Learn how to change the rear brake pads on a Suzuki GSXR 1000 motorcycle. Unlike changing the rear brake pads, it’s not necessary to remove the caliper to replace the rear brake pads on a GSXR. In the video, John shows you the pivot pin you’ll need to remove and the one bolt you’ll remove to lift the caliper up off of the brake pads.

Sir, what are the signs that need change?

Mark Giles says:

I recently purchased a secondhand bike (purchased parts from Partzilla towards bettpppimproving it) and have noticed a fair amount of brake dust on the rear wheel. I am not a heavy user of the rear brake but there seems to be a heavy buildup of dust. Leaning the bike over and spinning the wheel the wheel doesn’t spin freely. The dust and the wheel not spinning freely is that normal? Or is there some issues I need to address? Help please.

Francisco Rebello de Andrade says:

I personally would not use this method. I would remove the caliper clean the piston's exposed surface and lube it with rubber grease before pushing it in (so that the dirt in piston does not damage the seals and does not contaminate the brake fluid) that way you ensure that the piston moves smoothly. Then I would clean and inspect the whole caliper and lube the sliding pins before assembly. Install the pads, you can lightly smear the back of the pads with copper grease, which helps with squealing, but if you have shims onto the back of the pad no need for that. Also I would clean the disk/rotor with brake cleaner to ensure that the new pads wont be contaminated. Then tighten everything back together to spec which can be found in your service manual. It is a longer process but still very easy and simple to do, and that way you do to top job. These little details make a difference between a professional job and a bodged job, no offence though. Happy riding lads
