Hi everyone,
Been doing some brake work on friends bike and some of the pots are in need of replacing. After looking at replacment pots i've noticed that some have a ceramic cores and others don't.
I've asked about at dealers and so on but noone can give me a difinite answer.
So my Q is whats the difference and does it have an impact.
I've measured the heights and they are the same.
I'm sure someone on here will have the answer. cheers.
caliper pots/pistons

Something to do with heat transfer I would suspect

Yer thats one of the answer i got. but then the argument is which is best at keeping the heat out of the brake fluid. either an air gap or a ceramic filling and does it even make a difference.... much tea was drunk.
anyway went with after-market non ceramic pots.
will do some sort test and see how they get on.
cheers again.

So far as brakes go I'd have genuine Kawasaki every time.
