Does anyone have an outlet for caliper rebuild kits for '04 Rockster / Tokico calipers.
The size of the seals would be helpful also.
I only need the rubber seals and not the pistons.

Thanks,
Rich

you may be able to buy all the seals individually from a Kawasaki dealership. I've only ever seen them available as a (semi)* complete kit from BMW.




* - the BMW kit doesn't include the 2 seals that sit between the calliper bodies. If you split the callipers, you would be best off replacing these seals - again - available via Kawasaki dealers.

OK, thanks.

It appears that the front TOKICO calipers are: Small Piston 32mm
Large Piston 36mm


Now...Try and find 'em.

The seal that goes between the caliper halves can be found at Kawasaki and Honda dealers.
Kawasaki (part no. 43049- 1004) or Honda (part no. 45103-MEL-003)

The small O - Ring (Joint Seal) between the caliper halves part numbers are:
Kawasaki 43049-1004
Honda 45103-MEL-003

Kawasaki 43049-1004 RING, SEAL, 6.5 X 11.5 X 2.2 (SMALL SEAL BETWEEN THE CALIPER Sides)

Thru research, I found that the Honda pieces are about 2/3 the price of the Kawi seals.
I ordered them from Partszilla for 96 cents each.

Now, does anyone know where the 32mm dust seals and 36mm pressure seals can be obtained from OTHER than BMW?
BMW wants $98 for the seal kit with piston. I don't need the pistons.

As I said - if you can chase down the a Kawasaki with the same piston diameters then Kawasaki sell all the bits individually.

I've searched 5 Kawi dealers for the 32/36mm seals for Tokico calipers - They have been Unable to locate them in the system via computer or phone.
Anyone that can shed any further light on this, please do.

I received Honda part #45103-MEL-003 Today.
RING, SEAL Joint - 6.5 X 11.5 X 2.2 (SEAL BETWEEN Tokico CALIPER HALVES)

I can confirm that these are the correct O Ring seals between the caliper halves.
They were 96 cents each from Partzilla.com
