Hi

Depends how it is treated. Older Yamaha ones lived a very short time in winter. Older Brembo stuff lasts for ever.

All the best

chances are all you need to do is remove the caliper and pads clean everything up and reassemble. once off you can try squeezing back the caliper a little, if it moves then it should be o.k.

Calipers last forever, it's the bits inside them that wear out, specially if you're remiss in your maintenance Wink
