1200gs brakes

[ed4554]

May have been asked before but can not find it? When changing brake pads on a servo bike is it just push the calliper pistons back as normal? Or does this feck the system up?
Also if you are lurking about Steptoe what price are your brake pads, front and rear (callipers are marked BMW) cheers.

Replace as per normal pads.

front pads £18 a set. rears £16 = ferodo platinum pads

Thanks Steptoe you have a pm.

As Steppers says, then when you've got it all back together turn on the ignition, pull the lever slightly to activate the servo and the pads will move back into contact with the discs.

If memory serves, there's not enough hydraulic volume in the "residual braking" doobery mechanism to move the pads back after a change.
