Ok I give up. Hopefully someone will be able to search and find this later: Change Brake Pads ZTL2 1125r Front pad change 1125cr brake pad change Searched for about 45 minutes in the KV, here and XB. What's the deal with getting the insided pads out? Who has the best prices on a FSM? Feel kinda silly. Totally rebuilt the S1 from the ground up and can't change brakes. Flame on |

Avalaugh, are you serious? Remove the wheel to get to the pads? On every bike with standard-style calipers and rotors, the calipers need to come off for the wheel to come off, not vice versa. |

I've always loosened the pin hangers and then pulled the wheel to do a pad change. You have to drop the wheel to get the caliper free. In my experience, you have to remove the caliper mounting bolts, then drop the wheel with caliper on rotor, roll wheel into oil cooler, and then you can wiggle the caliper off. |

Also look at the back side of the caliper. Notice that there are two grooves there? They line up with the spokes on the wheel. Tape the wheel to prevent scratching the paint, remove the wheel, pull the caliper off, remove the pads, put in new, etc. |
