Fitting front brake discs

[Twotter]

I'm feeling that juddering when braking that tells me that my discs are in need of replacement. It looks a straightforward job..

Wheel off
Old discs off
New discs on
Wheel on

The bike is a 02 1150GS.

Am I missing something or is it as straightforward as it looks ???

Nope, that's it pretty much...

Just be careful with the bolts on the Discs, they can be a wee bit of a bugger to get undone..

See your bank manager first about re-morgaging before investing !.

As CC says - Make sure the bit is well seated in the bolt head. If it slips out - you'll knacker the splines

Cheers all.

Funny you should say that Dave, it also looks like my clutch is on the way out too. Dealer quoted around £800

Are both discs shagged?.
Should you change the discs as a pair like you would a car or would changing only one cause an imbalance/bad practice WHY?.
Fit new pads to new discs anyway.

You can buy the clutch kit for £150 ish from independents,but the real cost is in time.Plenty of info on hear and on ADVrider about changing a clutch,but you can find other problems that need to be fixed.Knackered wheel/paralever bearings,rotten clutch pipes,dry drive splines and stripping gearbox splines to mention a few.

If you're spalshing out on new discs, then buy a set of new disc bolts as well.

With regard to fitting the discs can anyone assist with a torque setting for the bolts ........
