I haven't heard anything. The Sprint ST's don't even have the radial Nissan calipers as far as I know. I'm not sure our brake issue translates to whatever issue they're having.

elpirtdeeps is right the ST does not have radials ... but the 675 does share the same components as the speed triple.

Thanks, Bluesjeans.

Obviously the Sprint caliper uses the same pistons even though it's not the radial type.

This guys seems convinced and I'm pretty convinced too. The brake issue is 99% about sticking caliper pistons. Fiddling with mastercylinders, hoses, pads, rotors, etc won't fix the problem.

So if Triumph won't come to the party, new D675 pistons or GSXR calipers, depending on costs, seem like the way to go
