I have been educated on so many different motorcycle tuning video's thanks to Dave, I really want to thank you for all the helpful info that you given over the years. By far, one of the best "technical teachers" I have seen

Great video! May I add that if an inconsistent sound is heard it may be caused by dirt/corrosion on the surface where the rotor mounts the wheel. Just a tiny amount of dirt/ corrosion will cause a significant amount of run out at the braking surface. If this has been happening for some time the rotor thickness will have worn inconsistently, giving the impression of a warped rotor.

You sir are a legend

Top tip, thanks Dave 👍🏻👍🏻

I've watched about 4 of these videos now and learned so much!! great content

Very useful. I just did a brake pads change and works as described.

It's true: you do learn something new everyday ☺

came here wondering if this thing I do with my road bike will work here, too. got more tips in the process! nice one Dave :)

Great video! Thanks for making it!

Thanks for your tips!

hey dave does this apply only to monoblock type calipers? I have a Ninja 650R with Tokico calipers, they bolt up differently to the fork tubes!

This may be a silly question - but do you do this before or after you've bled the brake lines? I'd assume after so youre getting equal piston engagement, but before, the pistons are withdrawn into the caliper.

Never knew about this.. what an awesome bit of wisdom, thanks!

Great tip.

Wasn't aware of this. Cheers!

Ingenious brother

Thank you dave...

I love dave

Just subscribed to the channel dave , recently bought a Suzuki gsxs 750 ,im hopeing to do most of my maintenance myself, i take it that unless specific to a certain bike that the knowledge you share is good for any bike , cheers looking forward to seeing more vids

I was like ‘ on the other side what for ?’ 😂. Amazing bike

I want to swap out my 6 pot 2000 zx9r e2 calipers with some triumph sprint rs 955i 4 pot nissins with the same mount bolt size but I was wondering if I'll have a problem with the caliper sitting centre on the disc or doesn't it matter as the pistons move freely , or is there a way to measure caliper is centre and put a washer there if needed , all the forums seem a bit vague on fitment and don't want to spend the money if it's a problem , any advice would be much appreciated thanks

I just painted my bike and when I put the rear wheel and caliper back on the wheel don't want to spin.....hoping I don't have to take it all back apart......thanks for any help or suggestions.....there are brembo brakes on the front but not the back.....it is however a caliper and not a drum.....

Is this the same process for non-radial mounted calipers?

About how many rotations should a front tire spin before coming to a stop on its own? I just had my front tire replaced by a local shop and my brake lever feels a bit different and after putting the bike on stands and giving the tire a spin, i get about 2 rotations before it comes to a rest. Ty for your time

Does this apply to axial calipers aswell?

Hi sir, I have a problem with my rear brake, it seems like it was not biting at all. I tried to spin my bike in the friction zone when I used my rear brake it wasn't even stopping. What should I do. I just bought my bike brand new last year. Thanks!

the fact this vid only has 720 likes is ridiculous how do 39k people not upvote your content when its invaluable.

Will it work on single sided piston caliper?

dose the same apply for the rear brake

When spinning the wheel there is a faint audible fast clicking noise you can hear. I was wondering if this is normal? This noise started when I married a set of M50 brembos with Vesrah Sintered Pads.

Does this work for the calipers bolted at 90 deg to the rotor too? Or just the inline ones on modern bikes?

hmmm. my rc51 front wheel only makes about 1 revolution when I spin it with a lot of force. rotors are straight and disk is centered in the calipers. what should I do?

I knew I seen this technique somewhere!! I had to do a KZfaq search.

Does this work with a single sided piston brake caliper??? I have one of those old brakes and wonder if I can do this same method???

Cheers 👌

Why does the wheel stop.so quickly? Are braking pads resting on the disc? Will that not produce heat and ware the pads out?

do you do that with the rear brakes? they have a guide from the swingarm

finally,a tutorial with no bullshit and like or subscribe

Well FML🙃 mine does this and thought I had a problem.cheers

fucking brilliant...thank you Dave~

My problem is the caliper bolts cannot mount to the fork because it’s not aligned.. the caliper bolt holes are about 1/2” towards the wheel. I have tried pulling the caliper back towards me to get the bolt aligned but no luck. Any advice?

On Hydraulic Disc Brakes on a bicycle, when they are aligned the wheel rotates completely free... but here, not as free, why?

I really don't understand why this is necessary in axial calipers. I mean, this calipers cant be aligned. When you adjust the axial bolts, they get always in the same position looking the bike from the front. Adjusting the screws with the brake activated, the only thing that it generates is that it hardly changes its position (due to the clearance of the holes and the caliper screws) but looking at the motorcycle from the side, that is, it does not impact the alignment (which is what we see from the front) Please, someone correct me if a wrong. We are here to learn to do things well but in an efficient way (I mean not to do unnecessary things) 🙌

His name is Dr. Dave Moss.

Can it be done without lifting the bike? I'm thinking about walking with it, hit the brakes and then adjust. A side question. Can (is it possible) the pads or caliper be set further apart so that the pads don't touch the disc at all? Appreciate your content - greetings. :-)

My bike still same, skipping

best advice ever thank you so much that fixed my problem thanks again

this dude is high :)))))))) don't use the torque wrench just do that shit you did :)))))))
