    it's a standard Brembo caliper. I think we concluded that it's the same as on the BMW G650GS and probably many italian bikes. You should be able to find repair kits using the part number on the caliper.

    KTM 390/690 and others has same caliper and the Kawasaki Rouser 200 and 220 have a copy of same caliper.

    Thanks for the post OP and everyone who confirmed! I wouldn't have thought to check this if not.

    Did the check on mine (approx. 11,000 km on the odometer) and found the front pin of the rear caliper to have no grease and the rear pin barely any left.

    While the tools were out, I checked the front caliper as well, and to my surprise, the front pin of the front caliper had no grease and rusting! I forgot to take a photo before I sanded it off but you can still make out the black spots where most of the rust was in the photo I took afterwards below. Glad I caught it before it seized.

    Mine is not moving at all. Don't want to damage anything, is the caliper just pried apart from the carrier? are the pins just sitting in the rubber boots?

    Thanks for the tip, removed mine and was shocked to see that it was also seized.
