Searched other threads, seen that they can be stripped & cleaned OK, read through the manual, but what should I have ready as a minimum.
Brakes are not giving any problems, but want to go through them before the bad weather starts.
So, what should I get ready incase b4 i strip;
1./ seal sets
2./ Red rubber grease
3./ brake cleaner

what else, should I get new bolts? pins? pads?
would hate to take em appart & not have essential kit.
any suggestions please chaps.......

Do you need it daily? If not I'd say strip it and see, wemoto will send you bits out next day if you need.

Parts for every eventuality are seal kits, pads, R clips, pistons.
