08 XT rear caliper
one piston moves when lever is pulled when pad meets the disc the other caliper will begin to move , is this right or should the calipers move independentley?

mine were a little sticky when i first got them. I had to 'work' the sticky one to free them up and then they were ok.
to do this take the pads out and then use a plastic tyre lever or similar to hold the good one in and pull the lever. this forces the other out. Then use a cotton bud with some mineral fluid on and clean around the piston to free it. Then push the piston back in and do it again. Do this a load of times and they should work (almost) evenly!

Is that not a form of modulation?
