DRZ 400 S front brake caliper.

Hi guys,

I need to replace the front caliper on my 2003 DRZ s. Does anybody know if it's possible to use a caliper of a newer model? If so, how new can I go? At which stage did they change? Buying brand new is extremely expensive so if anyone in the UK has one for sale please do give me a shout.

Cheers.

Pete.

This calliper is used on about 964783 different bikes. At a guess...

It's just the hanger that differs. You don't need to buy one that came from a DRZ 400.

Thanks guys. It would seem anything up to a 2007 model will do the trick.
