SV rear caliper on a Bandit? - SV650.org

pmapp · 30-04-07, 06:08 PM

After a bit of help for a friend if anyone knows?

His rear caliper is shot, bike been laid up for some time. One of the pistons is solid and also ****led in the caliper. Also one of the bolts is solid so I can't split it.

So as I'm huffing and puffing at this caliper I notice a striking resemblence to mine - offer it up and it LOOKS identical. Uses same pads - so will one off the Curvy fit?

Any help would be greatly appreciated (does anyone have one kicking about too?).

Cheers,
Phil

Suppose I should say it's a Suzuki Bandit '96 P Reg 600.

Quite likely- the same caliper also appears on GSXR SRADs and Busas, and probably TLs as well.

Owned a Bandit 600 and I'm pretty sure it's the same caliper, just check the mounting point for the toque arm is the same...

Been used on every suzuki since the dawn of time that thing... works well though!
