Hi folks,
I recently bought a spare set of calipers from the internet with a view to restoring them to give me a spare set should problems arise with the originals on the bike. The calipers are for a 2008 kawasaki Z750.
I stripped down the calipers then got to work cleaning the grime / rust from the caliper pistons.
pics 1, 3 & 4 show the before and after of the cleaning. I used grade 400 wet & dry paper with solvol autosol to remove the worst of the grime, then I buffed the pistons with the polishing wheel ......... the wheel is made of tough string, so no metal content.
I was quite pleased with the results but as you can see there remains some pitting at the top of the piston.
Bearing in mind that these puppies cost
