2000 kx 250 front brakes- rear brakes

[Kawasakinut]

hello again got a question. anyone know what  a front caliper costs new (only the part that that holds the pistons)? another question how much does the rear brake part (the one that slides on the swingarm cost new? i'm thinking of buying new. i'm tired of looking at my beat down parts. again these parts are for a 2000 kx 250. thanks

If you go to http://www.ronayers.com/ they have an online micro fiche you can look up the parts you want and when you add them to your basket it gives you the price. Most of your cast aluminum parts can be made to look new with a glass bead blaster if you do not own one you should if like doing things like this. You can get a blast cabinet relatively cheep from http://www.harborfreight.com/. If you get one there are all sorts of stuff you need to know about using one but that would probably be a whole new topic to be covered.

i think i have a spare front caliper off a 99. if i can find it i'll let it go for shipping costs.

If your trying to remove the pistons from the caliper, try compressed air. Tie a rag around the caliper so you dont shoot the piston across the shop. Use a rubber tipped blow gun and put the tip in the brake line hole. Close the bleeder. You wont need alot of pressure so be careful. Dont stand in front of it when doing this!

You have to use shellac on turds. I recommend five to six coats so you get that nice deep shine.

I like those guys but one thing you have to remember is they have to get the parts and then they send them to you so it can take a while to get your stuff. Here is another web site with some good prices and rates as one of my favorites http://www.midwestactioncycle.com/

Midwest Action is great for OEM parts and expert customer service. I use them alot and pay a portion of the overhead there. They have most OEM parts in stock, but they also gather aftermarket parts and sometimes backorder out of stock items. Motosport Outlet is the best for after-market upgades and no Ship and handling charges for purchases over $100. They also have free 2-day shipping, so you almost always get everything three days after the order is made. Thats important to me, because after the order, I'm watchin for the boxes at the door like a freak.....
Between the two of them they have had everything I've needed for my bikes.
Example; Motosport has that top-end kit for your 250 w/ wiseco piston for only $130.
