How to Change Brembo Brake Pads Ducati Multistrada V4S Edition

This is how I change my Brembo Monoblock brake calipers on my Ducati Multistrada V4S. I would suggest going to the dealer rather than do it yourself brake jobs. This is how I do the brake job. I am not saying this is the best way to change brake pads on a motorcycle, but it is the way that has been working for me.

What do you do different to change your motorcycle brake pads?

[@mauriziozanni4161]

Rembo, you went OEM for the pads?? Do you know that Brembo has much better alternatives for a fraction of what you paid? Also, you NEED to keep the brake engaged while tightening the caliper bolts.

[@RemboUSMC]

@@mauriziozanni4161 I did not know there was an alternative to Brembo of the same quality.

[@mauriziozanni4161]

@@RemboUSMC Just to give you an idea of the very same pads you bought: www.carpimoto.it/en-US/Bike_Ducati_Multistrada-V4S/Brand_Brembo/35322_07BB3792-Brake-Pads-Brembo-07BB3792-Sintered-Sport.htm for alternatives: www.carpimoto.it/en-US/Bike_Ducati_Multistrada-V4S/Brand_Brembo/Search.aspx

[@RemboUSMC]

@@mauriziozanni4161 That is a significant savings. Is the quality as good?

[@mauriziozanni4161]

@@RemboUSMC The first link I sent is the OEM compound, the same one you just installed. Is Brembo aftermarket good? I would say it's way, way better than OEM, where a certain price point has definitely a relevance. Brake compounds like SR are the latest ones coming out of the Brembo labs. The Z04 is the BEST compound money can buy (commercially), and a complete set for two disks costs 60% of what you paid for yours, and they don't even remotely compare.

I've done this before, my friend and mechanic taught me. These are the exact steps he taught me, thanks for the video. One has to be aware that a normal shop does not have the time to clean so perfectly, if they clean at all. So this is really something you can do on a Sunday afternoon.

[@RemboUSMC]

Great to hear! I appreciate you posting that comment

[@larsholst6216]

Thanks a lot. Slightly different on Multistrada 950s...... But Very helpfull.

[@danny100d]

Thank you for this. I’m changing my pads for the first time and your post was helpful.

[@RemboUSMC]

Great to hear!

[@garygow3308]

Hey Rembo, nice work on those brake pads buddy! Always a good feeling ( and cheaper) to have a go and do those jobs yourself! Look forward to more videos!

[@my2wheels]

Great job Rembo!

[@RemboUSMC]

Thanks

[@JJAhern]

Thanks for doing another how-to video. They've been super helpful! I've got a set of Streetfighter V4 Brembo pads ordered to swap my stock Multi ones out with. Same size and shape, but more aggressive compound for more bite. Edit: Turns out its the Panigale V4 pads that are the more aggressive compound. The Multi and SF use the exact same part number. Just wanted to correct the record.

[@RemboUSMC]

Glad you like them!

[@robertduga8068]

Hi Rembo A very nice job with the Brembo brakes. I'm going to test drive a V4S this spring. Spring comes late up here in Maine, but sometimes April is gorgeous. Your descriptions of various projects, namely the oil change video and the chain tightening are very helpful. Keep up the great work!

[@RemboUSMC]

I appreciate your feedback. Thank you and safe riding.

[@mexploretravel7213]

Thanks for the video. Nicely done. I'm checking the EBC website for part numbers on my Enduro and my GS R1200.

[@RemboUSMC]

Glad to help

[@bigal5895]

Hi Rembo, Great video..I managed to get the torque settings off the dealer workshop when I purchased my Multi V4S. You are right the caliper bolts are 45Nm or 33ft-lbs so good job!

[@RemboUSMC]

Thank you for confirming this. I appreciate it.

[@SuperMookieblaylock]

thanks

Nice job👍🏽

[@RemboUSMC]

Thanks 👍

[@lpete531]

@@RemboUSMC question; does Ducati have a cam bus electrical system? I'm thinking about adding a pair of Denali lights , your expertise is needed.

[@thor8640]

@@lpete531 according to my dealer you are on your own. Denali's Dial Dim looks like an awesome product to control D2 through to D7's. I got Duc's OE lights mounted that needed to be programmed by the dealer.

[@paolomignone2099]

Good, very good video and explanation. One only observation, Brembo original has many brake pads different from original, maybe better than original. Next time buy some of these. Complimenti, ti seguo con molto piacere, continua con le esercitazioni in italiano.

[@RemboUSMC]

Grazie, sei molto gentile.

[@royevans4581]

Had to check to see if Brembo pads for Ducatis were really that expensive. YEP! I can get a set for my Hayabusa for just over £100

[@davesandberg]

Great video! Thank you for taking the time and creating a thorough tutorial on the brake pads. I'm doing my Pikes Peak today and this is very helpful. Well done! Cheers Dave

[@RemboUSMC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@denisr7887]

and here I thought that Grease B as per Ducati service manual , which is moby based grease is what you must put on those threads and all round .

[@signore-solomonare1818]

I am planning to replace my front brake pads for my Strada 939, but personally I don’t think I would unmount the calipers completely just to replace as well as cleaning the calipers because of over tightening the bolt. As I have slimmer fingers I could do this easily. Thanks for sharing your experience, but I would rather go for EBC complete brake kits instead of Brembo brand to save some money on fuel for my trip 😊, just economically speaking

[@RemboUSMC]

The price of Brembo brake pads are crazy and there are several options that I believe are just as good if not better.

[@nickb638]

The intro made me lol

[@RemboUSMC]

Thanks. I was going for comedy… it worked!

[@TallyHoTech]

Great Stiff Rambo. Are you Bosch’s Stuntman?

[@joeybernier5864]

Thanks for the very informative video! I've done some work in my bikes but haven't had to change pads yet. One thing I noticed is you didn't bleed the brakes after you installed the pads. I bled mine last year and put in new DOT 5.1 fluid. It was a bit of a pain in the arse to be honest. Does this HAVE to be done after changing pads or personal preference?

[@RemboUSMC]

Preference

[@andrewberg2361]

I don't have factual data on the EBC HH but from running them now for many years on high performance/speed bike the seat of the pants data tells me they are bloody good and work first bite and every one after that . Did you go with the stock replacement pad for the V4 or go up a spec ?

[@RemboUSMC]

I bought stock Brembo from Ducati. $$$$$$$$$

[@jm113]

Hi Rembo I'm a great fan, do you have any video on how to remove and reinstall the front tire on Multistrada V4s?

[@RemboUSMC]

Not yet but coming soon. I forgot to video it

[@JVSKRR-is7qr]

Can you retract the piston all the way back to put the brake pads on these stylema calipers?

[@RemboUSMC]

Yes you can

[@JVSKRR-is7qr]

Because mine do not retract all the way back. That’s good to know

[@CurvedSlightly]

There's a better way to centre the pads/callipers, that will give you more power and less lever travel, but too difficult to explain here, holding the brake on while you tighten the bolts doesn't really work that well. Also, according to the MTS V4 Torque Spec sheet, the calliper bolts should be pre-tightened, to 2Nm

[@BwannaKubwa]

I see the zip tie on your fork. Did you get your suspension tuned?

[@RemboUSMC]

No, I just keep track myself

[@paraguitarmedic]

Hey Rembo, where are you sourcing the pads from? I don't see anything that looks legitimate on a google search.

[@RemboUSMC]

I actually purchased these directly from the dealer. I haven’t decided where I’m going to get the next set that I need.

[@candlstudios]

Damn. $170 a pair? My Harley is $55 a set and I thought that was expensive.

[@Ken-J-L]

The clips are single use and should be replaced when you replace the pads.

[@RemboUSMC]

Unfortunately, unfortunately, they don’t come with the kits

[@petesmail1]

Just had my brembos (calipers) stolen from a covered parking lot. Gutted.

[@RemboUSMC]

You have got to be kidding me? That is absolutely horrible.

[@thor8640]

For future reference, EBC makes pads as I just found out: ebcbrakesdirect.com/motorcycle/ducati/1158-multistada-v4/2021/36532 The discussion regarding brakes came up on a V4 FB group and a lad posted the EBC part numbers.

[@RemboUSMC]

I know they may be less expensive but I’m still not convinced that they are at the same level as Brembo. Need to see data and comparison specs.
