Changing Brake Pads on Triumph Motorbike

Model: Triumph Bonneville
Part: Brake pads

Video tutorial

For this model of motorbike, aside from the brand, it is recommended to use G1370 FD140 front brake pads (costing around £34). Above the Allen bolt of the brake caliper bracket, there is a metal cover that can be unscrewed with a flat screwdriver. Unscrew the cover and then the small pin underneath, as shown in the video.

Unscrew the two bolts that secure the brake caliper to the disc, and remove it. Extract the old brake pads and insert the new ones, but before doing so, you will need to widen the space for them, as they will obviously be thicker than the old, worn pads.

An Affordable Modification to Solve a Problem on the Yamaha MT07

This video shows how to solve a problem affecting the Yamaha MT07 with a very affordable modification. This bike requires a specific movement of the throttle grip to accelerate, which forces the right wrist into an unnatural twist. You can remedy this by fitting the throttle control from the R6, which reduces the rotation from 90° to 45°; the cost is under £25 even when buying the original part directly from the dealership. As shown, the disassembly and reassembly work is extremely simple; just be careful not to let the throttle guide slip, as it has its seat directly in the cover. You can see the difference in hand position after replacing the grip.
