- I need new rear brake pads for the Triumph Tiger 1200 and the dealer is closed. I better just do it myself then.......easy job with some EBC GG pads. These pads are very low cost, about €25/£20.
Thanks for a great video Terry, in the last week I have changed rear brake pads and wired a new satnav by using your videos.
Great, glad it was of some use.
Cheers, Terry! I've got a 2017 I bought used last year. I think I may be having a bit more rear brake drag than normal (a VERY stiff push will give me about one revolution, and the rear disk/caliper are much hotter after a ride than the fronts are). I was looking for a quick instructional that would show me how the caliper slides are accessed. I appreciate your video; it's very clear and well explained. I'm at about 6,500 miles, and based on the comments here I'm thinking it's time to just go ahead and buy replacement pads and do a full service on the back end. Thanks for clear, concise documentation of the process.
Scott S - sounds about right. Worth doing as the pads are so cheap too. As they wear out so often, I get 8k km out of mine, I’d be tempted to order up two sets and save on postage. Good luck!
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff you change your rear brakes every 8k km ?
@@caioribeiro8582 this bike eats rear brake pads. Living in Ireland it spends a lot of its time on smaller roads rather than motorways and the pads get a good workout. So yes, 8,000km on average per rear set. Fronts would of been on the same set at 32,000 km if it were not for the recall by Brembo though.
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff brother I’m asking because I’m with the same issue , but worse than 8k
My last change was 1,300 miles ago and believe me it’s gone !! I called the dealer and they said it depends on each person. But come on 1,3k ??? It’s ridiculous for me even being a city driver
@@caioribeiro8582 no, something is not right with your rear brake. An overhaul of the rear caliper sounds like a plan, a seal kit is very low cost on this one. If that doesn’t get it a new refurb kit for the master cylinder would be next.
Cheers Terry, i shall be giving this a shot soon.
Cheers Billy. Note if you use EBC pads they do not recommend putting the original backing plates and piston side spacer (insulator?) back on. This info is a bit random though and you can be lucky to come across it. The EBC pads were not too kind to my rear disc even though they are only GG and not HH, I spent an extra few bucks and went back to OEMon the next change.
Gotta love the Tiger, they sure do eat rear pads! But that's TC and linked brakes for ya, I almost never use the rear brake but well into my second set at just under 6000 miles. Bloody good job they are cheap...
Mark Mundy - that’s it, if they were dear you’d be a bit miffed alright. I think this Nissin calliper has been around a good while and on a lot of bikes hence the low cost.
Taking the rear wheel off on this bike is the easiest job - and it would give so much clearance to access the caliper much better. :)
Yes, can be done of course but it wasn’t too hard to access. All in all a time saver to leave the rear wheel on I think. Not much in it though I will agree. 👍
good tips gonna give it a go
Good luck.
To make it simple just take the tire off you have all the room in the world!
Another triumph by mr Cox !
Thank you Brother :-(
Before changing the brake pads, I first remove the rear wheel. Then it is much easier to work on the brake calliper.
It’s a good option too 👍.
Helpful video. Thanks
Nice vide again Terry, can i ask did you do a video on resetting the bike , i have changed the down pipe and end can and also the airbox, can't find it on you tube
The 12 minute tune? Here it is th-cam.com/video/XssEp2WmK_Y/w-d-xo.html
Thânkyou sör 🇹🇷♥️🙏🙋
What kind of grease did you use for the slider once you cleaned it and put back on? Just finished same job but never took slider off. Much better access like you said. Great vid.
For the actual sliders I had a high temp grease which doesn't affect rubber so used that. The very smallest of a layer. White Lithium based grease was on them and probably well suited but I didn't have any.
What fluid are you using to clean it? 😊
Just a bit of soapy water, no special sprays needed.
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff i habe 13.5k miles on my 2019 XCA and rear break is literally non existent.. Need to get this done
@@rajb2r this bike eats rear pads, partly due to the linked brakes, luckily this is a very common nissin caliper so pads are cheap compared to many others. Good luck!
Very interesting, haven't looked at my brake pads for a year so i better. Cheers
we all seem to have too much time on our hands these days, thought I might as well just get on with it.
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff
Thankyou for inspiring me and now I have replaced the rear brakes pads and they where needed and it was so easy. Got front pads as well but didn't need to change them but still took them out and cleaned. All tools where used where from bike tool kit but tension wrench. Cheers
Ride time.
Keith Andrews - Excellent Keith. I think these lockdowns have taught us to be a little more self sufficient which can only be a good thing. Enjoy the ride!
6 weeks out my last set of pads and about 5k miles
That’s about it, 5k miles in curvy /braking roads on these pads. Good mileage in 6 weeks mind, great going.
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff sure the photo rally has one doing that love the videos
Buongiorno.. complimenti x per ol video ,io ho una Triumph Tiger 1200 deserr edition sai dirmi il modello o codice di pastiglie posteriori ordinare grazie
EBC FA288 ma al successivo cambio pastiglie sono tornato alle pastiglie marchiate Triumph che erano meno dure sul disco posteriore.
How many miles did you have on the old Pads ?
snakecoils - getting around 7k-8k kilometres on the rear so this is the fourth pair, first three were Triumph OEM and I got the EBC just because of the lockdown. Front have loads left on them but they will be renewed for free
in the Brembo recall affecting the Tiger 1200 (amongst many other bikes). Just put fourth front and third tyre on too.
