Brembo caliper leak

[dss]

Noiticed today that the righthand caliper is leaking on my new speed triple and dripped brake fluid onto the wheel (marking the paintwork). I removed the caliper and confirmed that outer lower piston has started to leak. this is a bit disappointing as I have only done 140 miles. Phoned my dealer and they submitted a claim (which was authorised by Triumph) straight away, that included a new wheel.
Just wondered whether anybody else has heard of these calipers leaking, I know seals and things can fail but never had it happen to me before on any of my previous bikes.

WRONG!!!!! You're supposed to go to the 'new members area' for your first post so we can sus you out.

That being said, this may help, a few brake problems were talked about here: Really? Do you think I look that stupid?

Hopefully it's not a batch of bad plastic that was used on a series of resorvoirs for the bikes.

Triumphs are junk. Why did you buy one?

Can I have your old front wheel?

Sounds like a bad seal. Doubt its a major problem, just bad luck.

Well finally got the bike back today, the dealer have had it for a couple of weeks trying to sort the caliper leak. They initially tried to replace the caliper seals but that didn't work so they have had to fit a new caliper as it seems the casting was porous!

That's actually what I meant but for some reason I had master cylinder reservoir in my head in my first post. Hence the bad plastic instead of bad metal casting.

Again, I wonder how many more out there have that batch of cast?

Porous?

Brembo? Who'd 'a thunk it?
