Good question! When the calipers are new and everything is in good condition, it's easy to push on the caliper to press those pistons in. Down the road, it might not be as easy to push, so you can unbolt the caliper, remove the pads, and use the c-clamp to press the pistons in. However, if the c-clamp doesn't push the pistons in easy, then it's time for a caliper rebuild. Thanks for bringing that up, I forgot to mention it. -Charles
the owners book says not to prop a tenere up by its bash guard.....it can bend the 4 small screws that hold it on, did you miss that? its not a dirt bike. ive repiared so many because of this....... if you dont mention how to hold the bike while doing it...its pointless :)
This vid is done so well! Impressive camera angles. Thank you!
Good clear video.
Thanks for the details.
Appreciate the info! Thanks!!
great video, thanks a lot!
Great video, thanks, I am about to replace my brake pads on my T7
Thank you very much.
It would be cool if you did a front Caliper rebuild. I understand you have done a rear Caliper rebuild but a front would be nice :)
Awesome
How developing disc guards for the tenere 700?
Yamaha forever
Do 2020 Honda crf 125
You don't want to be pushing against the disc it will bend and vibrate

Organic or sinterized brake pads?
We installed sintered metal brake pads on this motorcycle.
Am I the only one that doesn't feel comfortable about the brake cleaner on the piston and seals ?
Not only you. Break cleaner it's not good at all for piston seals.
