Rear Brake Caliper Question?

[Thack82]

I've just about finished my 04 Yamaha Banshee XC build and I need your help with a Rear Brake Caliper Question I have. I'm running Stock OEM YFZ-450 Front Calipers and Brake Lines, Stainless Steel Factory Spec Rotors, and Factory Spec Semi-metallic Brake Pads. In the Rear I was running the stock Banshee Rear Brake set up with a Billet Brake Fluid Reservoir, Billet Parking Brake Block Off Plate , and Factory Spec Rear Rotor and Brake Pads.

 

I took my Swing arm off and sent it to B&B Powder Coating and had it Sand Blasted, Stripped, and Powder Coated Silver. When I cot it back I replaced all the Bearings Carrier, and Front Swing Arm Bearing Kit with new All Ball's Performance Bearings. When I got read to reinstall the rear Brake Caliper it had seized up tight. I cracked the bleeder and tried to push the Pistons back but I didn't get any where. To make a long story short I ended up destroying the Caliper. So now I'm looking for a new rear Brake Caliper for a decent price. all of them I'm running across are $100+, but I did find a 2003 660R Raptor caliper on eBay in great shape for $60 shipped. So here are the questions I need answered:

 

• Will The 2003 Yamaha 660R Raptor Brake Caliper Work on my 2004 Yamaha Banshee?
• Will a YFZ-450 Brake Caliper Work on My 2004 Banshee?
• Is The Any Advantage Running The YFZ Caliper VS The Banshee Caliper?

Please get back with me on this as soon as possible. I need to get a Caliper ordered so I can ride next weekend. Thanks again guys for all your help.

from my knowledge, there is no bolt on caliper from any other quad that will work.

 

also just get a SS line for the rear and you will be good. no need to upgrade the rears as around 70% of the stopping power comes from the front, it might be even as high as 85% on a banshee.

 

A warrior cal will work. I stole one from my wifes warrior to put on my banshee. Plus you can get rebuild kits.

i thought the mounting bracket on the warrior was a tad different, i know the warrior caliper i had was a little different. but the caliper itself are the same.

 

and i think he is looking for an upgrade, not another shitty design caliper.

 

Gotchya. It bolted right up. I didnt notice that the mounting bracket was diff. They are both 98 so maybe some years differ. Dont know.
