http://www.xschopper.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Follow me on my project as I purchase a Yamaha XS650, get it running and registered and then chop it into what hopefully is a sweet scoot that I can get out on and tear up the roads.

Follow me on my project as I purchase a Yamaha XS650, get it running and registered and then chop it into what hopefully is a sweet scoot that I can get out on and tear up the roads. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. The other weekend I started on cleaning up the brakes, as they had been disconnected a while and looked like they needed a good clean. With lots of air and then pushing the piston back into the caliper I was able to eventually get the piston free. A few pics of the calipers:. Monday, May 3, 2010.
