DIY front brake pads

[Sl8R]

Changing the front brake pads on the s1000rr is easy

tools needed
13mm socket
torque wrench to 28 ft-lbs or 38 Nm

I am changing to the Carbone Lorraine c55 front brake pads
(need four boxes, two pads in each box)





1st need to loosen the front caliper bolts



once you have the caliper off you need to take the pads out by pushing in the metal bracket and pulling out the pin which can be done by hand









once you have all the pins out put in your new pads in and bracket and push the pin threw



once you have you pads in, install the caliper and tighten the bolts to 28 ft-lbs or 38 Nm

and enjoy your better brakes

Just got back from the track today and wow those brake pads made a nice improvement over stock, which is also very good,
but when you pair these with 19rcs brembo master cylinder its a dream, kept finding myself brake later and later

Thanks Sl8R
