Hi Bobdod... I find it's good practice to keep an eye on these Fazer/R1 brakes as they do get a bit crabby; causing them to stick and bind occasionally.
I remove my calipers every so often, remove the pads and clean the pistons in situ with WD40 & a pain brush.
I hope this helps...

Advice for the 600 in the thread below but front calipers are the same
http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,6995.0.html
I believe genuine Yam seals are considerably more than £20, unless they've radically changed their pricing! More like £20 a seal...
Although pattern seals are indeed often poor & ill fitting, I've gone with Nikone seals in the past with good effect.

Mines a 2004 model.
Every year I remove the pads, push the pistons out a touch and thoroughly clean using brake cleaner (I don't fancy using WD40).
Once I've got em all nice and clean, I give the pistons a smear of Red Rubber Grease and stick the pads in. Give the brake fluid a wee bleed and she stops again like new. And I've still got the rubber hoses fitted.
Don't spend the money on the seals unless they really are focced.
