How to Change Motorcycle Brake Pads - ZX6R

[@666goodevil]

Its ZX6R P7F. I've found this on some forums "Usually its the disk pad backing plate thats missing or dry. There should be a tin cover over the back of the pad that you remove and transfer to the new pads." You didn't do that with old-new pads in video. After transferring covers and reapplying grease noise disappeared :). Anyway great tutorial - thanks mate! Just wanted to mention the backing covers for some over first-timers like myself.

Great video! I still remember the 1st time I had to change the front pads on my old 06' 636, and had no clue what I was doing. Didn't help that one of the pistons in the Stock Tokico calipers had froze.

Great how to video! Easy enough for most people to tackle with only a few tools! Thanks!

DarkReign Thanks, glad I could help.

Use brake caliper grease. They sell it at any automotive storw.

[@BULLETPROOFCHEFS]

Great video! Thanks for posting. Using this and the manual really helped. Have you ever recorded the rear brake job?

[@666goodevil]

Didn't you forget to put the pad backing plate on new pads? I've just change pads and get terrible squeaking sounds at pushing speed. I'm going to add backing plates and try again...

enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing mate

[@2012WrxSti]

thank you very much, very helfull and informative video

[@Underwaterer]

So, on a motorcycle you don't need to replace the rotors. I know that they can't be machine turned because they are too thin. Just spray with brake cleaner and that's it? (unless they are warped of course.)

[@dohser805]

Great video, it helped a lot!

[@LMarquez1618]

how easy is to change the back ones? do you have a video of that? thanks in advance

[@jendo7944]

I don't know if you could help me on this one. I have a question for you. My rear brake pedal is very louse. Lately when I pushed on the brake pedal I feel as if there's no break on my rear so Please if you know what's going on help me out. the problem is from the rear brake pedal I dont know why its so louse.

[@derekbryant6855]

thank you for this video

[@bingofish1204]

Can you push the Pistons in without grease?

[@Spiffy35]

Yes

[@Spiffy35]

If you do use grease. Use hi temp wheel bearing grease. It wont boil then

[@colombianodny]

question the brake cleaner, i heard is corrosive. My question is if I use brake cleaner can I damage my rubber rings on the pistons?

[@joel1228]

nice vid

[@goblin_2310]

[@brandonblack2095]

what's the torque on those caliper bolts?

[@TheOfficialGrok]

+Brandon Black www.kawasaki.com/ServiceManuals/Browse get a motorcycle operator manual for your bike, the site gives you a pdf or adobe acrobat document. call it a mom for short.

[@darkreign8081]

some kind souls have shared them on the kawi forums, but a fresh Heynes manual is best

[@ryanleewalton555]

so thats the allen key i knew it only one i couldnt find

[@darkreign8081]

It's always the one you can't find... gdmmit! :D

Overkill

[@tonycota3820]

This dude used grease on brake pistons and red lock tight on the caliper.

[@lesgobrandon1374]

It was definitely blue there copernicus

[@lucidgravitationalpull2234]

Too much grease tell you that much but good job

[@doobied816]

"no need to bleed the breaks"

[@aaronwilliams1285]

Exactly no need to open the master cylinder

[@drakeandjosh007]

Do you need to bleed breaks when you do a front and rear brake pad change??

[@greensparks415]

Can’t see through your arm I get it it should be easy to figure out but that’s the reason I’m watching your video but I can do without you hairy arm’s in the way especially when you’re talking about greasing some pins I have no clue which one because I haven’t done this before hence the reason why I’m watching your video but it’s good info but you explanation has holes in it I’m sure you don’t care and I’m not trying to be rude just want to see the details so I don’t F up my bike that’s dude
