Hey mates Another one here, pads were almost worn out. Could have lasted for another 2-3k kms but as I had spare ones in stock, i thought of changing them. These are not RE ones but understandably, KTM/Bajaj 390 line up, ones are same as stock, all being made by Bybre.. This was suppose to be a swingarm bearing greasing/cleaning vid. But that is the idea, keep working on your ride, as and when required, keep replacing the worn parts. Next will be Swingarm cleanng/greasing vid. Cheers :)
you prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@Howard Finnegan Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
You're the highest authority regarding the Himalayan. Thank you for all the videos you've made. They are like an encyclopedia. Best regards from Brazil
Glad to see you back! You know why lots of people support you? I came to your channel for knowing about Himalayan. But I subscribed just for you. Your way of presenting the videos. You seem to be doing these videos for 'your' bike, 'your' satisfaction and not for giving gyan to others here. And you seem enjoy doing that. You don't seem to care about subscribers, likes and shares. Just simple! I don't know if I will follow all your videos, but if I will definitely often check your channel. 👍🏽
Heart warming mate. Those words were truly heart warming. Thank you so so much. Yes it feels good, even when it is the simplest of jobs. The ride after, the whole experience of the entire process. You got it ;) Thanks again and Cheers :)
Awesome. Very helpful. I was struggling to push the piston cup in the caliper back with the brake fluid cap on... Thanks for your videos. Really appreciate them. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks mate, simple machine and simple diys go a long way in keeping it running optimally with added benefit of no mid way unnecessary breakdowns and low maintenance cost, plus need less to mention, added life of parts. I appreciate your kind words mate, thanks. Have a good one, cheers🙃
It's great to see you doing things you love..... You have gone far and r doing great as you do with your bikes 😉. Also your informative videos may scare some mechanics. So stay brave and charge ahead. 👍😎
Thanks mate :) and you do understand that such inspiring comments like yours keep me motivated to stay on track of recording all and everything, you are spoiling me;) Cheers
Thanks mate, really glad you enjoyed and found these useful. I have covered a lot in other vids please do check the DIY playlist and let me know if any thing is troubling, cheers :)
Excellent tutorial. Thank you so much. I will need to do my first brake service, and this is exactly what I needed. You are a great professor :-) One question... Should there be any "brake drag" when you spin the rear tire by hand, or should it turn freely without any friction?
Thanks mate, and yes the is some brake drag but that depends on the condition of caliper and those pins. Freely moving caliber will retract much easily and quickly on clean and greased pins thus creating less drag. Cheers :)
Hey mate, just a bit patience and practice. When they fall out, put them in and make sure they are firmly in, there is a small tab on the spring as shown in the vid, make sure pad is not getting stuck on that tab and easily sits on the other side of it
Brother...u r jus amazing... Jus came to see what arw the videos u have...ended up subscribing your channel... Amazing DIY videos... One question... Jus like how front caliper is removed without removing the wheel itself... Can rear caliper also be removed without removing the wheel itself...??
Great detailed video of rear brake maintenance mate, you got it nice and shiny! I heard that you shouldn't be using petroleum grease to lubricate the sliding pins because it tends to deteriorate the rubber boots over time. Silicone grease is what they use at the factory and that's what's recommended. What are your thoughts?
Thanks mate :). And yes silicon is certainly a much better option. If you have access, stick with silicon only. Or there are caliper specific synthetic grease too. That the best for these kind of jobs, will see if I can source some for next time. Cheers:)
Dot 4 is the one recommend by RE, but 3 and 4 can be mixed in emergency as both are glycol based. As for brand dont spent in expensive ones. Just stick to Bosch or even say Bajaj one. Idea is to use fresh fluid from sealed container as old brake fluid lying around your garage, no matter how much you tighten the cap, over a period of time will absorb moisture and loose its effectiveness. So best get 100 ml container to do bleeding or topping up. No point buying 250 ml or 500 ml container. Cheers :)
@@nandannanda3397 it depends on which brake is used more. I my case these were changed at 16500 kms and could have done another 2000 kms looking at the material left on older pads. Cheers :)
Help! My brake piston is jammed. I tried removing the cap from the reservoir but that didn't help. After close observation, i found out that the piston is a little slanted. And is jammed. Please help me out on how to fix this
I don't have that rubber inside my reservoir. Bs4 non abs. Should I get it?. Also my rear brake is giving strange feedback while applying like the recoil of a rusted spring. I recently changed my pads 3k kms ago. Any ideas?
Hey mate, I think we are talking about diaphragm that black rubber. Please do check it again sometime then pads are new it is in contracted form and sits in reservoir cover when opened. If it not there please get one asap and also swap brake oil. That diaphragm also acts as seal to keep moisture out, with out it the brake oil is probably contaminated a has water/ moisture, that will effect braking the way you have described. Cheers
Hey mate, yes to gain full access to all the parts we need to remove the wheel. It's the greasing of the pins that is critical for smooth long running. If you don't need to grease the pins then brake caliper cleaning spray can clean the piston and will do a decent job too. I would say for regular upkeep just clean the piston without removal of wheel and every 10000 kms remove the wheels to clean thoroughly and grease pins too
I keep switching between my old Sony and phone, i mean whichever has charged battery to get me through the diy. Sometimes even both are put to service :)
Hi brother, want to get help from you...my bleed bolt of the rear calliper broke from half while trying to repair. To remove the broken bolt I tried to drill away the blot, in that process, I created hole in the body of the caliper itself. Which bike Rear caliper can be inter-changable with Himalayan cause Bybre made calipers are used by host of bike brands in the country. Looking forward to your reply.
@@leuheanrede Sir ! It is not what I feel. One cannot think or feel about crucial components like brake pads, they are not are a matter of your or my choice. One has to have the exact knowledge to be able to decide if something needs to be replaced or not, cos on a motorcycle, your life depends on it !
@@stankropiunik2539 I understand. But I think I should have made it clear that it depends on ones riding style, like say if one is not dependent on rear brakes that much, those pads could have lasted a lot more than you stipulate. Or would you like for me to prove my point, put those back in and do another 2-3000 kms on them and show you ;) Trust me mate, real world experience and practicality matters. Its different then what service center mechanics tell you or what you learn from reading. I know these pads, I know how much I use them, a race bike it is not, besides, the benefit of being hands on on these kind of things and always having spares at your disposal give you the privilege to change them on the road side and if wish desires, be as stingy to extract that last quarter of a mm to it's full potential. Grow up and stop being astutely pedantic about what you have learned from mechanics who are out to rob you at every given opportunity. Cheers to sensible riding mate :)

Another good video, nice one.
Thanks mate :) I am glad you liked it. Cheers :)
Bro when I use rear brake in my bs6himalayan some kind of metal noise is coming can u explain it bro
Hey mate, please check for the pads, if they are worn out the metal rubbing against the disk could be causing the noise, cheers
Which break fluid use for Himalayan dot 3 or 4 and which company?

@@leuheanrede thanks for the huge information... I'm also planning for the Bajaj brake pads.. as I've saw in your past video
My back brake pad has 1 side wear too much and another side half left is there any problem? In my bike
Yes mate both should wear equally. If they are not that mean you caliper is not moving in those pins. Take it out, clean and regrease . Cheers :)
@@leuheanrede how many km will do new pad
@@nandannanda3397 it depends on which brake is used more. I my case these were changed at 16500 kms and could have done another 2000 kms looking at the material left on older pads. Cheers :)

i got a safety recall letter from enfield for the brake calipers. salt on the uk roads corrodes them !

I read about it long time back in some service manual on proper functioning and operation of brakes. I am just a hobbyist :)
