Should I replace calliper piston seals?
Hello everybody
I have a 2002 ST1300, with 25,000 miles on the clock. The bike is generally in great condition with no known issues.
I'm planning it's annual strip down and service, and have considered replacing the calliper seals, for no other reason than they're about 15 years old. The brakes work as they should (after I replaced the secondary master cylinder seals when I got the bike in 2014). Rubber stuff doesn't last forever, so do you think it a wise move to refresh and rebuild the callipers before any problems occur?
I'm also thinking about doing the front and rear master cylinder seals, and the clutch master and slave seals too.
So what are your recommendations? Am I being over-cautious?
