i have a 2003 650 now done 24000. the brakes need attention, any ideas where to get caliper kits from? and what sort of price to pay?

www.wemoto. (google it?)
Think they're about £40.

Best place is wemoto

Front end:
full over haul kits are about 50 notes for the rubbers
seals are 25.
Bolt kits are 50quid i think

Not too sure for the rear calipers

ok, i though m&p would be the place but nothing, not even on ebay!

Are seals leaking or what? I would not replace seals just for fun

Check them and see if they can be cleaned with pistons in situ, if not the strip them down and clean, put them all together using correct red rubber grease. Most times you will not need to replace seals.

Personally I would strip them as matter of course. Preventative maintenance

im with most others. strip them down and see.
crud/corrosion can build up behind the seal making the pistons very hard to move.
once you take the seals out they may be swelled a little making it tricky to get them back in.
wemoto are ok for seal parts but i have had inferior pattern seals from them before. i found their seals a bit hit and miss, some were very tight.

Cheers guys, they have done 25000 mile, I've had it since 10000 and not touched them. I'm thinking they will not be pretty.
