Hi All,

I have a '96 Skorpion Tour
One of the problems I had when I got it, was that the front brake caliper was seized on the two inner pots. I freed them off OK, but the damage was already done... The disc has been pushed over.....Dished, if you like...I priced up a replacement from the UK importer...Comes in at over £90 + VAT + P+P

Please does anyone know of discs from other bikes that fit...or any other info (part nos. sources etc) on compatible replacements...Brembo or whatever?

TIA

Nige.

It has been said (on this list) that Yamaha 600's front calipers work.

Please, Someone verify.

its the discs, not the calipers that work, and afaik, this is only for the baghira/mastiff...if the skorp uses the same front disc, then it should fit that too

'Whysub' informs me that the brakes on the Baghira & Skorpion are different.

The Skorpion part number is 9013164000. If that helps anyone to identify it.

TIA

Baggi SM and hence R6 sized disc part number is 9014268000. This signifies that the R6 disc will not fit. It is however the same part number as the Mastiff with ally wheels fitted.

So no known alternatives to the original part then?

Ahh, who will answer the the great rotor question??? :roll:

EBC makes a brake rotor for my '02 Traveller, which should be the same as the Tour. Do a Google on EBC and you should find the UK distributor, which is where I was able to find mine. It's usually a special order so it will take a few weeks.

Good rotor though and great folks to deal with.

Thanks a lot, Chris.

Useful information there.

Checked up!

Yes they do it....

but....

About £40 more expensive than the OEM part!

Unless anyone else has any suggestions, looks like I will have to bit the bullet on this one.

TIA

If you are in the UK ring BSA Regal, 02380-366404. They are a UK importer of MZ's and spares, I have used them many times and find them friendly and helpful, and they usually get the stuff to me next day....

The only alternitive is to get you steel rule out and go to a bike meet or shop and measure up some brake rotors on other bikes. You might get some funny looks, but if it saves money its worth it.
I would look at the Yamaha range first.

Thanks..

Yeah I know about the importer. That is who I got my quoted price from. I have dealt with them on a few occasions and have always had decent service. I just wanted to see if there was a more reasonably priced option.

I take your point about autojumbles, but we don't get many, if any, over here. Might have to try the steel rule trick yet. :wink:

Thanks again for input, folks.

Yes, thanks for the link but......

That's fine if you happen to be in America!

By the time it is shipped over it will not be viable, I would think.
