am i right in thinking that kh250,z650,z900,z1000 all use the same front caliper .there is just the disc thickness diffrence if its single or double ?
dragracing, because it takes more than one ball !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes you are right but the KH250 disc is slightly smaller diameter.

Hi Ade
Don't forget that the bikes with caliper in front of fork (Z900, Z650B1, Z1000A1) have the bleed nipple in the top centre next to the brake pipe union.
The ones for bikes with rear mount calipers have the bleed nipple offset.
Other than that they look pretty identical so watch out.

Cheers from Mark
