This guide will show you how to remove the old front brake pads and then install new ones.
Brake pads should be changed at the owner's discretion. Most brake pads will make a squeaking or scraping noise when they are approaching the end of their life.
必要な工具と部品
-
-
For the best access to the brake pads, we recommend securing the motorcycle in an upright position.
-
If you do not have a motorcycle lift, you will still be able change the brake pads, but it is still a good idea to secure the front wheel in place.
-
-
-
Using a 1/4" hex head or allen wrench, unscrew the two bolts holding the front brake assembly to the fork.
-
Unscrew and remove the bottom bolt, but do not completely remove the top bolt yet.
-
-
-
-
Using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, remove the two screws securing the cover on the master brake-fluid reservoir.
-
Carefully remove the cover of the master reservoir, making sure that you do not spill any of the brake fluid.
-
-
-
Position the screw of a large C clamp so that the head of the screw is pressing against the inside of the brake piston.
-
It is possible to use your hands rather than a C clamp, but it is much more difficult.
-
Slowly tighten the C clamp, forcing the brake piston back into the brake cylinder until it is completely depressed.
-
-
-
Inspect the new brake pads for chips or other signs of wear.
-
Apply a moderate amount of anti-squeal compound to the back of each new brake pad.
-
-
-
Using your fingers, pull the alignment peg out of its hole in the stationary caliper.
-
Apply a thin layer of grease to the alignment peg.
-
Re-install the alignment peg, but do not push it all the way in. Only push it in about half-way.
-
-
-
The spring should be on the same side as the alignment peg.
-
Place one of the brake pads into the floating caliper, with the anti-squeal side facing away from the spring and mount peg.
-
Before taking the motorcycle up to full speed on the open road, test that the brakes work by starting and stopping at low speeds in an empty street or parking lot.

Nice job. Was looking for a picture of that darn anti vibration clip. Thanks

The spring clip is installed wrong. The brake pad will rattle. Push the brake pad in from the rotor side with the clip pushing down hard on the pad holding it in the housing. The clip is to stop the pad from rattling in the housing, not to hold it against the piston.
