How to change your motorcycle brake pads | Indian Scout ABS

It was a rainy day, so I figured might as well do some maintenance on the scout and change the brake pads.

REALLY GOOD instructions. However the head cam you are wearing needs to be angled down just a little bit. Please keep sharing.

[@Valorcycle]

Yeah its always hard getting the angle right without being able to see it live. I'll keep trying different things to get it better!

[@d0akickflip]

hey dude thanks for this video im gonna try it out soon but this is the best instructional for this bike on youtube so far .

[@Valorcycle]

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me 🙏🙏. I appreciate the support.

You may want to clean the piston edges before pushing them down. Otherwise you risk fucking up the seals. I push the pistons out a little(!) bit further out after removing the pads by slightly pulling the brakeing lever. Then rinse cleaning the pistons with brake cleaner and a soft small brush. Then apply some brake grease / copper paste around the pistons (a old zip tie might help to reach all places) before pushing the pistons back.

[@Valorcycle]

Good advice! Didn't think of that.

How have these been over the past 12 months? Bout to order some and swap out myself, having to watch on mute, they feel alot better than the stock ones?

[@Valorcycle]

They've been great! Feel about the same as stock, those are also sintered.

[@LuisTrys06]

Can u tell us where you bought your brake pads from...revzilla or dealership if so whats the part number

[@Valorcycle]

Mine was through amazon (EBC Brakes FA209/2HH Disc Brake) and brakecrafters (EBC HH Sintered Brake Pads Rear for 2017-2020 Indian Scout-1 Pair)

[@Valorcycle]

Yes, its been a lesson learned for sure! Thank you for bearing with it!

[@tjadams6480]

[@Eastcoast_Rds]

@@Valorcycle hello! Wondering what’s the size for rear pads? Got a lot of conflicting info online , thanks!

[@Valorcycle]

@@Eastcoast_Rds this is what I ordered below. If you can get your hands on the service manual I highly recommend it as it'll have all the info you need. There are PDF versions floating around. www.brakecrafters.com/collections/2020-indian-scout-bobber/products/2017-2020-indian-scout-rear-ebc-hh-rated-sintered-brake-pads-1-pair

[@joeyork9891]

I lost my clips so my brake rub rotor now.

[@Valorcycle]

That... doesnt sound like a good thing. Probably should get some replacement clips

[@joeyork9891]

@@Valorcycle Thanks. Are the pads supposed to be loose. Or in a fixed position?

[@Valorcycle]

@@joeyork9891 they are loose until you put them onto the caliper and get everything screwed in
