front brake seal question

[magicstu]

Bikes an 1150 2002 single spark with BMW marked calipers on -non ABS

I just got round to fitting some new pads (thanks Steptoe), and now the pistons are sticking, and yes i did clean them before pushing them back in.Thew plastic centres are a bit mashed, but I don't think that's an issue as they are not squeeling..

I am guessing that the seals are damaged, as there was no sign of issues on the pistons

2 questions....
1:
Is there anywhere i can get just a seal set for them, I can only see sets that have the pistons included- or is BMW the place to start throwing my pennies??

2:
Can you tell by the above info what type of brakes they are (evo etc.) as trying to get anywhere is a nightmare without knowing

Thanks

Look on the inside of the caliper body, you should be able to see the name of the manufacturer..

Try Wemoto for seals, they stock them for the Brembo calipers as well.

It's not always the seals but corrosion in the groove the seal sits in, so putting pressure on the piston.

going to rip it apart and have a look this weekend

may even push the boat out and replace the pistons

Thanks for the advice
