R1100GS front calipers

[West coast gser]

Hmm ...it would seem my front calipers are sticking/dragging can I remove the pistons n seals without splitting the calipers in half to clean ? also can I just get the seals or do I have to get the whole kit ie pistons etc ? cheers

You don't have to split unless the middle seal has gone. Pump out the pistons until they are almost out using G-clamps or pieces of wood (to jam the easier moving ones) and then draw them out the last few mm, these work ;

The guys at Powerhouse are very knowledgeable and should be able to help you out with a kit ;

If you are still on original hoses, it could be caused by the internals breaking down, depositing particles of rubber into the fluid and blocking the bores.
