How To Replace Front Brake Pads on a Yamaha FZ-09 from SportbikeTrackGear.com

[@davidbibeault8435]

Great video. The haters complaining in the comments should probably take their bike to the dealer because I found things crystal clear.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thanks for watching and the kind words. - Van

[@thesighbored]

It's a pleasure watching you do a good job on the motorcycle. Thumbs up!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I try to be as thorough as possible! Thanks for watching.

[@valko999]

good video, one note though - keep the camera shooting from the other side of the bike removing holding pins is not clear from the current position. Also what is the point of holding the brake when tighten the calipers? You forgot to say what is the benefit of this tip?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I leave the caliper bolts a little loose, spin the wheel and apply (hold) the brake lever to make sure the calipers are centered. - Van

[@kongotronics]

Hey Brian thanks for the informative video! I'm wondering if I need to lift front up to perform the tightening procedure @ 10:45? Or can I just roll the bike a little while tapping on the brakes?

[@kimberleyasselin8614]

Love the way you hold the brake assy away from the camera or use your body to cover view during the actual disassembly and reassambly!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

These install videos are difficult to shoot. If you think you can do better go for it.

[@kimberleyasselin8614]

@@sportbiketrackgear I only wanted to see what was happening, I thought watching your video would clarify things. I was wrong.

[@stonehouseguitars3869]

Well explained and demonstrated however the camera does not allow me to see anything you're doing.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

These install videos are not always easy to shoot. We do the best we can but are a bike shop and not a Hollywood studio. - Van

[@paperfacefullyloaded]

where you get that bike mount for your rack? I need one. Thanks.

[@marcios.4069]

When opening the brake oil circuit, when you collect the pistons in, is there no risk of air entering?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

No air should enter when you are forcing the fluid out. If any does enter all you have to do is bleed them which is super simple. - Van

[@murrayhillis1348]

This is a quite informative video. However, the camera was almost always looking from the wrong direction. Thanks for putting this together.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This is a bike shop and we do these to help riders choose and or install the products we offer. End of the day we can only put so much time into these videos and the installs are very tough to shoot. - Van

[@Civicfa5king23]

Just put these on my fz09 and getting a crazy buzzing noise. Everything I read says these pads are loud with drilled rotors?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Super hard to diagnose over KZbin comments. I have installed a lot of pads over the years and never run across something like this. Important to not how you break them in after the install has everything to do with how well they perform and long they last. Wish I could be more helpful this platform is not the best tool for that. - Van

[@MyRandomLife247]

Is the bleeder bag necessary? If you haven't added any additional fluid to the reservoir then it won't spill over?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

+MyRandomLife247 If you are bleeding the brakes using the bag is really these easiest and cleanest way of doing the job. Aside from a mityvac system or similar.

[@gorillaau]

MyRandomLife247 The reason for the bag is also to help ensure that you don't introduce air into the brake calipers.

[@kurtkarry]

how do you get the old fluid out of the bag...Should I just squeeze it out so I can use the bag later?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

+Kurt Karry Probably be wise to if you are looking to recycle the fluid. If there is a place you can dispose of the entire bag and fluid that would likely be the cleanest way!

Hey whay kind of handelbar do you have on the fz09

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We ran the Driven Carbon bar on the FZ-09. Here is a link to them on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/driven-carbon-sbk-handlebar/#pv__tabs

[@exemjazhuel3428]

Do you think like for replace one front rotor and a pad in a scooter 2009 Yamaha Majestic the cost is $940.00 Canadian please some body answer ASP. this is in Toronto Canada Sep 21 2020. please.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

That sounds like a lot of money for that my man. - Van

[@danielsmirh2234]

May I ask what lift your using?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

It is an old Handy lift we purchased from a dealer that closed up several years ago now. - Van

[@deberivera6676]

I ordered front and backs didn't know are you supposed to order 2 sets for the front I wish I thought of that first.i thought it was like a car when you but the fronts they come with both sides why not on motorcycles too?

[@threethrushes]

Yes, you are not the only person to make that mistake...

[@dylannickels3830]

Not all bikes have two rotors on the front.

[@gloverj6475]

You know the pin at the top of the calliper mine ain't popping out like yours did any tips for getting it out

[@TheresAlwaysUno]

How don’t you state what size the caliper mounting bolts are ? Wtf

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You should be able to sort that out on your end. - Van

[@paulgreen9265]

No need to take caliper off 🤔.Just take R clips out,push slider pins out and retaining clip then pads come out the back.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You need to take the caliper off so you can clean the pistons before you push them back in. Hard to do that when the caliper is still on the bike. - Van

[@paulgreen9265]

@@sportbiketrackgear just done mine,use brake cleaner and push back in with fingers

[@gorillaau]

@@paulgreen9265 how did you get to the fork side of the pistons?

[@h725ptt]

this bike have abs system?or not?if my bike have abs how to proceed?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The bike in this video does not have ABS. Replacing the pads on the ABS model is the same as doing it on a non ABS bike. Use all of the same steps and you should be good to go. - Van

[@vinnnocc]

4:00 can clearly see you hit the rim 🤦🏼‍♂️. i put a rag behind the caliper while removing.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

It added a little character, you're welcome. - Van
