    GS425 front brake caliper rebuild kit?

    Real simple question ... Where do I find them?? There are many options online for master cylinder rebuild kits, but I've found nothing on kits to rebuild my front single disk caliper. I've GOT to be missing something. Any recommendations?

    The best source for caliper and MC rebuild kits is Suzuki. The aftermarket kits are incomplete and are shameful, dangerous, expensive junk. The kits from Suzuki will contain new pistons as well as new seals.

    Visit your local Suzuki dealer and wake up the parts monkey, or use your favorite source on Suzuki parts online. There are several listed on Basscliff's page.

      Thanks. I ordered the parts from my local dealer, although they said the pistons were no longer available. I hope mine looks OK ...

        What year and model (E or L) is your 425? That might make a difference.

        The diagram I looked at (1979 E) listed the pistons as available.
