Replacing Brake Pads on a Moto Guzzi California

Model: Moto Guzzi California 1400
Part: Brake pads

Video tutorial

Lift the rear of the motorcycle onto a stand to replace the rear pads. Remove the pin clip from the caliper pin (if you can't do it by hand, use pliers) and then remove the pin itself (the video shows using a nail and a hammer to push it out). Most of the work is already done! Yes, because having removed the pin, the caliper will no longer be tight on the pads, allowing you to easily pull them out by hand.

Obviously, the new pads will be thicker, so you will need to spread the pistons by inserting any tool that can leverage them.

How to Replace the Stator on the Triumph Daytona 675?

To replace the stator on the Triumph Daytona 675, loosen the screws that secure the cover located on the left side of the bike: once these screws have been removed, detach the cover and access the underlying stator. The stator can be removed from its housing by unscrewing the central screws that secure it: this way, you can insert a new stator into its housing, re-inserting the side starter motor. Once these components have been reinserted, close everything with the cover.
