I just received my bearing carrier that says its for "250r 86 and 400ex" ...well the brake stay I have is waaay too big for the carrier I received...did they send me the wrong thing or do I have to get an adapter plate or something for this new carrier?

I'm not really sure (I bought this bike used) but i'll take some pictures and show you what I'm talking about.

Here the brake stay is too big for the carrier and also the ring clamp is too big...WTF is this the wrong carrier or do I have to buy another brake stay?

This is a simple problem, just buy a stock brake stay. Or if you buy an aftermarket one make sure it's not for a tapered carrier.

ooh ok I didn't know a tapered bearing carrier has a different sized brake stay...i think i'll get a 450r brake setup on the rear since my rear caliper is messed up anyway.
