front brake piston

[KDXWonder]

I was pretty sure that the washers weren't supposed to be there. From the research I did, it does look like and 89 caliper/front end. Is there a part number somewhere on the front that I can make sure it is an 89? Another issue with the caliper is that the pads hang off the rotor by about an 1/8". Pretty sure this is not the way it should be either. Trying to figure out what I have so I can try and make it right. Much appreciated...

I can send you a picture of my stock 89 front end to compare . I cant think of any other way to identify the problem other than measureing and comparing to known correct parts .good luck

I decided to dig a little deeper into the issue. I checked the VIN # and the bike is 91' which explains a lot. I bought the bike off Craig's list from a bike shop. They told me it's a 94'. At least I know now what I have and can build on that. The only thing that is not right now is that the front pads hang off the rotor a little. Does your 89' do that?

No it doesnt

I'm having an issue now with the front brake pad falling out all the time. The spring retainer is installed but every time I apply the brakes, the pad falls out. The front wheel has a 10 93 marked on it. Is this the manufacture date?
