Rear brake pad replacement

[Rolls_imp]

I don't want to ruin your complacence but BEFORE pressing the piston into the caliper you should clean them properly. Use small brush and breake fluid for the job then clean all residue with brake cleaner. Will prevent to damage pistons seal and enjoy safe ride in the future.
Hawk!

Yep, easy. I agree. I cleaned the piston using brake cleaner and my fingers for scrubbing before pushing it back in the bore.

A sudden burst of industriousness resulted in a quick pre-dawn change of rear pads by light of iPhone before heading over the mountains to my cars and coffee in Soquel near the ocean. I have the factory manual and I’ve done this job before, but I still found LR’s step by step most useful.

I was careful not to forget to transfer the two-piece backings from the old pads to the new.

I’ve been using EBC HH pads and remain pleased with them; a slight improvement in feel and grip over the already excellent Honda pads. This set of rears are my third (original plus a previous replacement, and now these) at about 39,700 miles.

Rolls I was at coffee and cars today was you're bike in the back on the left? Red one?

Sure was! Good eye, spotting it in that remote parking space. Saw your beautiful 2014 on the other side of the facility. Looking good!
