Hmm... maybe I was drunk when I read my manual... could have been... either way my method is WAY easier... Pulling off the whole caliper makes putting those pads in a snap.

Yeah I wanted to pull the caliper...but I don't have a front stand. I wanted to clean the pistons....so I got them the best I could with it on. I changed pads exactly to manual specs. Took about 45 minutes...but about 15 of that was searching for a tool to push the pistons back in.

Every Buell owner should have one.

Yeah for sure. I'd rather have a front stand tho.

Until you want to drop the engine to ceramic coat the headers or to change the spark plugs with minimal cursing... Just don't fuck up your wires putting it back up in it...

Can plugs be changed with engine still in frame?
