Do not put copper grease on the pistons or any grease for that matter. There is no need to put grease on the back of brake pads but if you want to anyway use proper brake grease. Having said all that it's a good video to show you how to do everything else, well done.

Hmmm I did quite a bit of research on this and most bikers put copper grease everywhere, including piston. However I now see that car people do not and some bikers are much much more frugal with the copper grease. Thanks for the comment, hopefully next time I'll do things a bit better

@@WheeliePerd ​ Lots of bikers do things very wrong as they don't understand what they are doing or the properties of the materials they are using. Copper grease will degrade rubber seals, red rubber grease or silicon grease is safe though. Looking forward to seeing more Tiger 800 videos!

The brake piston is not going to compress until you remove the rear break reservoir cap! And a break piston compressor is not an expensive tool.

Looks like it’s time for a new rear sprocket and chain. The teeth are looking pretty pointy. Good video material.
