need some help with my repair. Did the rear brake repair (pads, seat and seals). However, I keep getting 30mm diameter piston seals for the front although the pistons are 25mm.
Denny Greif no you don't. And you don't to open the fluid system unless needed, it introduces airborne humidity. It will just push the fluid into the reservoir. In my rear pad change video I briefly show this. I don't have a video showing how to bleed the brakes, cuz I didn't have a second person there to run the camera. But if you feel you need to change the brake pads you probably need to bleed the fluid.
Well I didn't do a video of it, but I did bleed the brake fluid after that. Which helps. But no I didn't do anything special to prevent glazing. Mainly just didn't do hard braking right away.
I never loosen the bangel bolt or what ever its called I didn't even remove the brake line I only removed the 2 caliper screws and the pin and the cylinder then I put it all back like it was.. cheers
Still it's been close to 7 years,I don't remember why I had to loosen it. Maybe it wasn't oriented the right way for me. Banjo bolt. Not sure why it's called that.
ALSO MAKE SURE THAT YOU APPLY BLUE MEDIUM LOCTITE TO THE TWO MOUNTING BOLTS FOR THE CALIPER. AS REQUIRED IN THE REPAIR MANUAL. EVERYONE'S A VIDEO STAR ON TH-cam UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THEIR VIEWERS BECAUSE THE TH-camR WASN'T SMART ENOUGH TO TEACH PEOPLE THE RIGHT WAY.
This smart video makes me feel stupid seeing how easy this is to do. Lol! Great job! Hope you still riding this bike! 👍😎🇺🇸
Good video, straight to the point. Thanks.
VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO PUT YOUR GREASY HANDS THAT HE HAS AND TRANSFER THEM TO THE BRAKE SURFACE OF THE PADS.
yes, the vn900 (kawasaki) in general are good quality machines.. I love my 2009 vn900 classic but i hate the fact that it only have 5 gears
It's not need any more gears because it is so much torque.
Yea feels like it should have another gear.
Can caliper bolts just vibrate off? Or was my bike sabotaged?
yeah! most balanced and reasonably priced machine overall !
Very good info, how to change break pads. Thanks to Eli!
Thanks for the video. Locktite on those mounting bolts will be a good idea.
I love my 2013 classic blue. Brazil.

Nice video. Thanks. Is there a break in process to prevent glazing?
Thanks.
Thank You Sir! Worked like a charm.
Do you think the EBC Double-H Sintered brake pads are going to tear apart the stock rotor?
If the pads are wore down do you have to push pistons back in?
Yeah I just pushed them back using the old pad and a 'c' clamp. I used the old pad so I shouldn't damage the new pad.
Do I have to take the lid of the master cylinder to do this?

Schön gezeigt,Danke

I see when he tightens the bango bolt that the whole caliper is shaky, is that normal
That's normal until you apply the brakes a couple of times. Or if you don't tighten the mounting bolts for the caliper

@@EliGaffke lol 7 years I didn't see the date I'm surprised you answered a comment..
