Caliper seal
 

Everyone seems to be servicing their calipers these days so where did you get your replacement seals from? & how much?
Took the rear off my ZX6R and it looked like the seal was stiking past the piston at one point & I couldn't push the piston back into the caliper.

I believe the rear on a ZX6R is the same as an SV caliper.

Here's a good start. Think you get a tub of red rubber grease in the service kit. Prices are ok too

Yes, the wemoto kit is good. Contains all the rubber parts of the calipers, and not just the piston seals. As you say, also includes a tub of red grease equivalent (actually pink in this IIRC :)).

As to compatibility with other bikes, yes lots of other bikes share the same size/type of caliper seals. I once ordered some Suzuki ones and was given official Honda parts! They were exactly the same size/type as the Suzuki ones.

+1 for wemoto, good service and posted very promptly and as said comes with some pink grease so no need to buy anything else, also do most other spares so could get them at same time

Re: Caliper seal
 

Thanks, so do I need the full kit or just the dust seals kit?

If it's just the rear caliper you should only need the seals although some people will say you need to change the small seal in the caliper if you split it

Re: Caliper seal
 

oh and i normally get mine from wemoto as well

Re: Caliper seal
 

spares direct are bloody good too

Re: Caliper seal
 

+ 1 for wemoto.

Many other manufacturers parts work simply because the bike manufacturer doesn't make the callipers, in the Japanese market they are all either Nissin or Tokico.
