Pitted, corroded pistons and hardened seals are the usual cause of dragging brakes, a soft lever and weeping calipers. The BrakeCrafters Brake Caliper Rebuild Kit with 316L Stainless Steel Pistons is a complete, one-box rebuild for the Sumitomo caliper on your Yamaha V Star 1100, Vmax 1200, FJ1200, FJ1100, YZF600R, FZR600, FZR1000, Venture, Radian 600, FZR400, FZ600, FZ750, Fazer 700 and other select 1983-2009 models.
Two polished 316L stainless steel "Lifetime" pistons replace the worn originals. 316L contains molybdenum for superior resistance to corrosion and road-salt pitting, stays strong at elevated temperatures and outperforms 303 and 304 grade stainless, while the polished finish lets the new seals glide smoothly for free-moving pistons and consistent pad pressure. Fresh pressure seals, dust seals, joint seal O-rings, bleed nipples with caps, copper crush washers and BrakeCrafters red rubber grease are all included, so nothing worn goes back into the caliper.
The kit rebuilds one caliper. Depending on your model it fits the front caliper, the rear caliper, or either one; check the fitment table for your year and model before ordering.
