That is the TKC80 from Continental. People either love them or hate them. We prefer the Shinko 804/805 for something that is similar. They last longer and are more affordable with very similar handling. For something more offroad oriented but still street legal, the Dunlop D606 is a good option to look at too.
Thanks a lot ! First time for me to change my brake pads on my ktm. I was used to take the brake caliper of the bike to clean the piston carefully before pushing them back. I see on the users manual and also in your video that u don't to it : no risk of damaging the o-rings ?
We have never had any problems as long as the bike is clean. If the calipers have a lot of muddy grit that is still sticking to it. we would recommend you clean that well. But you should be good to go.
Great video! But i have a question: when I removed the braking pads, the 'little keeper' felt out too. At the moment I am replacing the new pads, I don't know how the keeper is adjusted or how. Any advice? Thanks!!
Nice job on the video! Simple, to the point, no nonsense and well filmed.
Every once in a while we get done right.
Is there a trick for getting the retainer clip back into place? Seems to keep my pads from sliding into their slot
What tires is that? Looks good!

Spot on my braddah. Very sano.
Thanks for watching man!
Once the break pads are removed, do you recommand cleaning the inside with break cleaner or it can damage some rubber parts?
We try to use brake cleaner as little as possible. If you feel a need to clean the caliper.... warm soapy water and tooth brush is ideal.

same problem here...
And what If the little keeper falls out, which direction does it go. Lame video
Great video
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Omg...why this sistem is not on every bike...is soooo easy!
yes
Do new brake pads come with an insulating pad? Or are they just magically swapped to the new pads in all the videos I look up?
The KTM replacements from Brembo do.
Thanks. I’ll try and make my dad proud😂
For sure ;)
Man honestly I wish you explained how to remove an install the "critical component "
Noted... we will ad that to the list of future videos.
my stock pads had a thin metal clip on the piston side....do i need to reinstall that on the new pads? not the upper clip, the plunger side pad....
Did you ever find out if you need to put that on your new pad ?
I just changed the front pads on my ktm and my front brake locked up on me after a while of riding is there a reason for that
Thank sounds pretty scary. Not sure what would cause that without seeing it in person.
UPSHIFT ONLINE I put the old pads on and they weren’t rubbing the disc like the new ones were
Same for the fronts?
Same for a KTM 790 Adventure?
Pretty sure it is the same exact process. Don't have a 790 here to verify though.
Got a front wheel one?
We shot it and the card ended up being corrupted. And we have not had a chance to get back and shoot it again.
Is the piston supposed to go back in after its out?
Yes. Just pump the brake pedal or the brake lever a few times and everything will go back to where it's supposed to be.
Open up the brake fluid reservoir cap to release pressure if the piston doesn't compress fully.
Thanks... oh and if that little leaf spring falls out you'll wish you were never born 😅
Thankfully we haven't had that happen.
Replace one pad at a time, hold it in with your thumb while you do the other, and the clip can’t fall out.
@@avakiannl @UPSHIFT_ONLINE @MrBlompod I'm here scouring the internet looking for tips to get it back in... got any?? Haha
I had to use a c clamp to push the piston in so this way didn’t work for me at all
That sounds like you have an issue. You should not need a C clamp to keep the piston in.
А как же передние?
The same... just up front.
I just took the wheel off then watched this…
Thank you for watching.
