Installation Steps:

1. Prepare Your Motorcycle:

   • Place the motorcycle on a flat surface and use a center stand or paddock stand to keep it secure.

2. Remove the Wheel:

   • If necessary, remove the front wheel to gain access to the brake caliper. Use the socket wrench to loosen and remove the axle nut and bolts.

3. Remove the Brake Caliper:

   • Use the socket wrench to remove the bolts holding the brake caliper in place. Carefully lift the caliper off the rotor.

4. Remove Old Brake Pads:

   • Take out the old brake pads from the caliper. Make note of their orientation for reference during installation.

5. Compress the Caliper Piston:

   • Use a piston tool or C-clamp to compress the caliper piston back into its housing to allow space for the new brake pads.

6. Install New Brake Pads:

   • Place the new brake pads into the caliper, ensuring they are correctly oriented and securely seated.

7. Reattach the Brake Caliper:

   • Carefully position the caliper back onto the rotor and secure it with the caliper bolts. Use a torque wrench to tighten to the manufacturer’s specifications.

8. Reinstall the Wheel:

   • If you removed the front wheel, reposition it and tighten the axle nut and bolts securely.

9. Final Checks:

   • Before riding, pump the brake lever a few times to ensure proper pad alignment and brake response. Check for any unusual noises or movements.

10. Test Ride:

• Take a short test ride to confirm that the brakes are functioning properly.

Congratulations, your new front brake pads are now installed! Enjoy a smoother and safer ride. If you have any questions during the installation, refer to your motorcycle’s service manual for additional guidance.
