Tbh it's been so long since I cleaned a set of 650 calipers (front and rear) that I can't remember it the outer seal has the ridge or not. I imagine it does as the caliper serves no different function to the fronts, really.

I'd it a sliding caliper like the fronts, or a solid unit? Maybe the sliding pin is fudged. All seems really odd this!
