This is a pretty in depth service of the rear Brake caliper. The process is very similar for the front brakes. I will make a video going into detail about that shortly. If you have any question feel free to comment below or message me on my Instagram. instagram.com/motorcyclemecha/
I've often found that people who are really good at what they do lack the ability to convey that knowledge to others. You, on the other hand, seem to be a born teacher. You may not realize it yet, but now you must become a big time UA-camr, because we need you.
Thank you for this, Mike! Please create a similar one for front brakes when you get a chance. Specifically interested in front brake's floating rotor's seized bobbins' cleanup and whether those seized up bobbins can cause pulsating breaking experience at low speeds(mine does while breaking under 15 mph, and no noticeable pulsing when breaking at higher speeds). Thank you!
I just filmed a front brake pad video last week. I'll be editing it soon. As for the seized up pins, that shouldn't have anything to do with pulsating. That us usually caused by warped or bent rotor. But can also be caused by brake pad build up on the rotors. Rotors need to be scuffed up with some coarse sand paper once in a while.
Hi Mike , the idea of doing "minor "repairs is appealing. I have this fear though that I won't remember what goes where when putting things back together again 😕
I suppose you could, I haven't. The outer seal is a dust seal, so it might not actually get to the fluid seal. Plus you don't want any of that lube to get on the braking surfaces...
how often should the caliper, rotor, and pads be changed? i just did my 10k service and the dealer says the rear brakes are worn and i don't have brakes so they wouldn't let me leave with my bike. i've been upsold almost 2k for everything and it sucks that i didn't know better. any input helps
Once you're done with using the brake clean spray, you can remove the latex gloves and have a lot better dexterity. Grease isn't going to hurt your finger's.

Wow, thank you! I’ll keep it up!
Nice! Just shared this video on the Community section of my channel and on Instagram.
Thank you!

@@motomecha530 Thank you for your insight, much appreciated!
So glad I found your channel! So informative!
Hope it helps you out! More videos to come!
Awesome job. Didn't even know all that went into those calipers. Very cool!!
Yeah there’s a ton of tiny intricacies on a motorcycle
I love how you explain the what, why, and how.
Thanks! I try 😊

Take lots of pictures with your phone, you can do it!
Great job, Mike! But shouldn't there be put any grease on the piston after cleaning it, just to maintain the function of the sealing?
I suppose you could, I haven't. The outer seal is a dust seal, so it might not actually get to the fluid seal. Plus you don't want any of that lube to get on the braking surfaces...
Honestly, something I've always wondered about. Thanks!
Now you know! 😁
Great channel Mike..methodical approach n very informative..thanks 👍 uk subscriber
Thanks! I’m making more!
Thanks for this great detailed video. 👍
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Awesome content man. It’d be great if you could do a video on how to replace fork oil for bikes with electronic adjustable suspension please. Thanks!
Ok, any specific bike?
@@motomecha530 Yes sir. 2014 BMW S1000 R
Great films! What grease you are using? Thanks ahead.
Just some wheel bearing grease. But there may be some better options out there.

Great video!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks! My pleasure!
Loving it !
Thanks!
Nice detailed video. I go through brake pads fast 😜
Thanks! We’ll just don’t use them as much, Brakes just slow you down…

Yeah but I hate dirty hands, it’s one of my pet peeves, if you can imagine that! 😳
