1150 GSA from 2004 - My front brake pads are wearing unevenly. One pad almost done, and the other 3 look not far off new. Not normal. Sticky / seized / corroded pistons I think.
The bike has Tokico calipers from new. Pretty bad design of retaining pins. And the little screws holding the steel plates on are alll broken halfway down.
So rather than fiddling with a rebuild on 21 year old sticky piston callipers (x3 or more), can I switch to the Brembo callipers? Straight switch?
Also - the bike was with ABS until it broke halfway down a mountain so now no ABS as its bypassed. I think ABS will not affect the calliper type (although come websites spec callipers for ABS / non-ABS bikes oddly.)
So I can clean up the pipework at the same time with the Y splitter.
Any views?
