Just followed this and wanted to say thanks for the guide. First time I have ever done something like this and replaced the front pads and rear in about an hour. Put copper grease all over it. One thing that might be worth mentioning for the rears is that I was a bit perturbed at the time that when back on, the calliper moved side to side about 1cm. I spent about 10 mins re-tigthening everything and couldn't get it to sit. Then I pumped the back brake and of course hey presto it pushed the cylinder out and everything then stayed very firmly still! I've done 10 miles or so on her tonight and everything working like a dream. It is going to Honda next week for a yearly service anyway so I'll ask them to check all is well.
Oh, and there was no way in hell my cylinders were pushing all the way back in like yours did. I probably had about 7-8mm of them showing. Managed to just about get the pads over the rotor all the same.
I've noticed the previous model of bike such as a cbr 600f . Then had a smaller disk but they have a extra piston in the front calipors so bigger pad . Do u think they are better on the older model
I really liked them. I found that they had a much more aggressive initial bite. Not something you want as a new rider but once I'd got a bit more experience I preferred that. They had similar stopping power as OE. For me it was all about the feel. They were great on a track day too.
Were? - Did you end up changing them for something else in the end? - Thanks for the video by the way, I am doing the same job over the weekend so always good to see the job in hand in advance.
If you’re going to do maintenance, please get some better tools than a socket set from Halfords. Also, don’t hit the end of the wrench with a hammer because you will shock the mechanism of a cheap set like that - use a bar over the wrench to lengthen the bar and get more leverage.
i know this is comment is a year late but i have carried out two full classic mini restorations and a multitude of other mechanical tasks such as head gasket changes, engine removals, clutch changes, endless suspension and brake jobs and my Halfords tools are still spot on to this day. Unless you are a professional and can claim VAT back you really dont need the higher end tools.

Sorry for the delay in replying...Thanks for your kind comments and glad you found it useful
Just wanted to thank you for your videos on changing pads - front and back. Helped me change mine on my nc750x.
Glad to help
Super helpful vid. Allowed me to do my cb650f 2018 brakes. Thank you
Sorry. 30Nm or 40Nm other 2 screws?
Hi friend good video by the way Do you have clip about how to remove and setup fairing Honda CBR650f?
Thanks, sorry no and I don't have the bike anymore.

Sorry no idea, have never ridden the 600F
Does your rear calipor wobble more than the front ?
Sounds like you may have a warped brake disc.
What makes you think that mate
@@drewtaylor6623 When you say wobble, do you mean wobble when the wheel is stationary or does it wobble as the wheel turns?
I just mean the calipor can wobble more than the front 2 and when bikes stationary when you jiggle the calipor with hand
Nope, solid as a rock
Nice vid pal 👍 👌
Really useful mate.
Anyone else cringe on the matter with brake clean all over paint and plastics 😯🤨🙄🙄
How many do i need for the front?
They come in a pack of two pads, so enough for one caliper. You'll need two packs as there are two calipers, one either side on the front wheel.
are the pad retaining bolts torqued to 17 or 70nm?
It's torqued to17Nm
How do you like the pads? Better than oe?

They do the job for what I need and becasue they are a cheap set I don't need to be too careful with them!
Take a hike Paul. Cheers for the video middleagedrider
