Installation Steps:

Prepare the Workspace: Ensure you have a clean, well-lit work area. Gather all necessary tools and materials.

Remove the Brake Caliper: Locate the caliper mounting bolts and remove them with the socket set. Gently slide the caliper off the brake rotor.

Reinstall the Brake Caliper: Slide the caliper back onto the rotor and secure it with the mounting bolts. Tighten them to the manufacturer's torque specifications using the torque wrench.

Test the Brakes: Before riding, pump the brake lever a few times to ensure proper engagement and check for any abnormal noises.
Final Note: Always consult your motorcycle’s service manual for specific installation guidance related to your model. If you have any doubts or feel uncomfortable with the installation process, consider seeking assistance from a professional mechanic.
