Hello Lee, enjoy it 👍

Well, I have not had a need to work on the pads on mine yet but have changed pads dozens of times on many vehicles and bikes over the years and that’s what I would expect, a sharp pull to withdraw it. Perhaps someone else can confirm that. Can’t see why it would be more complicated.

Yep. If the thread is fully unwound it’s just resistance you are feeling, they are necessarily a tight fit.

Long nosed pliers 👍

Not sure if you have the same system as us here in the UK. 2500 grade here is very fine, barely felt between finger and thumb, I found the discs to be a lot softer metal than I expected tbh and dealt with my issue no bother. By a pack of papers (with a range of grades) because they are really...

Looks like you’ve got similar oily stains on the lower front of the cover (splatters). It’s in a strange position though high up on the side and has no obvious source, I’d consider road debris or external contamination as a prime contender. You’ve obviously got a photo. I’d thoroughly wash that...

It’s gonna age well, it’s gorgeous.

Thanks mate. I have since wondered if a stone had flicked up and through sheer happenstance bounced about underneath then hit the disc from the side and what i was feeling was the pinhole witness mark? Who knows. Every day is a day to learn 👍

I would say not. That mileage is nothing really. If it was me I’d clean it all up, put new pads in, spin the wheel and listen for any noticeable dragging or catching and as I said earlier if necessary just dress the discs with some very fine wet n dry. Take it out for a spin round the block...

Without hearing the noise it’s very difficult but this may be of some use. I always store my bike upright in a front chock and use a scissor jack under the rear subframe to raise the rear wheel off the floor. The other day I was cleaning it after a ride and when spinning the rear wheel heard a...

I’d put new pads in. With the rear wheel off the floor (however you do it), wipe down that disc, spin it and feel with your other hand and finger tips for any obvious nicks, use some fine wet n dry (say 2000 or 2500 grade) and dress them down. Looks like 95% of that disc is serviceable. Don’t...

Gorgeous 👌

Under your text box will be an “📎 Attach files”, click on that to open up another window which allows you to select a picture from your device. I’m really not into tech but did suss it out and it soon becomes second nature. One thing could be your picture size, could be too large, too many...

Not sure. As Anibal says, dig out your manual and failing that ask your dealer see what they say.

Lovely bike Pierre, enjoy it 👍

Nice 👌

Morning. Well that’s a huge leap from one end of the spectrum to the other! Question I’d pose is what attracts you to the bike and what do you want from it? If you like the looks and can accept a completely different ride experience (more Zen than zing) then you may love it. We have owners all...

Not a fan myself, they make the bike rear end look very wide and bulky, with the air gap (let’s call it) the rear looks sleek and elegant (to me anyway).

Lovely colour 👌

Post a picture when you get it, always nice to see another one out in the wild 👍
