Title: Caliper Joining O Ring
Post by: barbz on Sunday, 21 October 2018, 08:50 PM

Hi all,

The O ring on the front left caliper gave up a couple of weeks ago and a friend was able to supply me with a suitable replacement - bled brakes and all good.

The other side is now the weak point and is showing signs of leakage in the same place so its another split and re-bleed.

Problem is we are out of o-rings/washers; would anyone know the correct size to use?

Thankyou

I just used a big fat round one that fitted, it's working fine after a few years.

Having no luck with this.

O rings are either too wide or narrow and causing leaks.

Anyone know the size of the stock units, part number or has a pair I can buy?

Thankyou

It only seems to come as part of a complete seal kit. No3 on this link https://www.robinsonsfoundry.co.uk/shop/online-store/suzuki-parts-finder/gsx/gsx1400/k2-k3-k4-k5-k6-k7-2002-2007.htm?vehicle_id=29#!gsx1400frontcaliper

Could you take the other side apart & match it?
