How much should front brake pads cost?

[riz]

Dont forget when playing with brake fluid, it eats through paint, so if you do spill any on paintwork then clean it off really well.
When bleeding the brakes on a fazer do you need to unbolt the caliper and rotate it to get all the air out?

Just keep bleeding it until it looks like all the air has gone, but having the brake lever pulled in overnight can work wonders if you're still not 100%.

Good news! The squeeking/crunching noise has gone. I put some copper grease on the back of the pads.


I will await the arrival of the second set of pads from Darrsi (The Legend that he is) and I will then bleed the brakes tomorrow

Glad to hear it! Giving the calipers a good clean won't do any harm though

[darrsi]

Yeah, bit of a faux pas on my part, for some reason i had rear brake in my mind and only sent him the one pair of pads!!
Other pair is en route, special delivery

Going to order some new front brake seals. When fitting them is there any special way? I watched a video on how to split and replace the seals and the guy mentioned that they need to go in a certain way. For example when the seal is in you should feel the lip as you move your finger out. Is this the same with the Fazer or not?

Smear the seals with red rubber grease when putting them in, and give the grooves they sit in a good clean with a toothbrush, preferably using brake cleaner.
