I don't usually comment on this stuff but this was a truly excellent how-to! I did the job quickly and confidently. Thanks much!

Muddysump, All your videos are really appreciated and it’s a pleasure to view them, I’m learning so much from them and I’m about to change my tyres so the front and rear wheel removal videos have been a godsend. Thanks again

Thanks! Was going to take my tiger in until i checked the master fuse. I followed the directions and viola! back in the saddle.

You helped me out of a rear brake mess when i was away in France. Cheers mate !!

I like the pliers to turn the pistons, never seen them before so might have to get myself a pair! Cheers

Great channel dude! Subbed!

Your videos are really helpful.Thank you!

simple and straightforward. Thanks!

Brilliant video, helped me so much, and no silly intro,s or music. Excellent thank you.

Good video, changing my pads now on my 14 800xc

Easy peasy. Cheers for the vid.

Good video that I've used for reference several times. Thanks! A quick note: I noticed today that the service manual calls for silicon grease on the sliding pins. It states that mineral grease should not be used.

Thanks. Have a ride up and i'll service it for you ;-)

Great video

:-) I used to use ACF50 and clean it every couple of weeks when I first got it. I used my DRZ or just cycled to work when the salt was really bad, they both got ruined too though :-S

Hi, thanks for these video's! They convinced me to start doing my own maintanence on my tiger 800 XC! Do i see correctly that you use two different types of grease? What kind of grease should I use for the slider pin and the other pins? Thank you!

Do you have a video of replacing one or both of the front disc brakes? How do you work around the ABS?

Hi great videos, very helpful for a novice to learn from. One quick question where did the piston tool you use to turn the pistons and clean around come from, have tried to find one but no joy yet. Cheers

MuddySump thanks for your detail informative videos. I have noticed on my 2016 800xc were the front return brake line from the abs modulator to the caliper looks like the connection to the modulator via banjo bolt and washer does not appear as snug and tight as the line from the cylinder to the modulator, seems to be loose around the washer, although no sign of leaking at all 100% dry. Am I just over thinking? Thanks Scott D

Good vid. Thanks for posting. Iv'e been looking for a tool like the one you use for turning the pistons. Can't find it here in Sweden (perhaps I haven't been looking for it enough). Don't even know what it's called, haha :) Did you get yours at a local shop or do you know where I can get it online?

Nice video, but I am wondering where you got this nice cabin ftom the doirs and the windshield?

Thanks 🙏

Thank you for a great video, i have just found your channel, what a find. i have a tiger 800 with binding breaks. with the front wheel having 2 calipers is the process exactly the same for the other side? thank you, well explained in a easy format, boss!

Good vid but I would use red rubber grease as I find mineral based grease makes the boots swell after time.

I’m missing one of those pin bushings, the brake caliper now has a little play. It don’t seem bad but I would like to find one any clue how I can track one down, maybe parts number

hi! which kind of grease do you use at minute 6? i know that it's not good mineral grease because damages the rubber. Is silicon grease better? Thanks

Love your videos. I have a 2012 xc and just did my rear brake with no issues. When I did the front, I can't for the life of me get the pistons back in. If I push on one, the other one pops out and when I push them both together they don't budge? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

do you need the tool to pull the pistons out our can you just push them out pumping the brake lever and using a piece of wood to stop coming off completely? thanks.

hello muddysump, can you tell me what type of product you used to clean the brakes up? I use brake-cleaner which is kind like a anti-grease-stuff but it ony comes in spray-cans and i would like to avoid those.

Dayum I hope 2005 ninja brakes are as straightforward! Guess I'll find out soon...

Is this procedure and torque specs the same for a Gen 1 explorer?

I have a question, sorry for my bad english, what is tool's name at minute 3:45? Thanks

Hi muddysump. I drive the tiger 800 xcx. Do you use standard lithiumgrease for the pen in the swimbrakes? Or silicongrease? Sorry for the bad english. Hope you understand it. I'm a swiss guy. Cheers

Hi, for the first time I had my front jacked up because I wanted to change the front brake disks, they were at 4mm limit. I didn't try to spin the wheel before taking it off, but after installing the new disks, I gave the front wheel a spin and I witnessed its not moving freely, it looks like brakes are not releasing pistons and it only spins for one or two turns before stopping. Is this normal? I started to suspect a stuck piston or two, came back to this video only to see that when you pump the brakes - the pistons are also in no rush to return back. I always assumed that the vacuum in the system should suck the pistons back in. Can you shed some light on this?

Curious, Looking at a 2015 XRX, 8,800 Miles on her. Front and rear rotors look dirty or burned, is that possible? Looking for items to lower price offer, needs back tire soon ($120-$175 USD) Thanks, Cheers...

what's the trade or name of the liquid for clean that you're using ?

All your vids are great. Very professional. I would like to know the total thickness of a front pad, that is, friction material and backing plate. I have purchased some pads from the local shop and they are 10mm thick over all. These won't fit with the pistons pressed all the way back by hand. Any help is gratefully received. Do you have a Patreon account? Cheers.

About to do this, i only have brake cleaner in a can, is that safe to spray everywhere like your stuff? thanks

Can you please recommend what "copper grease" to use on the pins? The local black shit I use is absolute trash.

So its safe to just spray brake cleaner all over the caliper? even on rubber?

any ideas got a stuck plug? tried gt 85 and some heat too but nothing. stuck there won't turn. can't even use a socket on it 😕

MUITO BOM....

What is the brand of your tools?

is the procedure identical on the abs version? :)

Hey mate, in your video you don't mention the u shaped piece of thin metal, I think is called a pad retention spring and I can't figure out how to put it back in as it pooped off when I took the caliper off. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

How dumb. I should have scrolled up to see your Patreon account ;)

I want to buy your motorcycle... it will live forever....
