capt five Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi all anyone had a brake fluid leak, from the front brake caliper. I noticed some fluid on rim, then on closer inspection, you can see it run from the lower mounting, with front brake held on. it is a 06 bike five months old, 0 miles. cheers in advance, bry.

tesamon Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 The same thing happend to a friend's new new Gasgas. The center "O" ring not in the grove. Split the caliper reinstalled "O" ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4it Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yes as said check the 'o' ring between the two caliper halves it has more than likely been pinched if it has been appart if not it maybe the piston seals you will have to have a closer look you will soon see!

coxy Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 give your dealer a ring they should have a 6 month warranty on the bike so you should be able to get it fixed for free if not ring sandifords and see what the have to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt five Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hi all, had the caliper apart today, it was the seal for a piston, thanks for the info, bry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
