Rear caliper seals

#1 PostAuthor: Fred the Zed » Wed Jul 30, 2014 5:55 pm

The rear brake is binding...Much of a job to change the seals?? Where can I get the parts from?

Done mine numerous times having owned my Z1R for 30yrs.
The groove tends to get gummed up with oxidisation, therefore pushing the seals tight against the pistons.
Spend some time cleaning it all out thoroughly before replacing the seals.
