Darssi, My rear caliper is like new as I completely stripped it cleaned and put back together with new seals etc last winter. But my fronts have only ever just been cleaned out since I got the bike.

I'm pretty sure the pistons are all moving ok but I'm going to be changing the brake lines so while I have them off then I'm going to be replacing the piston seals and polishing up the pistons. After I've put that back together and tried it out then I'll see if there is still a problem, if there is I'll be changing the discs.  :)

I thought i recalled you talking about stripping down a caliper on here before, wasn't sure if it was front or back though.  :)

Yeah did the back end last year as it was in more need of it. I wonder if it's worth overhauling the master cylinder while the lines are off etc?

Good advice on the allen key front  8) I've got a really good set, not sure what make they are but they're like new and worked fine when I had the discs off to get the wheels powder coated.

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.
