OK So the front Titanium caliper pistons are on sale now for the RGV250 VJ21 and VJ22 models. But they won't fit the VJ23 type bike
I've also just ordered 50 Titanium rear caliper pistons to be made which should be on sale in about a month. Those rear pistons are huge! I noticed the thickness of the piston sidewalls was extremely thick too. Much thicker than say a CBR900 rear piston. So I've reduced the diameter of the side walls for this piston to reduce weight further.
Also in production are 50 CRF450/ CRF250 Titanium rear caliper pistons.
The days are slowly getting longer and warmer. Time to drag the bike out of the shed for some maintenance

RGV250 Titanium front caliper pistons in production!
Hi,
Just a quick post to say that two types of front caliper pistons will be on sale in the new year. They have the same dimensions as the original part but obviously they're half the weight and have a beautiful Titanium Nitride coating which is hard and slippery.
The key advantage of Titanium caliper pistons, if you don't know is to do with heat. Titanium is a poor conductor of heat and will keep the heat generated under braking away from your brake fluid.
Really useful for an RGV250 because they all get thrashed! 😂
I'm guessing a weight saving of about 100gm which is good as it's unsprung weight
Cheers
