Yes, they are charging $500.00usd at most shops in 2023 to grease fork bearings and to change fork oil $$$$,,,, Abba stand is also $500.00usd👍. Most sport bikes don't have a lower chasis to lift from.😮

Hello mate. Daft question but where have the hidden the reservoirs for the rear breaks.

And we don’t bleed the brakes out because?

Thanks this helped alot

Thank u. Ur about the closest video I could find for the ninja 650. Many thanks from across the pond my friend. 😜

I want one

Isn't there a retaining spring for the pads that no one seems to mention 🤔🤦

Great job ! You significantly saved my money !

How did the second version go? Would be interested in this myself!

Copper grease on copper plated pads = waste of grease, that's the whole point of copper backing plates, so they don't rust or corrode to the mating points, another point, no need where it's not touching even with steel backed plates. High temp all purpose grease on retaining and slide pins, and a good clean first.

I can't get my calliper off the disc any advice? Yours removes very easy

Useful video but you missed an important step that would be necessary if you were actually changing the pads for real: compressing the pistons. For anyone who doesn't know, if your pistons have a cross on them they may need to be rotated back in which requires a special tool, otherwise you'll need to get a piston compressor tool or some massive hand muscles.

does any one else think the rear brake on the 650 versys , are pretty poor as stock. Mines a 2007. Bled it twice but still not that good compared to my 250 ninja.

Thanks for the help!

Thank you for not taking about half an hour to show us all how knowledgeable you are and just showing us what to do.

Спасибо за обзор!

Thanks from Sweden

Very cool!

Did you ever make and sell these please ?

is the same for abs?

Great I'll try build this from the my broken car and other stuff

You didn’t remove the whole thing. I needed to see the the part you didn’t remove on the breaks.

Oh no 😱 12 inches of snow..... Jesus wept deal with it that's nothing compared to Canada or Norway etc etc

looks great well done

Great work 👍🏼

Big thanks from a New Zealand expat, nice concise video

nice DIY thanks dude

my garage quoted me £90 to change the front pads ...you sir are a genius :)

My 2001 ER-5 has very similar brake too. Tokico, and looks exactly like this, probably because it's the same.

Just did my first brake pad change and it was nice and simple thanks to this video. Good tip from the comments to use a G clamp to put the pistons back in the caliper. I found putting on the first pad and then using the G clamp on the pad so both pistons go back together slowly. Obviously make sure your G clamp has a rubberised protection pad so as not to damage the brake pad. Also I didnt open the brake fluid reservoir, there should be enough space in there to take the fluid back from the calipers. Assuming you havent filled it up to max when the pads were not at their biggest depth. Bike: ER6-F 2016.

merci ça ma fait économisé de l'argent

Nice Video, the best i saw about this changing pads... i couldnt get the name or what is that cream that u use to keep the piston hydrated?

Saved me a lot of time, Thanks.

I had a clip fall out of the calliper the size of my pinky nail. Could it be the pad separator or anti rattle? Problem is I don't know where and how it goes back in

if you use to much copper the pin will cease and you have to cut it like i did

thanx bud this was wrilly helpfull for me

I am going to paint my caliper as it has some salt pitting. This video is a sure help. Thanks.

That is my dog

thanks man

Thanks it works for me

Hi, nice vid, if i do this, were my current pads are very thin, would i need to open the fluid to allow the piston back so i have enough room. OR should there be enough room from when these pads where new.. HA!

I just did mine for first time. Didn't seem to need to compress piston...pushed it in a bit w hand. But new pads installed, slipped right back over disk. Brakes seem to work fine...did I miss something I should be worried about?

Thanks for your help mate, Best regards from Serbia.

This is helping quite a bit. Do I put "Copper Eze" on the cylinder behind the pad as well? Did you replace your springs? How did you get the springs out/in without breaking them? Thanks!

What i also do is to open the brake fluid resovour and then i use a g-cramp to push the pot back slowly , watching the fluid all the time so not to mess..

Hi Tony, just check them from time to time and St about 1-2mm change them.

How many miles before you should change your pads? Thanks

Thanks for putting on youtube excellent
