Bike is a 2002 non ABS ST1100. Toward end of season in 2013 rear brake became relatively ineffective. Pulled pads and cleaned these + the rotor. Pistons not stuck, but seemed to require a lot of effort to push in. Fluid level in the master cylinder was fine. This cleanup helped marginally, but really did not solve the problem.
Going to do my bi-annual coolant flush, brake & clutch fluid change and will be changing my rear wheel dampers for the first time so ordering parts soon. Plan to pull the rear caliper, clean and replace seals (SEAL SET, PISTON, #06431-MA3-405, $4.32 x 2). I assume I should get the 2 banjo bolt washers as well, or can these be reused?
Based on a review of the brake forum this should do the trick, but anything else I should be looking for as well?
