I usually brake (6-pods) with just one finger - the middle one as that, from use, is the strongest :whistling:

14, hobby and therapy, that's what it really is to me too. And of course commuting bike, 5000 km during this season.
And thank you for the exact answer! Now I understand the reason.
I didn't know that those piston areas went that way. Can you remember those 4 pot piston diameters?

Fancy helping me paint my calipers gold please? Will pay the cost no problem

In all honesty, the best place to get your calipers overhauled and painted is by Powerhouse, who do a great job and have been used by a good number of 14 owners over the years - https://powerhouse.uk/motorcycle-brake-caliper-rebuild-service/

(PS - I see this is your first post - it would be appreciated if you could take time to introduce and tell us a bit about yourself/your 14 in the intro section  - to be found here https://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?board=20.0  Thanks
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:
