Baghira Master cylinder rebuild kit??

Postby bridgetthemidget » Thu May 08, 2008 10:38 am

I need help, I'm trying to find a rebuild kit for the rear Grimeca master cylinder for my 03 Baghira. Any idea's? Does anyone know of any cross reference parts from Yamaha or Honda that might work?
Thanks :?

The master cylinder on the Baggy (and your '03 shouldn't be any different than my '05) is a very unique item. It's a Grimeca setup that is apparently unique to MZ (even Grimeca doesn't appear to carry replacement parts for it). I doubt that any other rebuild kit would be useful.

Probably the best thing to do would be to go through an MZ parts supplier. If you're in the U.S. try SF Moto (415.255.3132, http://www.sfmoto.com/). They appear to still be having good success ordering parts from Germany. If you're across the pond, there's a working parts supplier there (Grahams?). Search the board. There's been a lot written about them lately.

Hope that helps.

I called them and they are very nice people, the wait time for an order is around 4-6 weeks just to have enough stuff on there order to place it to Germany. That's kind of rough but what can you do.

KTM 400 520 300 250 125 rear master cylinder is a direct bolt on replacement, found one used on ebay for $45.00

Are we talking bolts up to the bracket suitably, or identical caliper? It would be nice if the KTM rebuild kit also worked for the Baggy.

BTW, I'm assuming that is the LC4 caliper, no? There seem to be a few parts interchangeable between the KTM LC4s and the Baggy (although I can't think of any others off the top of my head).
