Looks like my right front caliper is leaking, are these rebuilable? Also, never did brakes on a a bike, done a ton of them on cars, are they as easy as pulling off the bolts compressing the rotor and putting the new pads on?

you mean compressing the pistons for the calipers?

if so yea... as far as the leaking, i'm not sure on that one....
 
Where is it leaking? Banjo bolt? Bleeder? Pistons?
 
Might be time for a new seal kit from Yamaha.

BTW, bike brakes are easy. If you're not rebuilding you can change pads with calipers still mounted. Just use small c-clamp to push pistons back in. Keep and eye on master resevoir so doesn't over-fill.
