Hi everyone,
I'm riding a 2016 vstrom dl1000 and am suffering from a case of spongy front brakes.
Attached are my calipers, they are off a Suzuki - I'm trying to find out exactly what bike.
From what I understand so far, GSXR 600/750/1000 and Hayabusa from ~2008 uses this style of calipers.
I'm headed to Japan in a few days and will be getting a full oem rebuild kit including pistons in a bid to solve my sponginess - I've tried many things to fix this but nothing helps.
Rebuilt the calipers with a caliper seal kit for my vstrom, just stays spongy after. Deduced that the vstrom OEM caliper piston might be smaller than a Hayabusa one and oil might be getting past the seals.
Tldr: is there a way to tell which bike this caliper belongs to? Checked out partzilla for the above bikes and there are 3 different part numbers for the piston rebuild kit for what looks like the exact same caliper..
