[QUOTE="kdclaiborne, post: 1463914, member: 100011"] As previously posted, I acquired a clean 2013 FJR A back in early January. Generally well maintained: oil/filter/drive changed, coolant/brake/clutch fluids recently flushed, recent fork seals and oil. I just completed the dreaded PITA rear suspension relay arm inspection and lube (+ swing arm lube while off). Brake pads look good and rear caliper piston moves easily, but I noticed the inside of the piston starting to rust a bit (if I rebuilt calipers, I'd likely soak piston inside with Evapo-Rust which I've used before along with phosphoric acid). I really like the idea of going through everything and getting caught up on all scheduled/recommended maintenance. What do the experts here think about the need for brake caliper rebuild on a 11 year old FJR with 24k miles? All Balls? I don't find much else. I dread the procedure I've read about doing the proper procedure for ABS activate/bleed, but I'm confident I can do it. [/QUOTE]
