Yup got it out had a look and it appears to have never been lubed. The pistons are very sticky also. Thanks for the diagram.

don't have to..or need to take the fender off. 2 screws hold the cover on. inside the cover, 2 chrome bolts, 12mm heads, hold the caliper bracket to the lower fork leg. The caliper is a dual piston, single action slider. That said, the bracket MUST slide smoothly and EASILY so the caliper can self align. Most people don't know, or don't care about cleaning and lubing the slider pins...Happens on cars all the time...

Any ideas why my front caliper might be sticking? Gonna go back down to the garage and pull the fender off and have a look see. Any input would be appreciated.
