Hello, and thanks for reading this and offering your insight.


I have a 98 FZS600 which has terrible problems with its rear brake caliper. I have rebuilt it before however the same problem keeps occurring with the pistons getting jammed at an angle. This time its so seized that even I am willing to admit defeat 


To be fair this bike has been used as a commuter hack for years through winters and all - its a hell of a good bike and this is the only significant problem I have had in 8 years.


I don't want to replace it with a stock caliper from ebay, because they suck and need constant cleaning. Does anyone know of a cost effective aftermarket caliper that will fit so that I can get through an MOT? The bike is only worth ~£900 so I'm not aiming high.


Cheers.

Is it at certain rev ranges? My screen was rattling at around 2000-3000 revs and making a right racket. I found some sticky-backed velcro and sandwiched it around the uppermost bolts that hold the screen in and that seems to have sorted it =/

You have me all curious now because I was also misguided and thought we had thundercat engines. What do we actually have?
