Model: Bmw R1200gs
Part: Brake pads

Today's instructions will show you how to remove and replace the front brake pads on a BMW R1200 GS motorcycle. First, place your motorcycle on a stand and start unscrewing the fixing bolts of the front brake caliper to remove it from the disc. Then, apply pressure to the caliper piston to retract it, allowing you to remove the old brake pads as shown in the video. At this point, clean the caliper of any residual dirt, and install the new original brake pads. Finally, refit the brake caliper onto the disc, securing it properly.
