My 2002 1150 GS (Single Spark) has the BMW branded brake callipers with "Brembo" embossed on the rear. The pistons (well one at least) are totally goosed. Can someone either point me in the right direction for a re build kit (including pistons) OR
has anyone got a good left hand front one lying about they'd like to part with.. Obviously can't ride the bike till it's sorted :(
Many Thanks
 
Thanks everyone. I've got a repair kit on the way but one of the pistons appears to be well "jammed" in the caliper ... I tried forcing it out with the lever but even that didn't work so may end up with a refurb caliper I guess

They can appear jammed even if they're only slightly off 'square' in the bores. If you haven't already I would try pushing it all the way in first and then, while clamping the other pistons to stop them moving, try with the lever again.
