paintman Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Is the changing of the rear break pads as straight forward as I think? I have done disc brakes on cars numerous times so I am tempted to do my own on my '00 R1100RT. My only concern is the ABS. Comments or warnings? Thanks! Link to comment

It is a straightforward job - details of how to do it can be found in the IBMWR Oilhead Maintenance Manual. Andy Link to comment

russell_bynum Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks, Printed the pages and saved the website. I now have a quick project for the weekend. Yeah, Andy's right. It's really no different than changing the pads on a non-ABS bike. While you're in there, if it's been more than a year or so, it might be a good idea to bleed/flush the system with some fresh (i.e. a brand new bottle that has never been opened) DOT 4.

LGannon Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Going to do mine this weekend, got a full set of front and rear for €103.00 incl delivery from ebcbrakesdirect.com, called my local dealer this morning €68 per pair. saved €101 Link to comment
LGannon Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Replaced the Front and rear pads this morning, was a lot easier then I thought once you have the correct tools, the pads were not as badly worn as I initially thought but I change them anyway, the outer pad on both sides (front) seemed to have more wear than the inner pad!
