Hi Andy another hands on informative educational video it's good to watch you actually take the calliper apart and rebuild it keep up the excellent videos 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎😆😆😆😆
There are a lot of pins, springs, etc to reduce brake squeal. I always got my bike back and never saw any copper slip on the back of my brake pads when they fitted new ones. They never squealed at all. If anything, the only brakes that squeal were my rear drums. How about experimenting by trying none and of course clean and lubricate any sliding pins. I'm always listening to updates and improvements and willing to pass them on if I see them as very good advice.
can you please do more videos about gsxr 750 you are awesome and you go into detail and show every step THANK YOU for your great work and awesome videos for gsxr 750 Also if you can put the items used in description that would be great
Hi Andy, I just recognized that you mixed up the inner and the outer shim on the brake. Check the pictures of the original Suzuki parts:59371-20C00: Rear brake caliper inner shim59381-20C00: Rear brake caliper outer shim
Hey Andy, I have a question I hope you can help answer. I have a 2002 GSXR 750, replaced the rear brake pads but feel spongy on the rear brake pedal. Feels like it bottoms out when I apply rear brake. Springs right back up after release but don't recall the pedal going so far down before. Any advice? By the way, Thank you for all the great videos. Helped me do alot of work on my bike.
Great vids Andy - Toolgirls make it more interesting too... There's a massive UA-cam debate between Delboys Garage and The Workshop channels about copper grease on back of pads. It appears that the 'no copper grease' option is winning as it's NOT required on modern bike pads (as recommended by EBC, Brembo etc...) What do you honestly think Sir?
It's a tough call. However, I believe it is required on 70's to to 90's cars for sure. We had a Nissan dealership and every Mechanic would do as I now do. It may be different on newer cars but the vehicle Manufacturers should be able to clarify if it's needed or not. I also think the working environment has some influence on if it should be used so the same car may require copper paste in only some areas of the World - that just adds to the confusion! Thanks for involving me in the debate. Cheers Andy
Thank you, ive got 2003 and having problems, your video helped a ton

Cheers
Great instruction,took the guesswork out of the rear pad replacement,have a manual and it tell you nothing😄

Damn.....well spotted. What would I do without you guys watching my back! I'll swap them around once the bike returns from Certification. Cheers Andy
Great video, very detailed. Thanks
great jop
The springs should be installed against the inside face of the pad. (See manual)
Don’t use a wrench to push the Cali piston back in, I use my thumbs work just smooth no damage
Good job btw!
Thanks,, thanks,, thanks,,, got me out of trouble,,
What kind/brand paste do you use for those brake pads?

Those pins just love seizing in the body of the caliper on these, should also have a plastic cover on the caliper, not one of Suzukis finest moments!
I noticed the shims were asymmetric. Do the shims go on the leading or trailing side?
