Hi folks,

I need to get the Yamaha four-piston calipers (and the big single piston one at the rear) refurbished. Whilst I have the skills and the tools to do it I do not have the time. Any companies people would recommend? I'm in London if that's of any help.

I assume you want them stripping and painting/powder coating? Not just seals and a clean...

FWR or Chaz should be able to do it.

You could try Powerhouse on Ebay:

I've never used their refurb service as I do them myself, but they're who I use for most of my seals/pistons etc and always good quality and service.

I've uses both before for stuff and I'd be surprised, good at what they do but perhaps a bit specialised

Ah, your previous post says complete painting - different kettle of fish. But if its just a seals rebuild, anyone can do that. Also, FWR should at least know where to send them.

Powerhouse do a very well regarded mail order service - send off your shagged calipers for refurb.

I don't know if they do bikes but in the car world BIGG RED are the best.

I’ve used Powerhouse for a couple of sets of calliper overhauls and been very happy with the results (SV1000 and ZZR1100), but I’ve heard others on this forum haven’t had such positive experiences.

+1 for Powerhouse, from personal experience.
