Thnkx daviee, I know the 1000 fits, question was if any [size=78%]manufacturers other than Yamaha had the same rear calliper dimensions as the 600 -  asked on notion that , like carbon bicycle manufacture, there are not scores of factories making calipers, so it’s likely any one factory will make them for several brands ...so say for example circa 96 onwards ‘maybe’ Suzuki/ Honda etc used a rear calliper that would fit.......or maybe not. It’s just a curiosity. [/size]

Little bit of TLC and red rubber grease once or twice a year and the original rear caliper works just fine.

Forgot to mention, i tend to use SBS Ceramic pads on the rear these days which help in keeping the brake dust down which is a big cause of seizing if not maintained regularly.
Organic pads for example would be the softest pads so would be very gentle on the disc but kick out the most dust.
