Gave them a bit of a greasing this morning and they are deffo moving a fair bit more easily, so i'm happy on that side of it. Don't actually have a wheel to fit until tonight as the wife is using the car LOL. Will do that tonight and report back. Fingers crossed.

Nice advice lads. One of the MT asked a while ago in a thread 'what makes the DSC great ' ? - well here is a prime example. Wouldnt it be great if we could archive info like this into a 'how to' section for newbies..?? A kind of 'virtual' haynes book of lies...

Goodness - sometimes this board makes me cringe!!!!

I am not having a go, so please no flames, but there are things we are capable of and things we are not.

Clearly Steve (no offence meant) you are NOT capable of sorting THE most crucial part of your bike so let someone who is do it for you. Copperslip - please - if you have to ask - you havent got a clue!!!

Front brakes SHOULD NOT be screwed with, get them sorted properly, so dont be stupid, dont be tight, dont be dilluded, send em back to Brembo (GPR) and let them get them fixed for you.

Why do you think that NO Brembo repair kits are available for our bikes???

No offence, but I do wonder sometimes.

Flippin 'eck Khushy..I know its monday morning but.....



Yes brakes are important..but its not a crime trying to learn..

Im sure Steve knows his limits like we all do..I tackle a few things that im not 100% about..but if im not 100% I just get a mate to check it.

For me, learning how to tackle basic servicing on my bike is all part of the 'ducati experience' (ie; fun), and this forum is one way of improring that 'learning curve'.

Weeksy - forgot to say - I'd recommend loctite for the pistons..oh and dont forget to WD40 the discs once youve finished...

'Cos Brembo realise there's a hell of a lot of money to be made on replacement/reconditioned calipers...?

Don't get me wrong, if you're not up to sorting brakes then it's not something you should be messing with but it's not rocket science..

If I can walk into any Japanese dealer and buy replcement seals/parts for my calipers then why shouldn't I be able to for my Ducati? It's certainly not 'cos Brembo technology is so far in advance of the stuff the Japanese are knocking out.

Perhaps it's a litigation thing, but then the Japanese don't seem to have a problem with that so p'raps money...?
