I’ll probably have a lot of questions since the last time I owned a 250R you could still buy parts at a Honda shop. I need to rebuild my calipers or replace them but new aren’t available anymore I’m going to use what I have. Is there a specific brand that’s better than others? I found an All Balls Racing kit and they’ve been around forever so I’d assume they’re decent. It looks like Hondapartshouse.com has most of the OEM seals but not all of the parts that would come in a kit. I also want to replace the front master since it’s not original and I’ve read I can fit another model master and it’ll work but don’t know which one. eBay also sells cheapo masters but I can’t believe they’re very good and brakes isn’t something to cheap out on especially on an R.

All balls is fine for a rebuild kit .
For the front master you could go with a newer model like a trx250x .

Thanks. I figured they’d have decent stuff and I didn’t know a 250x would fit so I’ll give that a shot.
