XJ Front Caliper Rebuild Kit

[jacksf]

Anyone know where these can be found? I have found lots of places that have the kits for the rear but nothing for the front. Are the XS the same calipers as the XJ? Lots of those available.

Thanks

Hey Jack,

Yamaha changed the design of the pads and calipers for the XJ vs. the XS Specials, but apparently kept the same pistons and dimensions, cause on Partsnmore, the kit for the XJ front, is the same as for the Special front calipers. PNM are currently OUT OF STOCK of those kits, but you may find them elsewhere, just order for 79-81Specials Front! The Part # is 29-0128. Same numbers are used on OldBikeBarn. They state this kit fits many models, the XJ650, 750, XV920, and checking the parts fiche, they show the same root number for the piston assembly.

XV920: 2G2-W0057-00-00 PISTON ASS'Y, CALIPER
82XJ1100: 4W1-W0057-00-00 PISTON ASS'Y, CALIPER
82XJ650: 2G2-W0057-00-00 PISTON ASS'Y, CALIPER

So, I'm pretty sure it'll take the same kit! Just don't order one for the Standards, they ARE different designed ca;ipers!

How do find out if PNM is out of stock?

T.C.
Do you have to go all the way through the order process to find out if Parts-n-more has a part?

Since I saw this message first I can answer. You just click on the "add to order" button. It will bring you to another screen which will tell you that the part is not in stock and to send a e-mail to them to be notified when it comes in.
