Just a thought, you might want to use some air to push your caliper piston out and clean your seals really well...
It's amazing the difference it can make on brake performance.

what I figured...
unfortunately that's only a temporary fix.
KXDINO:
The swingarm wears out were the carrier sits , I get that area welded than grind and file back so the carrier slides back and forth nicely than the banjo bolt wont wear in to the swingarm , as my caliper was showing signs of massive wear I bought a new 450 one and hose and fitted it , it a tad lighter and the banjo bolt is on top so it wont dig in the swingarm , this was on a 250 06 2t.

I've seen guys cut off rails/slides from other swingers and weld them on in replace of the bad one on the original swinger.
