@riggard1988 Better to spray the dust off with Brakleen or a similar solution. It wets any asbestos dust that may be there on old pads, and makes it able to be wiped up with a rag instead of inhaled. But as Steve said, no brake pads have asbestos unless they're really old pads. It's been years since brake pads have used asbestos.

See on my hornet 600, ive only got 2 pistons on each front caliper, but im safely assuming the pistons are screwed haha.. Currently saving the cash to buy new pistons and seals to replace them all

Hi, Can you change pads without removing the caliper body? i.e. keeping caliper on wheel just remove the pad pin and spring, hit it with brake cleaner, jamp your thumb in and push back the pistons and insert new pads??

dust smust, breath the fresh outside air and wash your bike first.

@SuperSneakySteve Doesn't matter the break pad dust is still very bad for your lungs. Most of the break dust is to small of a micron for your lungs to cough it out

@mattisGST Sure, you can start it, but you won't be able to stop! So don't go anywhere.

nice vid!
just one piece of advice, my gs500 manual says you should NOT blow the dust of, because it could contain asbestos. don't know if thats the case with your bike, but better be safe than sorry.

That's a good practice, but they haven't made pads with asbestos for many years.

The stuff I used was locktite. It had red stuff on it from the factory but blue will be easier to take it off next time.
