[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1462756, member: 19880"] I have never had to replace seals in calipers or master cylinders although Yamaha says every two years! From what I could see on-line, it appears that these seals have a square cross-section and I don't know if there is a correct orientation or not. I would pay attention to removal of the old ones if there appears to be any difference from one side to the other. Photo found on internet searching on that part number... Most available photos have too much contrast to see detail. [ATTACH type="full" width="525px"]6132[/ATTACH] Have a good look at the piston sides for corrosion or scratches. (I have seen corrosion on these - removeable with [U]very[/U] fine carbide paper or possibly 000 steel wool if corrosion is only superficial.) Obviously done out of the caliper followed by rigorous cleaning. I assume you had a good look at the caliper seal kits? There are THREE different part numbers. Two kits (4 seals each) for the right caliper and one (8 seals) for the left. (Pistons are different sizes on the right). [ATTACH type="full"]6133[/ATTACH] Fiche is for a 2011 but should be the same for yours (any Gen II+). [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/yamaha/motorcycle/2011/fjr1300a-fjr13aas/front-brake-caliper[/URL] Disregard if you have already looked at all of this... [/QUOTE]
