KTM 1290 - REAR BRAKE PAD CHANGE + CALLIPER CLEAN - WITHOUT REMOVING REAR WHEEL.

  • In this video I show how to remove the rear brake calliper to change the brake pads, without removing the rear wheel as some may not have the equipment to remove the wheel. There is one slightly tricky part where Ideally you need a good G-Clamp or simply get another pair of hands to help. This is the first time i replaced the rear pads on the Surperduke, I learn as I go and get a little better each time. The pads had been done once at 6,500 miles ( I forgot about that change) and were done again at 12,350 miles (19,875km) before needing changing for the second time. So I'm getting around 6,000 miles a set. I Hope this helps, if so feel free to like, comment or subscribe. Cheers O:)

      Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I'm doing my front ones in a couple of months too. Easier job i think, i'll find out. 😀

    I found a Phillips screwdriver and a wooden dowel work well four pin alignment and spring compression would also recommend protecting wheel and chain guard

    • @KevKam
      @KevKam  Před 2 lety +1

      Good advice, masking tape could protect the rear wheel and chain guard. This was the 2nd change but my first attempt at the replacing the rear pads. I’d probably remove the rear wheel next time for easier access, but i wanted to try doing with it in place for those that haven’t the tools to remove the big 60mm nut.

    Ah cool I want to put a bit of copper grease on the back of my pads. They’re so noisey sometimes. But wasn’t sure if I could get it off with the rear wheel still on.
    I really don’t fancy taking the wheel off.

      Thanks. Yes, cant remember, why i didnt do that.
      In place would certainly make it easier to replace the pads and spring clip, but only if your able to remove the rear wheel to get at it, not everyone can. Ill probably remove the wheel next time.👍

    • @KevKam
      @KevKam  Před 5 lety +1

      They feel fine, just like the old ones they stop well 😀
      I find rear brakes need to be 'abused' a little at first to bed them in so they work well.

  • @joshsmith-qi3ph
    @joshsmith-qi3ph Před 3 lety +2

    Is the rear brake on the 1290 just ridiculously bad? There is no way my 05 sv650's brake should feel 10x better, right? The 1290's barely feels like it is stopping me. I have to stomp to the point I'm worried about the brake lever before it locks up and it still hardly feels like it is doing anything.

    • @KevKam
      @KevKam  Před 3 lety +1

      I would say it’s average, comparing it to all the bikes I’ve owned, and i find new rear brake pads need abusing to bed them in. The Sv will be lighter in weight (I’m assuming) but doesn’t come with the SD’s Brembo’s, but shouldn’t feel 10x better than the Duke.
      I use thé rear 30~40% of the time, especially in wet and with a pillion.

      @jenniferleveland582 Před 3 měsíci

      I agree. I’ve had two different KTM 1290 Superduke R. And the rear brake needs bleeding like 1-2 times per season. There seems to be air sneaking in to the brake fluid system. I’ve not experienced this rear brake problem on any other bike I’ve owned.

    Would it have been worth the time to remove the rear wheel to allow easier access to the caliper, especially reinstalling it?

    • @KevKam
      @KevKam  Před 5 lety +1

      Good question, i did consider it but chose not to, laziness maybe. I think removing the plastic chain-guard/hugger would be a simple and effective way to improve accessibility, i think it's only 3 bolts. All learning.

      Extremely easy to replace by simply removing the screw that attaches chain guard to swing arm. No problems getting it on and off.

    Good video. Would it have been easier to remove the rear wheel? I want to do this myself as my rear brake is squeeking but that spring tension is concerning me putting it back.

    • @KevKam
      @KevKam  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks. In hindsight, probably Yes. I think I just wanted to see how it went with the wheel in place, it was my first time on this machine. The spring is strong, so tricky for 1 man to refit but having help would make it fairly simple. I would do it again myself. Have fun. 👍🏼

      @@KevKam I’m back. Since last posts I had KTM investigate rear brake squeak. They told me they took it apart and cleaned it all up. It lasted for a number of miles then returned. If I clean the rear disc I get a similar result. I guess when the cleaner burns off the squeak returns. I’m wondering if I should just change the pads? The bikes probably in the 8000 mile range by now.
      Questions...
      1. What pads did you buy?
      2. What size G clamp would I need to compress that spring? I’m guessing a 4” or a 6”?
      Thanks again.

      @@devonbiker Hi again. Shame the shop couldn't help you'd think they would have had the skills to resolve the issue, being professional etc.
      at 0:16 I have the pic of the pads i used, (I couldn't find my receipt) so zoomed in to reveal the make is Brembo (which would be consistent with my usual choices) and they are carbon ceramic, whatever good that will do, 😊.
      The G clamp I used has an internal clearance of 4" so good guess. I think it could be done without a G clamp if you had another pair of hands. You will also see at 5:31 I had to use a small socket and adhesive pad to make a smaller contact point where I needed the pressure applied.
      Hope that helps.
