Brake Pads? 2 Years, 3 Months ago
|
|
|
How much do they cost? Checked mine today and they are in need of a new set, especially on the front.
Where is the cheapest place to purchase?
How difficult are they to replace?
Do you have to remove the exhaust to replace the rear ones?
Do you have to replace the master cylinder fluid with each brake pad replacement?

yamahasportsplaza.com $29.42/each side for the front $31.36 for the back. Check ebay you might be able to find a deal.
I haven't changed brakes on the Road Star yet, but have done many other bikes in the past they aren't difficult to change.
It's not a bad idea to change brake fluid (just bleed new fluid through the system til its clean).You don't have to change the brake fluid though.
From just looking at my bike, I'd say you should be able to do the rear without removing the exhaust.

Speakin' of brakes, When I grab the front brake on mine at low speed, it sounds almost like metal to metal.  Plenty of material on the pads and the rotors look fine, any of you experience this?  |

Just my 2 cents..I'm in the auto parts bizz and I have a hard time understanding cheap brakes, tires or oil and filter....Not to be rude, but I see the diff firsthand and have to deal with warranty and such..
I'm very price sensitive when it come to my car but my bike only has 2 tires and I have been stranded before..
Just my 2 cents, Sorry if I offend anyone.  |
