Good job. I preffer to polish pistons, and change brake fluid. BUT it will take a lot of time. Usually i close the hose with a clamp, then disconnect brake mechanism and clean it and pistons. After this they will move smooth, very easy. But after this changing fluid is obligatory... Also should pump all the air from fluid away. I preffer to change fluid atleast each 2 years, because it will contain water inside. Thanks

Good video.! Most of your mistakes are minor and won’t really affect the brakes. BUT... Not cleaning your pistons before pushing them back in could prove very costly.! It’s not hard to find stories of jammed calipers cause by dirt getting lodged in the seals. Keep a close eye on your front brake as I get the feeling it won’t be running freely. May need a caliber rebuild.$$$. Good luck.

According to the service manual, the pads are changed without removing the caliper. But I don't see how it would be possible to push back the pistons without damaging the rotor disk if the caliper is mounted.

Olá, tudo bem? Não recomendo colocar a graxa no parafuso guia das pastilhas de freio, pois o pó gerado pelo desgaste das mesmas irão se acumular nessa graxa usada para "lubrificar". Ali deve ficar a seco mesmo. E recomendo também, a troca do fluido de freio por completo ou seja o fluido que ficou dentro do conduíte que vai do reservatório até a pinça, pois o óleo velho irá contaminar o novo óleo que você colar. Ok? Abraços!

Lovely vid, as always, and enjoyable! In your years of owning a NC750X, have you ever felt that the brakes are a little weak because of the fact Honda only used a single disc brake on the front and rear, while the Africa Twin and similar bikes have dual discs on front and back. Let me hear your thoughts.
@AfricaTwin-Stuff
@AfricaTwin-Stuff 3 жыл бұрын
I agree they are not “sport bike” powerful. But it doesn’t worry me. I can get ABS to kick in under hard braking. This means it doesn’t matter how many discs I have, it’s up to the road conditions and tyre quality to stop the bike.

I noticed that jou idd not apply copper grease. I put a think layer of copper grease where the back of the brake pass touch the cilinders and on the spots were the brakel pass 'glide' past the 'guides' in the caliper. This prevents squeeking when you use the brakes.

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff Wow, you got 44K out of the originals? I must be stamping on the pedal. I have the Nc750s (I'm a short arse), but I think the brakes are the same. It's newish to me so am still learning about the bike. I found, compared to my previous Cbf500, there is very little engine braking, perhaps that's why I'm a little heavy handed brake-wise for now.

i see you decided to change the very cheep std Honda blue back pads for what looks like something as equally rubbish . the brakes on the ncx and 500 x are terrible as std and improve greatly with decent sintered pads such as EBC FA196HH this give far better feel and all round performance ... you made me cringe pushing pistons back without cleaning them first , pushing all the grit and dirt passed the seal . i do lots of these at the shop and every caliper gets the tooth brush and cleaner treatment before i even think about pushing pads back ,i even push them out a little further with the pads out then i know i have got all the grime off . save your old tooth brushes just for this job . and keep the videos coming .... ian in not so sunny Scotland

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff Hi Adrian What is youre opinion about those pads after 2 years of use? Performance is ok? I need to change the pads.. so I have a dilema.. cheap organic, or expensive sintered/semi-sintered. I prefer to change the pads more often then to have wear on the brake disk. But I don't know if the braking power is ok on the cheap ones. Thanks.
