Front & Rear brake pad change - KAT550 - 13-08-2015
Hi could someone tell me if it's easy to do a pad change on a 2008 Busa? Or should I leave it for the mechanics? Cheers

If you are mechanically minded it is a relatively easy job and the right tools makes it more so. If you want to have a go here is a link to my 08 workshop manual that will step you through the process.
BTW... how long since brake fluid was changed, supposed to be done every 2 years!

Thanks very much Batfink that will help a lot. its probably been a couple of years since I've changed the brake fluid so i better do that as well.

As stated not hard at all...do the clutch fluid while you are at it....I just loosen the LH fairing rather than take it off and jam a small block of wood in there to keep it clear of the slave cylinder nipple.....ditto for the rear brake res. Also to collect any errant drips I wrap a rag around the res and tape it into position.
