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.

  • Complete rebuild for one Sumitomo brake caliper: new pistons, seals and hardware in one kit
  • Two polished 316L stainless steel "Lifetime" pistons (43 mm OD x 21 mm) replace pitted or corroded originals
  • 316L contains molybdenum for increased corrosion resistance and improved resistance to pitting from chloride (road salt)
  • Increased strength at elevated temperatures; superior to 303 and 304 grade stainless steel
  • Polished piston surface for smooth seal travel and free-moving pistons
  • High-quality, durable seals engineered for a precise fit and long-lasting, leak-free service
  • Includes copper crush washers, new bleed nipples and caps
  • Red rubber grease lubricates parts during assembly, protects against dry burn and keeps rubber seals from swelling or hardening
  • Packaged in a clamshell case that keeps parts organized and doubles as a work tray during assembly
  • Fits the front, rear or either caliper depending on model: confirm your year and model in the fitment table before ordering
  • Bleed the system with fresh fluid after installation; brake work should be performed by a qualified technician

At Brakecrafters, we strive to provide the most accurate fitment information in the industry. However, because much of our catalog covers vintage machinery—often relying on data that is 30 to 60 years old—it is impossible to guarantee 100% accuracy in every instance.

Please review the following terms regarding your purchase:

Our Commitment to Accuracy

  • Data Integrity: We continuously update our database to ensure our listings reflect the best available information.
  • Continuous Improvement: When a fitment error is identified, we don't just fix the order; we update our master records immediately to prevent the error from recurring for others.
  • The "Make It Right" Guarantee: If you receive a part that does not fit your specific year, make, or model despite our listing, we are committed to resolving the issue and ensuring you get what you need for a successful repair.

How You Can Help

In the rare event of a discrepancy, we may ask for your assistance. This might include providing:

  1. Photos of the original part alongside the new part.
  2. Casting numbers or specific measurements from your master cylinder or calipers. Use Millimeters for better Accuracy.
  3. VIN or Production Date information is not actually helpful to us; we are not a brand dealer.

Your feedback is a vital part of maintaining the integrity of the vintage motorcycle community's technical data. By working together, we can keep these classic machines on the road safely.

Note: Always verify your specific components before beginning installation. If something looks different than the OEM part you removed, please contact us before proceeding with the rebuild.
