I would also recommend you don't reuse any old seals even the caliper body seal it will leak, maybe not straight away but it will, don't say I didn't tell you.
I if I need to split then I will put in new seals - thank you. But how many do I need and from where do I get em. bandits post is very helpful but I dont lie the look of those new ones.

Ah - so you did - my bad -thank you. I am having a massive wobble on the "kit" because when you click on it the next page only show 1 side https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/view/51L-W0057-00
If splitting the caliper body it requires 2 seals not one.
This is another confirmation, these only sell genuine parts for the part No 51W00570000 you get 2 pistons, dust and main seals. https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/en/yamaha-parts/51lw00570000
Just heard back from fowlers and although they can not check right now they are confident it is 2 pistons.I cannot find the GS500 caliper split washer on fowlers as a separate item I would like to find it on fowlers so I can add it to the order if I can.
Your will need two trust me the GS500E has only one rear piston so only needs one body seal the Fzs600 as you know has two opposing ones look on Yambits & Powerhouse you need two as supplied their in the pic on Powerhouse & Yambits says two required.

Great thanks but maybe i am not looking at the correct picture but its £16.44 and all I will be needing is 1 rubber washer
O.K then but I don't mean the piston fluid seals or dust seals as I have already stated on two different sites, these are neither & it says two?

The same goes for you offering advice to people on how to do things especially brakes when, by your own admission you've never done it and you clearly don't really know what your doing.
