sticky piston which sorted.... then....

pushed the piston in and i put a hole in the face of the piston. little bar i use slipped.

better too get a caliper or replace piston??

any1 have a rear caliper ????

Wow, never heard of that before.

Is it a Brembo? You can't get many (if any) spares for Brembos so a new Caliper may be the only way. I'd try to replace the piston only though especially if the rest is in good nick.

You must be the Irish version of The Incredible Hulk

Sorry, the only one I've got is on my bike.

I know spares for Brembos are hard to find but Mangocrazy did (eventually) uncover a source of the almost-unobtainable seals:

I'm guessing they may do pistons too.

That said, Ebay usually throws up some callipers.
Also SteveP has been breaking his Falco - maybe he's still got the calliper to sell - worth enquiring (I've had a few bits off of him - he's a pleasure to deal with).

Also, some time ago I remember there was an upgrade calliper that people fitted. Think it was slightly bigger and worked better - search here or the old forum and I think it will tell you.

Hi Scotty,

I think you might be in luck with eBay, as I've normally seen quite a lot of rear Brembo calipers for sale on there (they're not sexy, like front calipers, y'see...)

I'm dead impressed that you could put a hole in a brake piston, btw...

You could give www.wemoto.com a try. Ive never used them myself.

i thought the piston was a solid block, noone more surprised than myself.

got a caliper sorted out, pick up tomorrow.

got all the bearings of wemoto just last week quick service if needed by others

cheers for the info guys

Did the same on mine. Never leaked. Went through 2 mots too! I'd just leave it me like.

rear caliper here and 2 front brembos as well
