Where can i find that info my friend? Thanks for the response!

Well, ok, but i thought a 250 and 300 would implement wider pistons for better heat absorption by dispersing it to a bigger piston.
So, did both pump and caliper change in 2010 as they are mated together?

True, if we're talking brake pistons! (Nissins!) but i meant that it is hard to locate your piston (or other performance parts) for a GG in a KTM world.
It was about the website of where to get the Titanium piston.
Which btw, i forgot to mention that titanium remains corrosion free and it's an overall superb upgrade for that dirty unsprung crucial element on our dirtbikes!

Thanks, i'll do that, but still... if someone knows for sure if the piston has changed in 2010, then i have something more against this seller that sold me a bike made of older model parts!
My 2013 came with a 2011 kickstarter among other problems i'd rather not mention and it was purchased to race an extreme race.
It had a faulty pump, a faulty estarter (fixed with your help here) missing spacers in the bearings, missing washers in the swingarm, a purple rear disk (not coated, but from extreme breaking) and i hold back from writing what else was used/old on it.
But thanks for solving half of my problem so far by telling me where to find the darn seal!

I am lucky (or smart) hanging on to a YZ 125 1998 and there are a lot of things that match both bikes as the GG seems more YZ based than a CR. (don't get confused by red :P)
I wish the same was true for the piston. Because your experience is right, this one smells like a Honda
added some pics of what i did to those calipers and getting stuck in silly stuff like that!
If this caliper turns out to be of a different bike, then
i will consider getting the right one, not for the extra size, but for a bike being as it is supposed to be from factory! Especially now that the good old GGs belong to the past!
If i sell it i can't add notes about finding this seal from this bike and that from that bike for the new owner!
I wish i hadn't cerakoated it first before discovering this problem coz if i replace it now, the cost skyrockets to new paints etc. and as the bike won't be getting sold i might keep it that way.
But there must be a place to discover what changed in the 2009+ upgrade!!! for crying out loud
