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
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.
Lmfao the funny thing about this is when he removed the bolts An lifted the brake cali I literally laugh out loud An said dam that's easy ,seconds later he looks at the camera An says "I told you it was easy"lmfao made me feel as he was talking straight to me lol

hello everyone! is it the same on gsx250r 2021?
Great video thank you.
Will this process work for a 2011 gsxr1000?
Sir, what are the signs that need change?
So changing the pads on front and rear you don’t need to bleed the brakes after or nothing??
If you are only changing pads and never crack the banjo bolts or reservoir, then no, you won't need to bleed them because you never opened the system.
Partzilla thank you for your time!!
Great videos! Do have one on how to replace an oil pan for an 08 gsxr 1000?
We don't, but we'll add it to the list!

Tank you 🤝👏
Would this work on a gsx-r1000 model 2003?
Should be very similar.
Mr John is this the same procedure for 2003 GSXR? Thanks
Same procedure
Thank you !!!!!
I got some pads and they didnt have the little white pad and metal thing that sits between the piston and pad itself. Can i just put them on anyways?
you can swap the metal back plate off the old ones.
They were really hard to squeeze in with the backings so i just put them in and just plan on new pads sooner than normal i guess
Thanķs for help but how to chng front break pads?

You don’t have to bleed the caliper?
If you don't open the system, there is no need to bleed.
2 small metal clips came off and fell out of the caliber, not sure where they were placed
They are most likely the spring clips that go on the top of the pads.
I hate tokiko calipers, thanks anyway!
