Motorcycle Tech Tips: Rear Brake Pads

[@johnybrokeit]

Your video made my day! So, all of you who worked toward this video, thank you so much. I changed my ktm duke 390’s chain n sprocket set for the first time, a few steps went wrong and a friend ended up pressing on the rear brake pedal after I’d removed the back wheel 🥴 All this stuff about bleeding brakes, etc, rushed into my head. Then I saw u spacing out the brake pads with a screw driver or something.. allll that I needed :) Yawl saved my day. Thank you.

I leave the rear wheel on, push the calliper across rather than pry on anything.

Good video. You may want to mention socket, allen wrench, etc, sizes and torque specs.

Every bike is different so no point

Hey man so my rear brake won't open back up after I push on it. Its tight pedal only moves down an inch at most. The brake piston only gets tighter and tighter. When i release the brake pedal the pedal mocws back up because of the spring but the caliper doesn't let any pressure off the brake pad. Have to push hard to lock it up. No light braking. I push the brake once and the brake piston stays. I have to manually force the brake piston open and then I get one good push on the brake and it stays shut... i dont understand. The piston looks clean. I ran some brake kleen on it. Hasnt helped. So now I'm in the process of taking the caliper off.. It doesn't look corroded at all. With the brake caliper off the pedal moves smoothly and keeps pushing the piston out. But it take alot of pressure to push the piston back in. The outside brake pad is worn alot more than the other one and is worn unevenly. I cant get a new brake pad in without a clamp I bet. And I wonder how it'll work then.. i truly don't fucking know what's wrong any help would be greatly appreciated...

Had this issue on my car and it was the brake caliper, not sure if you've found your problem yet but if I was you I would just throw a new caliper on

[@BOWLINGPHREEK]

Thanks for the video, really appreciate it. But I would like to ask you why you used anti seize on the pin for the brake pads. That product is supposed to be used on the threads of a bolt or pin.

[@maverickjohnson7534]

Anti seize acts as a lubricant that also repels water, keeps the parts working in smooth operation for longer with less wear on the pin

[@detroitpyro2859]

If you get that grease or anti seize on the brake pads wont they be ruined??

[@soulja304]

Can you do this without taking the wheel off? I’m working on my 98 Cbr900r rear brake caliper

2:03 where can i buy i new one i just broke mine😂

[@wernersunkel]

Great video!

[@loopedron3173]

thank you so much! 🙏

[@PítrRepeater]

Any logical reason for rear wheel removal ? :O

[@vintagebikes4215]

Great video...

[@edwindol3597]

why remove the wheel?

[@bobyolstunts2725]

So i could get the caliper off. It's attached at the axle

[@sonabsgaming5225]

Pls answer my question.. There's a noise in my brake pad i think when the wheel is spinning and also when i brake.. what's the reason????? Pls

[@ArcanePath360]

You need complete new brakes. Only kidding. Could be a number of things, try searching for break squeal. I put copper grease on the back of my pads to mitigate brake squeal. If it's doing it all the time you need to strip down and give it a deep clean as it's likely seized due to road grime. They need stripping and cleaning at least twice a year or they seize up and get worse.

[@sonabsgaming5225]

Thanks. I changed my brake pad and it's fine now.

[@ArcanePath360]

@@sonabsgaming5225 Good to hear. There may have been debris stuck in the pad like a piece of metal. You can normally tell if it's this because your disc will show a line where it digs in.

[@sonabsgaming5225]

@@ArcanePath360 yeah your so right wooow. It's my first motorcycle and didn't know a thing 😅. My disk has a lot of lines now I hope it will disapear since I change the pad.

[@ArcanePath360]

@@sonabsgaming5225 Take it easy with new pads, you have to break them in. Also a good tip when cleaning your brakes is the rotate the pads to prevent uneven wear. This means taking them off and swapping them round, but be sure you have pads that are exactly the same each side as not all are made this way. I fully recommend this video on how and why to do a deep clean in the winter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH_dYWOFibd_sK8

[@wydopensports8335]

Thank you!

[@plowhand5591]

Thanks. 👍🙂✝

[@BrandonRossVlogs]

My pads fall down and I don't know why. The lil clip thing locks 1 into place but not the other

[@annsuatomboc4251]

Wow thank you

[@bigironjakesd619]

YOU DO NOT REMOVE THE WHEEL!!!!!I🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@mikezeee4871]

He's completely wrong, you do not need to remove a rear wheel in order to replace brake pads. What a waste of time misleading the public.

[@graks6948]

If wou want to clen up the breaks its better tp remove the weel

[@LambCov3r]

You don't need to remove the wheel.. it doesn't make any sense
