Very good video, thank you ! I love the "Caution!" haha. Un saludo

When compressing the calliper, put a cloth around the brake lever reservoirs, otherwise you will push the brake fluid back up and overflow! Or simply bleed some out with proper gear so as to not get air in the system

hey i got a new caliper setup for my 50cc, and they sent it to me with the pads out of the calipers. they didnt give instructions either, and i cant figure for the life of me how the pads are suppossed to fit in. i slide the pad in and they dont clip or anything its just getting sprung back out. i think i might have bent one of the clips to much too. are you supposed to get those little nubs of metal on the pads behind the lip of the clip or in front of them

Very helpful

[@mrgriff6122]

Do you need the copper grease or can I just do it without?

[@chrisvegaofficial5811]

What are the name of the slide plate or whatever it’s called that the break pads clip onto

[@pakapeta7772]

Why my brake piston won't push in? plz help

[@bluecobalt665]

thanks!

[@santerisuuri5139]

How do you get the piston back out from the hole when it's been pressed to the bottom I mean atleast for me when i press it down theres no room under it for the fluid to push it back up??

[@christianappelt7971]

The hand is blockning the view

[@petecochrane1782]

Good video thanks. Is it normal for there to be some play side to side with the front wheel after the caliper has been mounted? Cheers.

[@FPV-ke1ef]

What’s the size for the g clamp please

[@rockyp3917]

I don't have the tool I I push back the piston

[@kennethcoutinho4439]

Whats the reason for not operating the lever with the caliper removed

[@phrvlog]

Because the pistons will lock up

[@peterwells6920]

Hi how can i adjust my rear caliper iv changed the pad bit they are rubbing on the disc

[@mcgeebeat]

Your caliper may be sticking. Might be time for caliper and hose.

[@peterwells6920]

Steve McGee would a good clean sort it out?

[@Gabcsu1]

after changing my break pads my break is overheating very hard and the wheel rotates quiet hard too.

[@rjs198585]

+AngryGamerOnPC The brakes are binding you need to check the slider pins on the caliper are free and the pads are inserted correctly

[@Gabcsu1]

pads are good , slider pins cleaned and lubricated,i changed the braeke fluid and cleaned the whole braeke system piece to piece now it is better but still not the best maybe it needs just a few km to be good.

[@rjs198585]

The pads will need to wear in about 100 miles/ 150 km should do it :)

[@ABHI72033]

@@rjs198585 after how many kilometers brake pads have to be changed?

[@radiocontrolled9181]

​@@ABHI72033Depends on brake pad material and your riding style.

[@eveliocawich792]

Were you buy that caliper

[@kevinellison6962]

the only problem with this video is your hand is in the way about 60 percent of the time so i cant see what your doing.

[@buckmajor]

Hey mate, I need new brake pads. My 125 scooter has done almost 33,000kms. Do I have to change the brake fluid too?

[@terenceneedham9064]

Dont think so. Goodluck

[@rasmustkker1061]

[@User44589]

HELP!!!!!! what if I pushed on the brake handel by accident and now the piston won't go back down? How do I let the air out or something to let it sink back down and to where it should so I can put the brake pads in?????? Help!!!

[@like-icecream]

You probably sorted this out by now but just for the record undo bleed valve or master cylinder and then push it back.

[@PowerNoob9000]

New parts are too expensive. I just by a new scooter every once in a while.

[@4TheRecord]

Break pads cost like £12, a new scooter costs a lot more.
