Title: Caliper split pin question
Post by: Tubz1983 on 16 May 2015, 10:50:24 am

Cleaning calipers and fitting new pads today, just a quick question before I begin, the split pin is just pushed through and then pulled out with pliers? I'm sure I've seen other bikes with an Allen key involved, but doesn't look that way on the Fazer....
Thanks again

The front pad pins are held by a pair of small R clips, the rear pins are the Allen head type.

If you have any, wire wool is very good for cleaning up the pad pins, then apply a very light smear of copper grease on the pin before refitting.
