Hi guys.
So.. I've read the other posts about front pad replacement. My questions are:
Do I need to bleed every time I change pads?
Is there any video similar with NTV brakes that someone found and that is helpful?
Since my discs are in the limit should I buy pads with more inches?
( I know.. I should buy discs... can't atm!)
Lever is really hard now so I belive they are on the limit and brake oil is also on the limit. But when I push cylinders inside , oil will go up off course right?
It's my first try changing discs so any tips are welcome!!
Thanks!!

by pure chance, i just did did my pads (front and rear) this morning, firstly you should always bleed the brakes afterwards just to make sure, it may not need it if your carefull, but you are alway best off making sure, i have the haynes manual, and surprisingly the description of what to do is spot on for the ntv, sometimes the manuals get a bit woolly but i found it told me everything i needed to know, (although im pretty awesome without it  ) the pad thickness will be about the same for every make so i dont think you will have any luck trying to alter that, best looking for a second hand good condition disc if its that bad and you cant afford a new one regards ben |

See link below: wbieniec.kis.p.lodz.pl/moto/ntv/manual/7.pdfYou can also buy brake pads at Wemoto. I prefer EBC sintered pads type HH...  www.wemoto.com/bikes/Honda/NTV_650_S_T_Revere/95-96/ |

Hello again! So thanks for the opinions and ideas and I will now get pads and try once without bleed. Wemoto is a good website just don't see the difference between HH and GG. And still waiting for how much they charge to Portugal. Always nice to have this website around! |
