Flat-Rate Motorcycle Inspection Deco-mainte Brake Caliper OH Maintenance request.
The interior shows no major corrosion and is in excellent condition.
The rear is equally clean, which was reassuring.
Dragging and poor return issues
Over time and mileage, dust seals often twist. Corrosion in the seal groove can push the seal inward, causing stiffness. This is common.
Since it’s rubber, it hardens and causes operational problems.
Polish the interior thoroughly and clean it. Corrosion and dirt can be completely removed.
In the old days, we used to polish with a brush. Looking back, it was time-consuming with weak results, and the finish varied depending on whether you had the right equipment.
When even the hidden areas are clean, both the owner and we who did the work are happy.
When I quoted the front, a price reversal occurred—the aluminum piston was cheaper. Of course, seal inspection is necessary.
Measure the piston as well.
The rear is the same.
Apply metal rubber all the way into the groove and assemble.
Replace the small bolts too, and both appearance and performance have improved.
