Author Message   Rellim51 Posted on Monday, March 17, 2008 - 09:43 pm:        I was planning on going on a ride this weekend so I decided to pull my PMs and polish them up when I noticed one of the rubber caliper slide boots was busted. It's the boot that goes n the caliper bracket. I called the dealer to order all the boots and both caliper bolts but they say the only way to get them is to order a new caliper and bracket assembly. Is there another source for the boots and bolts?   Natexlh1000 Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 12:07 am:        Perhaps you could get them from nissin directly?   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 09:21 am:        If this is for the 2000 X1 in your profile, you need rebuild kit H0020.FA, list price $37.95. Assuming front brake. It includes six pistons, seals and O-rings. There is a rear caliper repair kit, 44149-98Y, $14.95. Not sure what's in it, but we show one in stock here that I'm going to put my hands on in a sec.   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 09:27 am:        OK, the rear caliper repair kit is a replacement piston, seal, and O ring. Re-reading your post after more coffee...it looks like you need mounting bolts and boots for a rear caliper? They are listed only as part of the caliper assembly. You can get the pin that holds the pads in the caliper seperately...but not the bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket.   Rellim51 Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 10:02 am:        Sorry, Yes I need the rear parts. Why would they not sell the boots separately?   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 10:18 am:        Might be a Nissin thing, as noted above...I'll do some digging and see what I come up with.   Rellim51 Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 10:35 am:        I went to Nissin's web site but it was no help. I couln't find anything about where to buy parts. Thanks for your help.   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 10:38 am:        Check with Al at American Sport Bike...he doesn't show them on his site, but may know where to get them.   Oldog Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 12:00 pm:        I think that you may be sol if you do find those I am interested as mine have been crap for a while.   Rellim51 Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 12:07 pm:        I think you're right, but I will let you know if I come up with something. I wish I someone at Nissin could tell me where they came from. I doubt they made the boots themselves.   Oz666 Posted on Tuesday, April 01, 2008 - 10:05 am:        The boot is available from any Kawasaki dealer brake boot Link gives the part # for `98 & later. Hope this helps... Oz "Nobody gets in to see the Wizard. Not nobody, not no how."
