Thank you Celtic comrade for your quick and kind reply. 🙂 The piston and caliper look flushed and level. So far the brakes are doing fine. I just hope everything turns out well. In fact after the cleaning session, the brakes are now more effective.

Anyway, I also noticed that all the 4 pistons for each brake do not come out with similar distance. Some come out more, some less. Really don’t know whether this was done intentionally by Yamaha.

When pushing the bike around, at the extreme turning end of the handle bar, there is a tendency for the brakes to give out a slight squeaking noise. This noise was evident before and after the cleaning session. I was wondering whether this was caused by the piston not having retracted sufficiently into the housing. Anyway I’ll monitor closely the brakes and let you guys know if there is any further problem. Meanwhile, get dirty guys, ride more and be happier.
