Hello all,
I have a 99 curvy sv. I needed a replacement rear caliper so I got one from the breakers. It was a caliper off a new shap 2 year old sv. The suzuki dealer i called said that there was no difference between the rear caliper on a curvy or a new shape. The caliper that arrived is different totally. It is a single pot Nissin caliper. The breaker claims it is off an SV. Can any of you provide information about changes in caliper away from the original tokico type? I believe this caliper is more likely a front caliper (single sided 1 pot). Do new SV use nissin on the front ? Any help gratefully received before I insert this caliper up the a..E of a surly breaker :-0 |

I would guess all suzuki calipers that hang down on bracket from 90's to present
![]() there is actually nice black hollow caliper hanger from katana or bandit that works.it is about 3mm longer and slight bevel on pads is needed.it looks bling ![]() just found info,it is 89 katana 600 bracket. Last edited by zadar; 14-12-07 at 11:04 PM. |

Did the refurb thing. Unfortunatly the reason I had to is that the bleed nipple had sheared. When i drilled and tapped I nicked the seat so when ever you brake you also squirt brake fluid. Not the best plan!
So was the dealer (mickey oates glasgow) spinning rubbish? |

Yep, dealer talking rubbish. Mine is a Busa caliper, it's exactly the same as the SV one (though the pistons looked a bit different) but obviously far cooler as it's off a Busa. That makes it officially a Mod.

Morning all.
I believe Derbybiker has a similar caliper fitted to the rear of his Curvy. It's definitely mounted above the swinging arm. You could PM him & find out exactly what it is that he has. Cheers. |

Pete you hit the nail right on the head with the drawing. Instead of inserting the caliper up the breaker it is the supposed expert dealer that sold me a pup and said the calipers were the same.
Should of asked you bunch first. Thank you for all your comments. Any one looking for a K3 caliper! ![]() |
