt has a large effect. This is why the short jab may well dislodge the bubble & cause it to return to the MC, or, be expelled at the bleeder in some instances. More subtle, & seen more often, is to have them not retract as well as they should, which lets the pads stay in contact with the discs with too much pressure when they should hardly, just barely if anything, be touching. Thus, if YOUR particular system works fine with the added second disc with the original size master cylinder, you have that extra advantage of the smaller MC bore size for more braking (compared to what BMW used for DUAL discs), & no need to change the MC. The front fork cartridges have been replaced with the much more consistent FAC cartridges and progressive springs. They are vastl thicker and heavier than bike discs, most are made as if they were a double disc with cooling between them, and thus would not be appropriate for bikes, as the handling would be adversely seriously affected by the weight and inertia. This leads to high wear of the pads, overheated & warped discs, excessive deterioration of the fluid, & potentially BAD things to YOU if the brakes seize, or disappear. Some BMW airheads with twin front discs have ONE brake line leading to one caliper, and a crossover line to the other caliper. Failure to change nearly all of the fluid by properly bleeding the brakes may eventually cause the brakes to bind, seize, & MIGHT toss you over the handlebars. DO NOT sharply bend the hose! If the fluid in the caliper EVER boils due to hard braking (or, heat from pads that are not fully releasing) , YOU COULD DIE, due to ZERO BRAKES in a bad situation. If your brakes are awful, start with new fresh high friction linings on well-cleaned (after sandpapered) drums. A single tiny drop will be more than enough for the two pins. There is a LOT of pressure from the master cylinder, into the hose & caliper(s) when using hand or foot pressure. Brakes Quickview. The gauge tool should be flat, smooth, & the thickness fairly close to the original. HE (Germany) has 320mm semi-floating brake disk, mounting ring and caliper adapter.€ 225. Most other methods are too costly (such as larger drum size). He had to sign a waiver! NEVER EVER do those things! It is THIS problem that tends to drive folks crazy. If the shaft has too much play in its bushing, the braking will be poor ....repair that bushing area, and THEN to the filing of the brake shoe metal. BMW hoses are not usually very long, which tends to minimize the potentially SLIGHTLY softer feeling from using non-metal-braided hoses. The early O-rings were 10 x 2 mm, and were  36 21 1 239 134. The three-part brake hoses are available for R100CS 9/1980 - 9/1984, R2V 9/1980-* but NOT R45/65; 34 11 1 160 367/368. You might describe it as being slightly more spongy. This definitely helps air bubbles return to the MC, as well as allowing better syringing, less spilling likely, etc. It is especially critical on the swinging ATE calipers, if not aligned correctly. It is with great trepidation that I am selling my beloved R100. (unless you removed it). I know some who have used a press to fix most of any warpage. NEVER EVER have wet brake cleaner in the caliper when heating with a torch. The spacer should fit well, as you do not want the caliper pistons moving much at all when you are bleeding, to avoid possible dirty/corroded places on the pistons, which will wear the square O-ring that does the fluid sealing. brakes, and sometimes even aftermarket brakes, grafted onto Airheads. Tilting often works! Even the dust shield around the piston could be causing a problem, so check carefully. When a braking system is 'opened', and by that we mean such as a caliper overhaul, master cylinder overhaul, or installing a new hose, etc...  THEN slightly pressurizing the MC may work very well. If the mounting hole center to center distance is the same as your Airhead mounting holes, this is going to be a relatively easy job. Model … Modern motorcycles with the latest type of discs, calipers, & pad compounds are much less susceptible to this problem of gas-hydroplaning, & may not even have drilled discs. The handlebar master cylinder is on the right side and I find it best to rotate the bars somewhat to the left when doing the bleeding ....the idea is to move the MC to a higher ... and better angular ... position. This cam part (or, call it a pin) must be cleaned & lightly greased (antiseize compound, lightly, is BETTER) and adjusted properly. This is a classic teeter-totter. Allow cookies Decline. This MAY NOT BE a big problem, OFTEN NO PROBLEM ....which is contrary to what folks trying to sell you discs may state. If you have low bars, you need the appropriate length of upper brake hose. ), any slight obstruction acts as a goodly block. With systems having only ONE hose, and a crossover line with dual discs, bleed the furthest caliper in the system first. Best to use only brake fluid for final cleaning of the halves before reassembly, then wiping down with a lint-free cloth. 10. ...Compare with systems, such as Harley had at one time with DOT5 which is a silicone fluid. How do YOU KNOW if you already have these shoes? The 4 spot calipers from classic K bikes, as well as from Oilheads, will likely fit, with a little milling to the mounting tabs. The gas goes to the pad surface, and thereby makes a 'hydroplaning' type of layer that is exceedingly thin. They are designed for high stability under RELATIVELY HARSH conditions. To fit all R100 engines since 1987. Mechanical drum brakes come in two basic types. It is my belief that the thickness specifications are set first for heat accommodation ability ....thus, those that are not quite hard on their brakes may, no guarantees here!, continue to use the discs to quite a bit below minimum thickness specifications. This 'mineral oil' is absolutely NOT the same as mineral oil one can get at a drugstore. Use sparingly. I clean FIRST with a decent solvent. h.  07 11 9 919 112, plug, for the right side of the 'distributor'. By definition, DOT 3 fluids must have a minimum dry boiling point (measured with 0 percent water by volume) of 401°F and a minimum wet boiling point (measured with 3.7 percent water by volume) of 284°F. The brake cam lever that has those grooves can be updated, but you will likely have major problems getting the correct one, so that is why I say to just change the O-rings. Split caliper halves ONLY when really needed! Once all is assembled & caliper installed & system bled, finish the job by washing off hydraulic fluid drips from the caliper with plain water. I am unsure on ATE calipers. http://www.airheart-brakes.com/pdfs/MasterCylinder_Selection.pdf. I REALLY liked how that worked out. Bi-metal, Organic, semi-metallic, etc:   Made of various types of fibers, perhaps with soft metals added. Conventional (DOT3, DOT4) brake fluid absorbs moisture, which CAN be enough (especially in coastal climates) to start corrosion in the caliper & master cylinder, and those conditions can lead to costly parts replacement, or worse! AVOID using strong solvent cleaners ....they are almost always NOT safe with the various rubber parts. It will not accumulate very fast in a metal can with a metal cap, fairly tightly sealed, if the can is not opened for long periods; or, too often. To speed up the bleeding process, obtain a rubber baby-sized ear syringe from the drug store. For longest brake system life, your brake fluid probably needs yearly changing, as it attracts moisture, right through the NON-leaking lines fittings areas & air enters the master cylinder bolt & screw fastenings, etc. 5. Levers & Shifters BMW R100. :    There is, generally after 1980, one or more rubber O-rings on the REAR brake actuating shaft, in the SQUARE grooves in that shaft. Because the pads are so close to the disc already, usually ever-so-very-lightly touching the disc, the pistons/pads do NOT hardly move much, even for the strongest braking effort, and that also means only a quite small amount of fluid moves. This first step, #1, is to install rubber dampeners. There are even front wheels so marked on the rim .....some discs also have arrows for forward direction. I have already suggested that you try using original MC piston sizes first, when adding discs, etc. Remember that the rubber parts are very likely NOT compatible with strong cleaning solvents! For low bars, get the LONG mirror, or, whatever matches your current LEFT mirror, unless you are using bar-end mirrors, or? You try overnight waiting, you try vacuum methods, pressure methods ...and still no lever pressure. c.  32 72 2 310 747 is the 14 mm throttle and master cylinder assembly for years 1985 onwards,  this allows the keeping of your stock dual throttle cables. : "http://www.

Singing of springs can sometimes be fixed by stuffing them with a bit of rubber, or using the snap-on BMW rubber part. The Brembo 38 mm caliper repair kit does not include the piston, just the O-rings & cap seal. Syringe most out all of the fluid, except DO leave enough to cover the bleed-back depressed area at the bottom.

Smaller CAN ALSO MEAN using an existing size master cylinder and adding a second disc and caliper, or, a larger capacity caliper. The friction pad transmits the generated heat to the disc ...and to the fluid & caliper. This can happen with BMW's own pads too! On average, water accumulates in the brake fluid at up to 1% per year. If they come apart, you could be in for serious trouble. That level should normally DROP over a long period of time, as the brake pads wear, & it takes more fluid in the caliper to fill the space the piston previously occupied. Any wood block you use should be just thick enough to prevent the lever from coming back further than it should, & that amount is something you will have to estimate. Also check the servo is working properly if fitted (a duff servo normally gives you a hard pedal with a lack of braking force) and that the master cylinderseals are good (leaking seals give you a soft pedal, often slowly "sinking" if held under pressure). I've done some of these things. Price: $1,258.20. If you are having these sorts of problems, and are frustrated, keep in mind that you WILL solve the problem, and the problem PROBABLY came about because the system was opened.

It is best to do it this way because releasing the lever with the port open (or, rarely, lever stopped in movement) can SUCK IN air from the outside, something you do NOT want. For most, the better stopping is had by keeping the same, or even lower hand pressure on the handlebars lever, trading, so-to-speak, for longer movement of that lever. Watch. The specification says little more as far as the performance enthusiast is concerned. If incorrect, braking is poor, & squealing more likely. Petroleum brake fluids ("mineral brake fluid oil")  were used on cars for brakes & in suspensions. This plug is NOT needed if you have dual-discs. Water vapor gets inside from temperature changes, does not mix, and may form globules of water, that can turn into steam under hard braking...and you then have no brakes. I give practical advice in this article, that usually does not require special equipment. Some conversions have been done and posted to Adventure Rider, with details. The area around the holes for the bolts holding the calipers together will warp slightly, you cannot see it, but it happens, and the re-assembled caliper would weep fluid if you did not do what is necessary first. Oilhead & K bike brakes. Relatively common is corrosion of some sort on the pad pins or the retaining spring ...these parts should be cleaned & a tiny bit of moly grease or antiseize compound used on the pins.

I highly recommend you do NOT take caliper halves apart, unless absolutely necessary. If this does not work, the next thing is short sharp jabs at the lever, & tapping (I use a small hammer with a plastic head, but a plastic screwdriver handle also works well) at the area of hose connections, at MC outlet, etc. Moderator: Moderators … The R80 and R65 assembly innards can be different (throttle cam/chain assembly, for instance) from the R100 engine'd models. The limit marking is usually on the INside surface of the CARRIER, near the outer edge. For those of you with ATE under tank master cylinders, and want to replace the non-functioning brake fluid reservoir cap (34 31 1 234 469 -NLA) with a conventional "dumb" (ie non-level sensing) cap here's a part #: If the new SS line owner now bleeds properly and thoroughly, compared to what wasn't done previously, installing SS-covered lines can greatly improve braking feel (if reduction of sponginess means anything). when, in particular, stainless steel braided lines were installed. Furthermore you can find front brake discs in the original look and with a hole Grips BMW R100. Add up the total caliper piston area and compare to the unmodified system total piston area. ...then again let the bike sit overnight (don't tie the lever this time). Another method is not to use the other side type caliper, & mount to the side not having the disc (of course!) I am hesitant about even mentioning them here! AGAIN, note, this is only for a properly bled brake system that has a reasonably nice hard lever feel. If the holes are not cleaned, the crud in them will re-contaminate the pads. disk - 40 mm I think bigger than stock. Various forms of pressure and vacuum bleeding are in wide use. I've never seen a real problem if the modifications were done properly. One of the advantages of using mineral oils is that the manufacturer now has one more variable available to enable the type of lever feel, braking power, & a few other characteristics that a glycol fluid of only one viscosity available would not offer.

On FRONT brakes, as I have noted in this article, it is often perfectly OK, and even better on some bikes, models, years, to use the original master cylinder when adding, perhaps, a second disc to the front or changing a single spot caliper to a dual pot caliper on a one disc bike. WARNING!! Viscosity is an important factor for proper operation of ABS & Active Handling Control systems on modern vehicles since in most cases the pressure & volume of fluid transferred is not measured. By FMVSS116 standards, DOT 4 fluids must have a minimum dry boiling point of 446°F and a minimum wet boiling point of 311°F. The limit varies with the model. Ask him if he can handle the wheels ...which would be better, as drums distort faintly when re-spoked ...or you can precisely measure the drums & give him the measurements(??) I have found that most don't complain because their prior systems were worse! Was tricky, but I had a background on bike trailers and the problems using electrics on very light vehicles. Rotor part# Caliper part# L/R. Mineral oil for braking & suspension systems is generally about a 10 weight SAE & specially compounded for brake systems. DOT3/4 DOES absorb water molecules, which is a PLUS for SOME ways of thinking. After the major part of that pressure is relieved (one hopes), by releasing the lever, the final bit of pressure relief effect is from the caliper piston O-ring deformation, now pushing the piston back a quite small amount. I am well aware that BMW is specifying DOT4 fluid (look on the top of your master cylinder)   ....BMW ASSUMES you will do scheduled fluid replacement. Reportedly, the EPDM R-ring part 9557K72 from McMaster-Carr fits & works OK.
