Rear brake pad replacement on a Suzuki GSXR750

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The work continues on Tool Girl Sarah's 1999 Suzuki GSXR750, the rear disc has just been replaced as it had worn too thin, now it's time to fit those new rear brake pads.
Included in the video are all the required torque settings plus a few hints & tips along the way. This procedure would apply to most fixed rear motorcycle calipers.
Hoping to get Sarah's bike through Compliance in the next few days so she can begin her adventure around New Zealand.

    There are a lot of pins, springs, etc to reduce brake squeal. I always got my bike back and never saw any copper slip on the back of my brake pads when they fitted new ones. They never squealed at all. If anything, the only brakes that squeal were my rear drums. How about experimenting by trying none and of course clean and lubricate any sliding pins. I'm always listening to updates and improvements and willing to pass them on if I see them as very good advice.

    The springs should be installed against the inside face of the pad. (See manual)

    Hi Andy, I just recognized that you mixed up the inner and the outer shim on the brake. Check the pictures of the original Suzuki parts:59371-20C00: Rear brake caliper inner shim59381-20C00: Rear brake caliper outer shim

    Damn.....well spotted. What would I do without you guys watching my back! I'll swap them around once the bike returns from Certification. Cheers Andy

    Hey Andy, I have a question I hope you can help answer. I have a 2002 GSXR 750, replaced the rear brake pads but feel spongy on the rear brake pedal. Feels like it bottoms out when I apply rear brake. Springs right back up after release but don't recall the pedal going so far down before. Any advice? By the way, Thank you for all the great videos. Helped me do alot of work on my bike.

    Those pins just love seizing in the body of the caliper on these, should also have a plastic cover on the caliper, not one of Suzukis finest moments!

    I noticed the shims were asymmetric. Do the shims go on the leading or trailing side?

    What kind/brand paste do you use for those brake pads?

    Great vids Andy - Toolgirls make it more interesting too... There's a massive KZread debate between Delboys Garage and The Workshop channels about copper grease on back of pads. It appears that the 'no copper grease' option is winning as it's NOT required on modern bike pads (as recommended by EBC, Brembo etc...) What do you honestly think Sir?

    It's a tough call. However, I believe it is required on 70's to to 90's cars for sure. We had a Nissan dealership and every Mechanic would do as I now do. It may be different on newer cars but the vehicle Manufacturers should be able to clarify if it's needed or not. I also think the working environment has some influence on if it should be used so the same car may require copper paste in only some areas of the World - that just adds to the confusion! Thanks for involving me in the debate. Cheers Andy
