Bandit 600n front pads?!

[mudcow007]

when i bought my bike the calipers had no pads in - so i have nothing to work from...

when im fitting pads do i need clips, backing plates or anything?

also the front of the pads has a square notch that im guesing must locate in the caliper somehow, can anyone explain how it stays in place in the caliper

cheers all

The tab on the pad fits into the notch in the caliper, and a pin fits through the hole in the other end of the pad to secure it.

I was struggling with one side (will come back to that)

when i tried the right had side the pads went in a treat, located the front tab an screwed the pin in, jobs a good

the left side (from sitting on the bike) is a no go...

the pad seems to be sticking out too much, but its hard up against the caliper - if that makes sense?

any ideas?!

My calipers are like that. You have to push the two parts of the caliper on the pins to make the step appear that the pads sit on. It'll be obvious when you start moving the caliper on the pins what I'm on about.

Take the pad out and pull that bit in the middle until it pops the rubbers off. Underneath you'll find two pins that your red arrows are pointing at. They will need cleaning and greasing.

cheers boys n girls

well found out it was the left hand side caliper that is dragging

popped the pistons out, an they were pretty clean - after that i gave up (i ran outta brake cleaner)

hopefully going to attack the pesky caliper tonight

can you reuse the seals? i will clean them first an check condition etc

[Pete.]

Yeah you can re-use the seals if your budget doesn't stretch to new ones. I have done it many times.
