#97838 thebru (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 731 Replace Rear Brake Pads 1 Year, 4 Months ago   It's time to replace the rear brake pads. Couple questions. Are the rear the same as the front? Know of a good place to get them? Any other info is always good.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #97840 Greysnake (User) Happiness is riding my Road* on a long trip Platinum Boarder Posts: 3864 Re:Replace Rear Brake Pads 1 Year, 4 Months ago   bru,they come out the same as the front. just have a plastic cover to remove,and the pipes. I got mine at my dealer,by the time I would buy online and ship the dealer was the same cost and I got them right then.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #97841 TOPNOTCH (User) Git-R-Done Expert Boarder Posts: 548 Re:Replace Rear Brake Pads 1 Year, 4 Months ago   They are much differnt then the front. I got the EBC replacement pads out here in Cal. at a place called Cycle Parts West for $19.99 plus tax. The EBC are priced lower then the Yami ones (Sumoto) and last much longer. The Yami dealers sell the EBC's but do not advertise it as they naturally want you to buy the high price OEM.   Logged     Christian American Heterosexual Pro-Gun Conservative...Any Questions???

Thanks for the info. Hope someone local has them. Don't want to get into the rotor. Might not have to mess with the pipes, they are quite low. Does the caliper have to come off or can they be slipped in after the pins are spread?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #97860 Greysnake (User) Happiness is riding my Road* on a long trip Platinum Boarder Posts: 3864 Re:Replace Rear Brake Pads 1 Year, 4 Months ago   The caliper can stay on. Just watch the level in the master cylinder when pushing the pistons back in. Your right your pipe looks like it's lower and will save some time. Bru I guess I should have been alittle clearer The front and rear pads are replaced the same way,just different look. The part # for the rear is ya-4wm-w0046-00. The front is ya-5vn-w0045-00. anyway sorry if I misled you.

Thanks.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #97884 thebru (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 731 Re:Replace Rear Brake Pads 1 Year, 4 Months ago   OK, one last question. Logic tells me the pads should be the same for the Road Star, R* Silverado, R* Silverado Midnight, etc... Maybe different for different years. Sound right???   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #97885 road burner (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 80 Re:Replace Rear Brake Pads 1 Year, 4 Months ago   Hey bru, I don't mean to thread-jack, but was just curious about your carb settings. I just moved back to Longmont 2 weeks ago and think I'm close, but you know how some of us like to tinker! Thanks in advance for any help.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #97887 Greysnake (User) Happiness is riding my Road* on a long trip Platinum Boarder Posts: 3864 Re:Replace Rear Brake Pads 1 Year, 4 Months ago   The one's I put on mine were the same pads used on all,but the proceedure is different on the1999-2003. the 2004-on is the same. according to the manual. Hope that helps.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #97891 thebru (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 731 Re:Replace Rear Brake Pads 1 Year, 4 Months ago   Thanks Greysnake. RoadBurner, I bought mine here so I believe it was set up for altitude. However, I just rode through Death Valley, parts were 100' below sea level and she ran great.. Basically. I don't know what the carb settings are. Runs great so I don't mess with it. On another note, The DAV run is this Saturday, July 5th. Starts at High Country HD. Some friends and I are gonna meet there at about 10:00.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
