I believe the calipers are the same as fitted to a KTM 640A (and possibly other bikes in the KTM range, as they all use Brembo brakes).

I think the problem you'll/have found is that UK dealers and/or Brembo are reluctant to offer 'service kits' for their calipers as they are (quite rightly) a fundamental safety item regarding the bike, and they don't want ham-fisted amateurs messing around with them and potentially killing themselves if their brakes subsequently fail? (I'm a member of a Ducati forum, and they seem to get the same situation regarding Brembo servicing...)

It's possible that a 'brake specialist' might be able to get the required parts, but as you have found out, with a bike that is at the most just a year old, it really is a warranty issue anyway I would have thought?
