Model: Yamaha R1
Part: Brake pads

Need to replace the rear pads on your Yamaha? You’re in the right place; we’ll do it together quickly. Purchase the compatible replacement online or from a dealer. Pay attention to the type of compound you need. Track: for good braking even when the braking system is pushed to the limit; road: provide safe braking even when cold, but if pushed to the limit, they increase stopping distance. Remove the rear caliper by taking off the two bolts. Slide out the pad pin to release them. Retract the caliper piston without ever opening the brake fluid reservoir. Insert the new parts and refit everything.
