Hi All. I have been performing some maintenance on my 'new-to-me' 2011 HS700. Typical maintenance items: front wheel bearings, stuck brake caliper sliders, brake pads, caliper rubbers, exhaust bushings, lower shock bushings. Upon replacing the exhaust bushings I noticed that the park brake rotor is contacting the exhaust (right where the bushing goes). It would have previously not been in contact only as a result of the bushing having been worn out. Has anyone run into this issue and if so, how were you able to fix it? I am currently considering a shim under the rear engine mounts to get a bit of clearance between the exhaust bushing and the park brake rotor. Thanks!

I recently replaced my rear driveshaft on my 08 Commando 650. Unfortunately, the parking brake rotor was welded to the old one, and the new one did not have one. The folks at Joyner recommended just moving the caliper to the rear wheel as there is a second bracket I could mount it to. However, the brake line is too short to reach that bracket, anyone done this reposition before? Are there standard size brake lines and fittings that I can buy to move it? Right now I have it bolted back up to the factory bracket but it sucks to not have a parking brake.

I'm new on this forum, so please forgive me if there's been a thread on this subject before. I did do a search and have found refs to other threads, but haven't found a reply to this issue. First off: Crappy brakes. Noticed that the pads ony contact about two thirds of the actual disc width area, and what's with the two caliper deal on the back wheel??? Anyone found a caliper replacement, perhaps from a motorcycle or small car that might fit and give the brakes some extra bite? Winch issue: Doesn't work. Traced the power to the octastyle relay above the battery, which is fused. A new one is on the way from Joyner-usa.com ([email protected], contact bryan). Is there anything else I should change or be worried about winch-wise? We´re volunteers and use this in central america to reach communities that can only be reached on horseback or rugged vehicle, so we need a reliable winch. Thanks for all your help!
