Gasket sealer on final drive?

Hey all: I partially disassembled my 84 R100's final drive a few days ago. Neither the gasket for the drive to the swingarm or the gasket between the "cover" and the main housing appear to have come from the factory with a sealer on them. I know that there's not much pressure, but no seale...

Re: Weeping Brembo caliper

Steve:

That is a very real possibility. I used a dab of Brembo seal conditioner to hold it in place, but maybe it slipped, maybe the seal conditioner was a bad idea. I will try again after I finish the rear part of the bike.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: R90S final drive re-seal needed

Don't why the other reply is not here.

Anyway, here is the video for the 2 sided swingarm final drives.

Re: R90S final drive re-seal needed

OK: Here is the video applicable to our bikes, with the two sided swingarm. Ignore the other video. Does not apply.

Re: R90S final drive re-seal needed

Cray: I'm in the midst of that very job. The reason I'm tackling it is that none of the dealers or shops around here (Southern CO) want to do it. If all you need to do is replace the seal on both sides of the axle the there is an excellent video on Boxer two valve. You just need a heat gun and some ...

Re: Weeping Brembo caliper

Thanks to all that have replied! Barry: Yes I was very reticent to add more torque to the two caliper bolts, as that same torque sealed the left front caliper perfectly. Should have recognized that something was amiss, but figured why not give it a try. I remember using around 45 ft lbs which is wit...

Re: Weeping Brembo caliper

Thanks for the reply Zombie Master. The weeping still occurs after I rebuilt with new Brembo parts. Will try again. But good advice on not using aftermarket parts for brakes.

My issue is that the right caliper weeps brake fluid when the brake is applied. The left does not. I have tried applying additional torque to the bolts to no avail. I have a...
