I've bought seals etc from them before & they provide a good service but a word of warning don't let them refurbish your calipers for you, seen some right horrors that these monkeys have done on other forums

KR-1S ? View topic - dont use powerhouse

I just bought seals and other caliper parts. I was not aware that the services they offer might not be up to scratch. The guy I spoke to was knowledgeable and helpful, and the parts were sent promptly and reasonably priced.

Buying them from KTM dealers seems to be the way forward
But there was a scooter shop on eBay that'd did kits for this

you've not changed the brake lever or altered it's adjustment by any chance?
