    Can Anti-seize be used in lieu of the "Squeaky Juice" ? Is the Template absolutely necessary?

    • @sikbaggers
      @sikbaggers  Год назад +5

      so the anti-squeaky juice is just brake paste that acts as an insulator to eliminate brake noise or brake chatter. The small vibration you will get without it can cause that chatter and be annoying..not using it won't affect the braking power either, it just stops the chatter...same as on a car. You can buy brake paste pretty cheap on amazon and I really don't see why anti-seize wouldn't work...basically, it's the same thing. The template they provide just guides you in putting on an equal amount across the brake pad...honestly we use the Permatex brand or liquid molly and smear it across the whole back and install the pad. I use it on all brake pads and HD is the only one that even provides it or a template. Here is a small bottle or you can pick this up at local parts stores too. If you are doing pads pretty regularly you can get this in a bigger bottle as well for about 20 bucks. amzn.to/3KlKlJ4

  • @franksaxton3583
    @franksaxton3583 Год назад +7

    FWIW, I always just remove the pads without compressing the pistons back in. I then give the pistons a good clean to fix/prevent the brake from dragging. There's a dirt cheap caliper piston compression tool available to shove the pitons back in after the cleaning is done. Great video! Thanks for the detail!

My service manually did not show, luckily the Harley dealership knew, that the rear brake pad pin is a different part number and maybe an 1/8" shorter than the front pins. The brake pads, for my model, are the exact same for the fronts and rear luckily.

    Totally digging your intels you always share. I just purchased my dream bike ‘22 RGL, just got done my first 1k service and the HD service tried to charge me for a full brake service job because there was moisture in the lines. The service person tried to blame me for the cause, luckily the service manager caught it and took care of me under the warranty ordeal. My question is what or how do I go about avoid moisture in my lines in for the future?

    • @sikbaggers
      @sikbaggers  2 года назад +1

      if they told you at the 1K service that was your fault, id find a new dealer and tech. Moisture gets in through small pores in the lines or on the master cylinder covers...but its minuet ...you could have a bad seal on the cover or even a bad line...a 22 with 1k miles on it...no way..EVER, that was your fault.

    • @sikbaggers
      @sikbaggers  3 месяца назад

      the only difference on a abs bike is the abs sensor on the spacer which does not need to be touched in a brake job. The two bolts that hold the matal plate are the same 2 bolts you need to pull to remove the caliper. It will still be attached to the spacer though...so just pull it off the same as this video, put it back when you put the 2 bolts back in. Go out and look at your bike...the wire going going to the spacer and the metal plate on the 2 bolts..youll see what im saying. Its only on the left side of the bike where the abs bearing is

    Hey Steve, I changed the rear brake pads few days ago and inspected the rear rotor too. Everything looked good. But with these new brake pads, whenever I use the rear brake coming to a slow stop, the bike feels like it lunges fwd slowly to a stop (rear brake only). Think that's a sign of a warped rotor?

      The only difference is the ABS sensor. On the front its a plate that has a wire going to it from the brake line. you'll see it. Its behind the 2 bolts that hold the caliper on. When you remove the caliper it come off too..all you do is put it back on before you pout the bolts back in. Super easy, cant mess it up. On the rear the sensor is on the axle...its actually part of the axle spacer so you wont even mess with it. Just change the pads like normal.
