put some brake grease on those front sliding bolts and some thread lock (blue) on the threads. Also you do not need to either remove the brake pipe or split the calliper just to change the rear pads. there are two tiny R clips in each of the two pins that go through the pads, pull these and then the pins and the pads just come out the top. If you split the calliper for any reason, you really really need to change the sealing o-ring between the halves, as is it will have compressed over time, so use a new one and be safe. As an aside I have rebuilt the rear calliper on my GS and the correct dust seals are hard to get for the 1982 one.

Thank you sir!
Didn’t watch the whole video but the actual changing of brakes was very helpful as I hate being unsure what I need to do before maintenance.
Thanks for the vid... It helped me with my 1980 GS1000
Helpful and informative, Thank you. 👍
good work m8 keep it up, you helped me with my suzuki
what brake pads were those
The company is Caltric
Made in China
Brake fluid rinses off with water. Missing too much info to be of value, like a stuck caliper pistion and not a seized one.
