Thanks so much your video, been watching it in build up to change rear pads on my 2012 VFR800X . Bicycle mechanic for many years. After last few disappointing shop service ,front brakes and new chain and sprockets 😮I decided to get a torque spanner and do it with Care! The 800x is a little different from the one in the video but your thorough I'm depth video gave me the confidence to do the job, big Cheers 👍 The pistons took a good few goes to get all way trial and error eventually got there. My main issue was after giving the calipers a good spray of brake cleaner and cleaning everything off I ended up with a thin copper membrane that I had no idea where to fit. Several hours and call a mate later I still had no clue. At this point another neighbour offered a smoke , green in nature🌬️. And after refitted callipers and much thought I worked out that only logical place would be against bottom of calliper, giving I guess a copper slip for the pads to move on👍 Still not 100% sure and I get that logic not always prevail, that said it's not going anywhere,as under pad edges and whilst loose when fitting it did kinda seem the only place to fit. Fitted the rear wheel at 4am after along day scratching thy head and only my pipe to go now 🎉. Raining here today and body aches everywhere from doing what you made simple a rather hard job on a bike with no centre stand 😮 a single sided paddock stand working 20cm from the ground 😢 Not pumped the brakes yet but spun wheel a few times and so quiet compared to my Shop $$ installation of front brakes that basically all they did was swap the pads. I even took time to polish up my 4 chrome wheel nuts , cause I could and give rear wheel a thorough clean too . Nice to do things proper like. Especially when pads I removed where original ones , 52,000km , 12yo. Thank again for the confidence you gave me to do the job with care👍

great video thank you for taking the time to make it! I just purchased a 2003 Honda VFR with 13000 miles and I'm doing a brake job right now. your video makes this job look like a no-brainer, thanks again.

you must be the only guy on the internet , who knows the correct place to put copperslip on brake pads. btw , thanks for telling me where the other caliper bolt is , it was one of the most frustrating jobs , changing my rear pads

Great video man. You didn't bore me to tears with a big introduction. Awesome. Thanks a bunch !

I wondered why the middle piston wasn't moving! I was worried it was seized... Thank you!

Don't even have this bike but still found it interesting to watch

doing the pads on my blackbird soon and couldn't find a decent video. your calipers are pretty much the same just in a different place so I'll be going off this. good video, no waffling, just straight to the job.

Thanks for this. Just used your vid to help me change the rear pads in my VFR. As no mechanic was available due to the current apocalypse.. Great stuff. 👍👍

Never done much work on bikes. However I now have an old vfr rather than my usual new supersports . Want to get involved and this video was perfect, not to mention confidence inspiring. Thank you very much. Hope you are able to keep them up

Thanks for the video. Really helpful

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put this up.

Exceptional Video Sir, used it today to do my 1st rear brake job on my 07 Interceptor. Thank You very much for the instructions!

Awesome, no wasted talking just straight to the job.

Cracking videos bud. Keep up the great work. Im learning 👍🏻🤗🤛

very good video with precise instructions.

Thank you! Finally, a video that shows every step! Thanks man!

Thank you so much for the great video. Now it is clear and understandable. Really appreciate it.

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to put this together! Will help a lot when I go to do mine soon.

SUPER erklärt. Mach weiter so!!!

Great video. Yes i looked at allsorts of different makes of brake pads and yes i went for stock Honda ones cant go wrong. :)

great work... fast and perfect... good video

Excellent video buddy. Thanks very much for the upload. Will save me a bundle in the near future no doubt. :)

Fantastic video, really helpful. Thanks for filming.

Great Vid. Its easy to see you know what you are doing. My son has a NC30 400 VFR. Couldnt find a vid on that one but I am sure its all about the same as the 800. I have a 2001 VFR800. last model before the Vtec. Still looks brand new and goes very well. Just love the VFR range.

Thanks for the great video!

Great video! I hope it will be applicable to my 2013 VFR1200F!

Excellent video

Спасибо за видео . Очень помогло . Даже не зная английский язык. Все understand. Thanks so much

Very well explained thanks for that 👍

Awesome job. Thanks

thank you for your help

Cheers dude! Very thorough vid. Same year as mine that one. Gonna have a go at doing my front and back pads tomoz ;)

Thanks Man! Very helpfull

nice video. thanks!

Very nice

Excellent, thank you :-)

That was a very clear, concise video! Well done. I'm getting ready to tackle my fronts and back pad replacement on my '98 VFR. I finally bought a Pitbull rear stand so can get the wheel off. I've seen other videos where a lot of copper grease was put on the back of the pads. What would be the purpose of that? I'd think it would collect all manner of dust and grime.

That's a great vid. Really helpful. Did you do vid for the front brake change at any stage? I'm looking to do a brake change on both my 2004 VFR 800 & 2010 CB1000ra and another vid like this for the front would be invalueable. Thanks

Thanks 👍🏻👌🏻

Great videos man. I disassembled the calipers and rebuilt them, bled them to the nines, but they still stick after applying. Not sure why. Copper slip/grease on all sliding surfaces, K&L rebuild kits used. Any idea why it won't release pressure?

I have the 04. Vfr 800. Thank you for a great instructional video. Well done. One question. Do you ever put a small amount of grease on the back of each pad ? To help eliminate squeaking noises? Just a perfect tutorial. I'm about to do fronts and rear. All 3. And going back with ebc scinterred hh pads. Cheers

Great Video man--it helped me ! Hey do you know how to replace the rear studs? I broke one!!

Great video thanks ... Where did you get rear number plate as I need one with GB flag

Good video mate but why does nobody believe the first click of a torque wrench? Nice to see you tightening the wheel nuts in a criss-cross pattern.

Hello I used your video to change the pads in my vfr 750 f and after a few days my rear wheel seems a bit stuck and doesnt move freely. What can it be?

After 14,000 miles, on my 2007 VFR800, I am hearing some dragging on the rear brake. I am wondering if it's time to replace the pads. Initial inspection the pads look about like the ones you took off in the video. I know this is a difficult question, but should I expect to be changing out the rear pads at 14,000 miles? The fronts look fine. I am also seeing some grooves on one side of the rear rotor. Should I be concerned?

Hi..great video. I had a problem getting the wheel off. So i thought I'd just open up the caliper system. I loosened the 3 nuts on the right hand side(if u are standing behind your bike), the right pad fell out. Putting it back proved a bit tricky as i damage the spring pad. I had to order another one but so far the back wheel is seizing up when i tightened the 3 nuts back. Please can u tell me how tight those should be and if there is a way to loosen the pressure a bit, even if the nuts are tight

Ps been told to check the cush on rear. Don't suppose you have a vid in this?

EBC HH all the time

Why are you double clicking the torque wrench?

If you press your slave cylinder in without opening the petcock you will DESTROY YOUR BELLOWS.

i switched off as soon as he started pulling the caliper off the bracket.
