Hi All, Had my MOT done this morning on my Scarver and although it passed, I got an advisory notice on the front brake pads. I am thinking of having a crack at them myself - having previously always done the ones on my scooter. Looking at the service and repair manual, it would seem to be...

Guys, Am I right in thinking, with the wheel in situ on the GS, it's only the inner pad wear indicators that are visible (and thats from the front through the spokes). Thanks R/tax

All the friction material came off one of my rear brake pads today. It had been in for nearly 2 years and done 20000 miles but there was plenty of meat (5mm or so) left on it. It was an EBC kevlar pad. Has anyone else experienced this? What can cause it to happen?

Just finished the annual, service - feeling pretty confident working on the bike having done this four times now. Went for a spin - 50 miles- got back and was oiling the chain , bike on centre stand when I noticed the rear wheel would turn forward but locked up when turning it back- a ratchet...

Has anyone found a solution to removing a stubborn brake pad retaining pin without damaging the caliper? The pads on my F650GS have evidently never been changed (almost 5 years old...) and it seems that the retaining pin is seized. Has anyone experimented with taking a blow torch to the...

Hi all. I've been following the threads relating to these and am going to get one finally. It seems a few of you have already had a go and was wondering how they were standing up long term. Also, did anybody have trouble ordering them? I just tried using the secure server at Alaska Leather...

Anyone know where I can can get a decent handlebar brace pad for the F650 GS? I have found these but not sure which would fit: http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/cgi-bin/bc_page.pl?cat=HBA-BARPAD Maybe I should fit some Renthal bars too :think: Are there any specific GS/Dakar pads out there...

Just received my Alaska Butt Pad, exactly 10 days after ordering it (Nice one Barb). Looks lovely, but I can't try it out till my birthday, :-( as it is meant to be a present. :-) Its a very nice looking bit of sheep coat with a strap and two click connectors. The medium fits the riders...

Hello... Yesterday I decided to change by myself the front brake pad of my classic F650... The problem was that whem I was pulling the pads out the metal spring fell... :whistle: :whistle: and now? today I ride without that spring, but is obvious that I need to get it back in place, as soon as...

Some time ago there was a thread on here that someone could not get a replacement pad retaining pin for the rear brake and the said pin had broken. For information a kit is now available under the BMW part number 34 21 651 955 You get a new pin, circlip, and two clips for ?5.09p + VAT Regards...

I was going to change the brake pads on my bike, and while I was at it replace the keeper pins and circlips. Does anyone know where I can get replacement pins without buying a complete calliper repair kit ? (motorworks)
