MotoShaman, it was MBTA Commuter Rail in Boston at the Blue Line. My previous job in 1980s, I was playing music for a living underground. Glad the video is helpful to you. The front brake pads are similar. I have the video but still waiting to find time to edit it. May God protect you on all your rides.
Excellent video, thanks. I would also suggest two things: 1) clean the pin supporting the brake pads with an 800 grit sandpaper so that the pads can slide smoothly. And 2) remove the rear brake fluid reservoir cap in order to facilitate pushing in the piston.
I am pretty sure you have to clean the pin supporting the pads, and grease it with copper grease (so they move freely, don't seize or squeeze), plus put same grease on the two bold (on the part without thread). Otherwise, great video !
I didn't see it in the video but did you open the rear brake reservoir and bleed the brake system to release air? Once you push in the piston caliper it pushes brake fluid back into the brake reservoir so it needs to be removed.
Is that BART I hear screeching in the background. Nice vid, It helped to point me in the right direction for my first brake pad change since I got the bike.
You forgot to precise, people should always look at the brake fluid after doing this. It should be good but if the last owner was dumb he might have ran with worn brake pads and added brake fluid to top it off.. so it could overflow
Just a quick question. When you remove the calliper, do the pads just flop around like that or did you remove another pin? How are they stopped from flopping around when you put it back on? I'm a complete newbie!
Hello Isa Bilal. Watch the video at 4:54 to 4:56 I pointed to the 2 mounting sockets. This metal piece has sockets which hold the 2 brake pads on each side of the brake disc. Please read the text on screen. '.... drop them in their place'.
Teh Kittikul Thanks, for getting back to me, Teh. I can see what you're pointing too but they just look like mounting sockets for the calliper. What holds the pads to stop then flopping around. Sorry if it's obvious. I'm very new at this.
yeah you right, need to Loosen the bleed screw and push the brake caliper piston into the brake caliper with your finger and then tighten screw just use 4lb torque. ref: R6 yamaha service manual
Um you didn't bleed the brakes that's why you couldn't compress the cylinder..... open the bleeder screw when compressing the piston to vent the system and then top off the brake fluid after
Changed my pads for
The first time myself. Useful video for beginners like myself. Thumbs up
Good morning Muhammad, Thanks for your message. Yes, thumbs up for your effort and courage :-)

Thanks for taking the time to make the VID. im sure your saving people tons of time and headache

The Boston subway when I was busking for a living there. Thank you for your comment :-)

Thank you for your comment.
what brake pads did you use to as replacements?
if you remember
Thanks a lot! But ... are you sure it is a 13mm wrench? My FZ6 has a 12mm one.
You are welcome, Fabricio. I'm pretty sure I used the 13mm wrench, but if the 12mm fits yours then just use it :-)
You're welcome. Linkgt, yes, after the first time, it is easy (with the right tools and parts :)

Isa, I may be wrong but I don't recall that I had to put any thoughts into this. The 2 brake pads fit right back to where they belong.
Ok. I'll just trust that they do then. :)
Oh...thanks for your time.
Thanks to JayzBeerz and to fredrodta for your comments. I have added the very important final step to the description.
