    front brake very hot, partly siezed piston in caliper or something else?

    if anyone is interested I swapped the caliper with one from a scrapper and it seems ok now. just writing this for info if anyone searches the board for same issue... only needed about 1/3 of a 500ml bottle of DOT4 to bleed it through. (i bout 1l and this may save someone buying too much!) -...

    front brake very hot, partly siezed piston in caliper or something else?

    scott, thanks for your reply - do you know if all the ones on a K11 are the same, does engine size or year matter etc? some of the fleebay descriptions are a bit vague and the pics not great the p/n looks like 6732170612 (2's may be 7's and vice versa, somewhat corroded!)
