If one pad, in a set, is worn more the the other, is that a sign of there being a problem? I noticed that issue on my rear pads. I cleaned and greased the pin to ensure movement, but not sure if that helps eliminate the issue.
In one "caliper." Dragging brakes may bend rotor disks and those can cause wear, This is perhaps something to check. The disks don't have to be the same on either side. The ST1300 has combined braking. This operates the pistons unequal. With the front brake being applied, only the center piston of the rear brake is being activated. My thought is that all this front braking is too easy for the rear caliper and it may not want to clamp onto the disc just as firm as the brake should with use of the other two. Or just briefly, because Combined Braking System is not activated with just a little force on either of the brakes. So that riding feels natural and predictable under all circumstances. Was the opposing side left more intact? When yes, the pistons push the pads to the disk and next but immediately, the other side clamps onto the disk. Not much different in demand to both pads, unless braking often goes both soft and briefly.
You missed a lot of things. The pistons were not cleaned. Which is very important. The caliper bolt was not tightened. The pad retainer clips was not examined for proper seating and you did not tighten the caliper bolt.
You made it look easy!
$30 for a set. Never skimp on Brake pads, You'll be changing them next Week.
Absolutely right. Spend a little extra and go with OEM.
Hey me Frend ,best Video 😊 Reinhard out Germany, next make IT selbst, sorry vor my Englisch 😊
very easy👍✌️🤙
You forgot to put the wear indicator (squealer) back in from the old ones.
I had a clip fall out and cant place where it came from
You say that you only need to remove the pannier for the rear pads, so why did you remove the exhaust too?
Just to have a clear shot filming the video.
@@motardsquid That makes sense.

Seems you also dismounted the exhaust to get to the rear pads, I guess that's easy too...
I did it mostly to get a good shot of the caliper. But it's not required.
You know that you put the inside front left pad in wrong way round right? 4:44

How do you clean the pistons
@@KurtTerryn Brake cleaner!
