Not really, I was quite happy with the previous set of Nissin calipers, but I found out, that the right caliper was bent, when I put fresh pads in. Thumbs Down

This is the second time I put a set of Nissin calipers on the ZXR. Let's hope this is also the last time I put a new set of Nissin calipers on it. Nissin six pots would be nice though. Very Happy

I have six pots, love them and took me a few weeks to get them good after a rebuild.

The trick is to get the air out. Tried various ways pushing, drawing fluid out, but in the end I took the calliper off and a piece of timber between the pads and as I squeezed fluid out of the nipple I rotated the calliper around and that released the last air bubbles from it.

So no need to buy new callipers and the like, just take them off.
