At some point you will have to replace your brake pads. Ideally you check your brakes once every year & clean/lube the calipers. Sometimes due to poor maintenance the brake pads wear uneven & then you have to replace them earlier to maintain your brake system in top performance.
Whatever the case, this video shows how to replace your front brake pads & walks you through the process on a Vstrom 2017 but the process is similar for all motorcycles.

    Perfect timing, I’m gearing up to tackle this project in the next few days. My season has just been abruptly ended by 5cm of snow, and I’ve got nothing but time for maintenance for the next 3-4 months. Love your channel! Thanks!

    The V in Vstrom name does not mean V twin but Versatile so yes, no problems with my channel name there.

    Very good informative video.. I had a question, is it ook to replace the OEM brakepads with EBC once , I find them better in braking, but will it wear the disk rotors much faster ??

    Thanks. Well if you have better performance and this is what really counts for you, some brake pads will do this. I dont have experience with those but how dramatic the wear can be? Ride safe.

    Hello Antonio, thanks. Most of my videos do have Italian subtitles. There are some that do not and the reason is that Googles auto subtitle functionality is not working. So I have to type the subtitles by hand and this takes some time. Grazzie and Ciao :)

    Hey Doctor! Thanks for the useful video: do you have any specification to share about the grease you're using on the calipers? Is it a molybdenum grease maybe?

    I dont. I simply think that I m giving free info to people and you are simply giving free criticism. Dont watch or better yet if you have a better method make the video yourself and help people in a better way. Put your money where your mouth is. Talk is cheap and easy but actions....., well they are not for everybody right? Its easier just to talk

    @@DrVstrom Chill out - You publish on KZread with the comments option ON. It is not about talking and criticising - turn off comments if you are so sensitive. You are a grown man - you should be more resistant to accept different opinions than only sending you compliments. Your video has a strong and clear message but is covered with too much unnecessary information. It is my personal opinion. If you don't want to see this - delete my comment and block my account.

What do you notice in this paragraph of yours? Its mostly, "do this", "do that", "you are this", "you are that". If you paid me for a service then yes you could give me feedback in this way. The way you did it is too much for someone who for 12 years does this out of good will with nothing in return. Maybe you did not understand. This channel tries to help. To do so it must try to cover all audiences and the ones that need the most info are the ones who need step by step instructions and yes, this sometimes is long. If I would follow your advice, someone else would come and say the opposite. "Hey Doc why you dont put some more detail?" You see where I am going? Only in this 2nd case people would also loose vital info because they are not so technical as others. Do you also know how much time it takes for one video? You are free to have a personal opinion as well as to not watch. I am not going to change this style so if it is something which is a show stopper please look elsewhere for better content. It is so simple.
