Author Message   Jjoehler Posted on Monday, May 08, 2006 - 08:46 pm:        Does anyone have experience changing front brake pads on 2003 buell xb9s I would like to know how. I looked at the manual, but I was just wondering if any of you guys ran into any complications, or have any special methods that will make the job easier.   12r Posted on Tuesday, May 09, 2006 - 05:07 am:        It goes pretty much by the book. Cleaning the pistons ensures they retract smoothly, and reduces the likelihood of trashing the seals. Pushing the pistons right back makes it easier to fit the new pads and I always put a smear of copaslip on the back of the pads before they go in. Don't forget the anti-rattle shim   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Tuesday, May 09, 2006 - 07:42 am:        TAPE THE RIM!!!! this is from experience. you WILL scratch them if you don't.
