Opa, sou Brasileiro moro em Uberlândia-MG. Aqui no BR não encontrei tutorial da troca de freio traseiro, o seu foi o melhor vídeo! Não entendo a sua língua mas foi muito bem explicativo na prática! Vou trocar a minha agora 😁. Obrigado Americano! Sucesso e bons ventos, irmão!

Thanks for this video. It's helped me to change my VN1500 rear brake. My bike rear brake is only one piston and there is no any pins at all. I pulled pads out when I open caliper.

Thanks for the demonstration. A friend and I will be changing the rear brake pads on his 95 Vulcan 1500 and this should really help us.

Oh boy it's been awhile. I think 170 in the rear cuz stock is 150? And I think I upsized them and it fixed the speedo. It's been a few years and I don't have the bike anymore. I know for certain Metzeler brand. The front was stock size,

need some help with my repair. Did the rear brake repair (pads, seat and seals). However, I keep getting 30mm diameter piston seals for the front although the pistons are 25mm.

Can you tell just by looking at the pads (while their on etc) whether they need to be replaced ?

After taking out the cotter pin, I cannot get the calper pin to budge. it should just slide out right? Please help!

without pressure on the peddle I can wiggle the caliper, when I press down on the peddle it tightens a bit, but not enough to slow the bike and I have no pressure on the peddle!

I have a 2002 Kawasaki 1500 vulcan with 10,000 miles. I have no pressure on my rear brake peddle. I attempted to change the pads only to realize that they are still like brand new. I tried to bleed the rear brake, no air is coming through, just straight fluid. still no pressure and basically no brake at all. "PLEASE HELP!" before I end up a statistic!!!
@EliGaffke10 жыл бұрын
Is the piston on the caliper moving? Check out www.Vulcanforums.com probably be able to get some help fast.
@williammason288510 жыл бұрын
how hard is it to change the caliper? is it something I can do by myself?
@williammason288510 жыл бұрын
even if the caliper was bad shouldn't I have some pressure on the brake peddle???
@EliGaffke10 жыл бұрын
Yeah you should. When you pump the level with the bleed valve open does the fluid pump, or does it just steadily trickle out?
@williammason288510 жыл бұрын
when I press the peddle the fluid comes out. please help!
