Buy rear brake pads here: amzn.to/2rOFsxj

@ArcanePath360 Welcome, glad to help! Yes you have to make sure the piston head is aligned with the + shape on the top, if you didn't then the pad will not moving right.. u know? Use the car wash soap, it's safe. I got some brushes to clean in small spot where you cant reach with your hands. I washed brake caliper with dish soap, just a bit with warm water and use old toothbrush. I was lazy to go to store to get brake cleaner, spray on the caliper, make sure won't touch the other bike parts

Thanks for all your hard work on these videos, Mitch. I've been maintaining my 2007 Burgman 400 on my own for years thanks to your informative videos. I only have 15K miles on mine, but I love it as much today as the day I bought it. Keep up the great work.

Just bought a 2008 Burgman. This channel is GREAT.

Thank you! Check out my other channel all on scooters @mitchsscooterstuff .. you will love it

@majorghn ya I can do that, just wrote it down on notebook to remind me to do that

Sir I am very pleased with your presentation about burgmanship and thank you for sharing this with us. Please ask if you can show how the handgun in burgman is stuck

Yes it's same thing, easier since there are nothing around them like exhaust on the rear

Thanks! This helped me a lot. I've always been scared to take my brakes apart, but my front one has just seized up on me and I'm not paying a mechanic if I don't have to. 2 questions: 1: horizontal? Do you mean the way the cross on the head is aligned? 2: I was taught that washing up liquid=bad. And as my bike is so filthy after a rough winter could I use something like solvent or wheel cleaner? Thanks a lot, stylishy made tutorial.

@ArcanePath360 I think I did that before on a different bike.. take the pads out and clean around the pistons then put pads back.. should be safe, you could spray the brake cleaner but careful not spray on other things.. cover other things with towel . don't touch the brake lever while doing that

i couldnt move my piston back in.. i've turned clockwise, and its not going... is there anything else i can do? it is stuck

hi, it's pretty common for burgman 400... it should be ok

yes it should be

any chance you can do suzuki burgman 400 handbrake adjustment

Can you make a video showing worn brake pads and how thin they should be and a tool to measure so we know when to replace them?

Just bought a 400 Burgman 2012 and needs rear brakes. So glad I found your video. Rotor is kinda jacked up as well. Also I noticed when I was driving it home that I could only get to 80 mph before hitting redline. I don't think that is normal. What do you think?

Ich liebe deine Videos !!! COOL, weiter so ;) Habe schon viel von dir gelernt DANKE !

Muy buen video.y bien explicado.gracias por compartir.un saludo

Hi MicBergsma, have you made a video showing how to change front brake pads on the Burgman 400 K7 2007+? If not, would you consider making one? Thanks, Carlo Maria from Italy

Hila mitch, disculpa que te escriba en español, ¿puedes hacer un video cambiando las pastillas de freno (brake pads) del caliper delantero?

@micbergsma Thanks a lot, I managed to source a syringe now. I have a major job on Saturday, as the harsh winter has really seized my front brake (damn bike cover doesn't cover the front wheel)

I have a 2004 burgman 650 is it the same process????

Hi Mitch I own a suzuki burgman 400 ABS I changed the rear brakes and I hear some sound but only when the engine rolls forward and when I press the brake nothing. I examined everything live I can't find a problem, do you have any idea? Hello

haha, I clean it maybe like twice a month so it won't be too dirty or hard to wash :) thanks

I want to change the front brake pads, is the same proces? Have you a tutorial?

Great vid! Thank you so much!

I wish I'd seen this before I pulled everything apart. Just needed to use a big screwdriver to wind back the auto-adjust screw for the parking bake ... 😅 ...excuse me, I have to go bleed the air out of my brakes now. 😂

Is it possible that it is lager because it is only heard when I sit on it

Hi Mic, when do you change your disk on your Burgman!!! I need your tutorial!!! Ciao dall'Italia

Hello mitch. Why is my rear brake piston really hard to wind in ? 400 2011 burger. Thanks . Dave

Mitch, How can I fix handbrake. It doesn't function anymore.

2012 model, replaced rear tire (pads okay) . Do i have to remove brake oil to fit bake assemble back???

I have a Burgman AN 400 1999, and theres no screw to depress pistons, however theres a screw on the other side thats used for Handbrake setting, I unscrewed it easy step by step, and depressed pistons inside. What do mean is that correct what I did? I also took some brake liquid out before doing this. Thanks mate

Hi Mitch, old but great video. I have an issue with my front brakes, on the right side , I can’t remove the calliper, the pads are slightly rubbing on the disc and the wheel spins OK, but it seems something stuck and the calliper can not be lifted off the disc rotor, do you have any advice? Thank you so much for your assistance.

Hey, I would pull the caliper off harder, happened to me on some scooters before… maybe use rubber mallet to push it off

@@MicBergsma awesome, thank you so much for your help, Mitch. Much appreciated. 👍🙏

@micbergsma Thanks for your help. I just realized I don't have a syringe. Would leaving the brake fluid in there be okay if I were really careful and didn't push the piston in? (just brushed gently around it)

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. I have a Burgman 400, '09, and there is 5800 miles on it, in excellent condition, only I've noticed of late that there is alot of rough shaking when I first start off, and it smooths out once I give it throttle, and I've even noticed that it lets up after I've been riding it along time, or it's hot, it seems to be alleviated. Is that rubber belt on it's way out? Is that the problem? What do you think?

Thanks could I use brake cleaner instead of soap 🧼 & water? 💦

I think I am having an issue with rear brakes. Changed rotor and pads about 2000 miles ago and pads are already worn out and the rotor is rough likely due to pads being worn out. Is that normal? Now I am trying to remove caliper but it's like the pads are grabbing on. Any suggestions? 2012 400 Burgman. Thanks!

@@MicBergsma Great! It worked. Thanks! How many miles should I expect from pads? Those last pads I had were junk. Maybe not even 1,500 miles and I don't use the rear brake much.

@webchez69 hmmmm

crikey mate, could ur scooter be anymore cleaner?!?!? haha i have an 06 uh125 and jesus.. it's filthy, doesn't help that it's all sprayed in black down there.. but hands are going to be demolished after i do mine today. nice work

God damn it! I've just broken another brand new ratchet socket wrench trying to get the brakes off. How in the hell do they come off? I sprayed loads of WD40 round them but the nuts just won't budge. I guess I'm gonna have to pay £100 for the mechanic to do it at this rate. The wind and rain isn't helping either. Oh well :(

thankssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Nice vid! Lol
