Quick question, what is the part No for standard TRX front caliper? Also does any one have any reccomendations for rear caliper? I find the standard set up wooden and it seizes up way to easily

If you use the forums search facility there`s a TRX parts list on here but SHHHH, don`t tell Mr Yamaha.
And rear calipers are commonly changed for R1 or R6 bluespots but there`s caliper mountings to consider, it`s not a straightforward unbolt one type of caliper and bolt on another.I don`t know of a different caliper that`ll fit the TRX mounting.That`s not to say there isn`t one though, maybe another member will know?
Still not too difficult though, know any engineering/toolmakers shops? :wink:

I think Steve has fitted a Fazer 1000 blue spot rear caliper on a Fazer 600 hanger with some simple mods. Try finding a Fazer 1000 caliper for £sensible though. I've got a small (smaller than the standard TRX one anyway) Brembo 2 pot from a Piaggio scooter to use on my TRX when I start rebuilding it (soon...)

Fazer thou rear bluespot, I didn`t think ANY Fazer had rear bluespots, You sure it wasn`t an R1/R6 bluespot Kayla?

Yes, pretty sure.

But it was only the early ones that had the blue spot so they tend to go for quite good money on ebay and don't hang around long.
