Caliper Pistons
Posted: Sat Jan 27, 2007 1:37 am
Hi all,
I am in the middle of building two ZXR400 H2's one as a fun bike for the road and the other a track bike.
Anyway while waiting for a load of parts to come back from being powder coated I decided to service the calipers. There seems to be a common theme although the pistons all work ok and none of the seals are leaking the fibrax (or whatever it is, top of each piston) section of the pistons have all crumbled away. How important is this to the functionality of the the brakes as it's gonna coat a small fortune to replace all the pistons.
TIA
Dal
