FZR 400 Front Brakes Severely Binding?

[MarkT]

Yes of course, hope it all goes together ok!!

[Hogdigerdy Dog]

It's the piston sizes and therefore the seals that are common not necessarily the calipers.

spot on ec
most of the bikes mentioned that this seals kit fits have blue spots,
which is what made me check just to make sure, and as for as i can see their all the same as the tj

Dear Mr Hogdigerdy,
Thank you for your order.
We cannot confirm that the kit you have received will fit the FZR400 as we do
not have the front brake seals listed.

what a load of bollocks
looks like they sold me something they aint got, as the listing was taken down the next day,
then kept me waiting for 2 weeks before sending me something they can't guarantee will work as it's not for my bike rather than just giving me a refund
does anyone know if these will actually fit
cos once i strip the calipers down i'm effectively off the road till i get another set if they don't

[MarkT]

What dickheads!! Not a place I am ever going to buy from. You know I don't know if they will fit or not but at least if need be you have 7 days for a refund due to distance selling regulations.

[Evilchicken0]

Why didn't you just ring them up ???

[Hogdigerdy Dog]

Why didn't you just ring them up ???

i did ring them up between the first 2 emails and this was when they said they would send another seal kit to replace the one that never turned up, only they sent the wrong ones and are now trying to pass the buck to me

"Thank you for your order.
We cannot confirm that the kit you have received will fit the FZR400 as we do

like it's my fault

and they did have them listed when i ordered and paid for them

AND it get's better
just phoned em up again and they don't have the fzr400 seal kit and no, the one they sent won't fit
then i pointed out they still have the separate seals (27 & 30mm) listed so put 4 dust and oil seal for each size in a pack and that's a kit simples
do we he said well they wont fit either and should have been taken down as well, send em back and we'll give a refund
so after over 2 weeks of fannying about i still don't have a seal kit and anyone who has ordered some in that time also has the wrong ones
the worst bit is they know they won't fit but have done nothing to alert their customers to this balls up

[MarkT]

Nightmare!!

[Hogdigerdy Dog]

sorry for the post highjack woody

if you ordered those seals from wemoto double check you got the right ones as their still advertising fzr400 rr seals but sending out the 600/1000 kits even though i was assured the listing will be taken down, if you buy the single seals their the same and won't fit either
the pistons are the same size diameter but the width of the seal is bigger so they'll not fit in the groove properly

hope your getting further than i am

[Hogdigerdy Dog]

so the plot thickens

sent the seal kit back last sat as the numty i spoke to at wemoto on the phone said they wont fit and a refund will be given and they'll take down the listing as it's wrong
OK thinks i all i need now is to find someone else who does em

well tuesday i get a phone call from the main man at wemoto, (ramone i think that's how you spell it)
"why you send the seal kit back what wrong" (he's foreign but makes more sense than the English bloke)
after 10 mins of explaining what had happend, he checked out my order on his computer and said there is a note here that says they don't fit but i don't understand as i'm looking at the phish and there the same part numbers so they should fit

anyway, the upshot of which is i got the seal kit back again yesterday with instructions to see if it fit's and let em know, if not keep em and we'll find something else for you or give you a refund, bloody descent chap

so tomorrow we'll see if they fit and if they do i'll let him know and they can re-list the 400 seal kit

[MarkT]

Fingers crossed!
Regards
Mark
