So if you have read my new posts you know I picked up my old scooter after it sat in storage for 7-8 years. I just started to look at it to see what it might need and I see that the right brake lever has leaked all the fluid out and looks like it needs replacement.

I see there are no rebuild kits and new parts are hard to find.
Are there any other new units available that I can use in place of the OEM units? I would like something that is rebuild able if I can. Any help would be great. The used units out there look worse that what I have on the scooter.
I'm still evaluating the scooter to see if it is worth fixing.

So far the list includes
Battery replacment
Drop and drain tank
Replace fuel pump
Replace water pump cover seal and maybe impeller.
Oil and filter replacement
The above are the first required parts to see if it runs good.

Then fix bad brakes
Test tilt system
replace tires
Replace belt and rollers.
At this point it should be done unless I find something else wrong with it.

Just checked and they do not have them for the 2009. They have them for later models but at 93 euros each plus shipping to the United States. Also assuming the later models are not a direct fit.
Hoping for something that is close to a direct replacement and not quite that expensive.

If I fit Brembo's do I have to change the calipers also?
Do you know the correct part numbers for this or is there a post on here about it?

I will look for those other models and see what I can find.

**** EDIT **** Ok forget the brembo's, they are $360 to over $600.

300-CM076307 and 300-CM077403 are the parts for the front and rear on the 2009 MP3. About $275 for the pair.
