Hi, I have never in the four and a half years of ownership ever had the callipers off my bike, I have ridden in the rain twice maybe three times during ownership. Therefore know nothing about them other than they are at both ends of the bike. I fitted braided stainless olines about 3 years ago, brilliant upgrade.
There appears to be four pots to each of the two front callipers, but how many pots/pistons in the rear, it is the standard FZS600 calliper on the rear and not the 1K upgrade. I know some callipers have only one piston and the calliper floats.
Reading this post I might just whip them off and send them off for a refurb, the bike has done 37K miles now and is 14 years old. Refurb prices look very reasonable at £39 for a single/twin pot calliper.
Plus new stainless pistons if needed at 20 quid a pop plus recoating/spraying if wanted. When I get my lazy retired arse out of bed I will give them a bell :lol :lol ffs is 8-30 already.
Got to get a curry knocked up and in the slow cooker for me and her tonight. :rolleyes
