An easier way of installing is to place the new pads on the caliper attachment bracket, either side if the disc, before installing the pin. Check that the floating ends of the pads are located in the spring tabs then lower the caliper over them and install the pin.
Never let the caliper dangle off of the fluid hose, this places undue strain on the hose. Always support the caliper with a wire hanger off the muffler or something.
Hey thankyou so much for this video it has to be the best v strom rear brake no frills video on you tube this is how you do it . Ive watched a few times and done my own pads this morning you make getting it all back together look so easy😄 i had a bit of bother but got there in the end… could you do one on changing the brake fluid .. 👍 Thanks Dude you saved me some pennies 🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️💪
I'm having a problem with my rear brake sliding bolt/pin the Allen head bolt one after I did all the work it started to come losses and it calliper wobbles even tho the bolts are tight.
I would disassemble everything and look over it again. Check your threads to make sure the bolts didn't cross thread which could make it feel tight but the bolts aren't all the way home.
You're so smart. Never thought I'd come across someone so intelligent. Oh rear brake master, teach me your infinite wisdom on this excruciatingly complex job. My brakes must have not been working the last 50k miles
Woah, that was easy. Thanks for making the process a little less scary for us first-timers!
Great video looks simple enough!

No problem! I haven't made videos in years after youtube screwed me over. Thought about getting back into it
One thing missing from this video- the factory exhaust!
Excellent Video. Save me lots of time.
Very good explanation many thanks 👍
And what about the springs.

Great video, much appreciate
Thank you for sharing.
+floss fly Glad I could help! I'll have more vstrom service videos up soon. If you need anything specific let me know. Thanks for watching.
thanks, I would not put grease anywhere near brakes though.
You should. Just don't get it on the pads or rotors
@@coffeeandcarbide98 with the heat at the brake pads that copper grease could end up anywhere
Nice
Thanks a bunch!
+Taran Sanun No problem! If you have any requests on any maintenance videos let me know and I'll try to get them on here asap. Thanks for watching
