Bored today so took the pads out, cleaned them up plus pins and clips. Pushed the pistons out as far as i dare and cleaned with break cleaner and a tooth brush. Now no binding [emoji4]

Still too cold for me to get out on it today even though it was dry

All good oli. I put the original 9x7 numberplate on it and i just cant ride with it on it looks awful. So ive ordered a 7x5. Ive bridged the slick key as the buggers nicked that (fook knows why). The relays arrived from bmw last weds so are now in. Just waiting for 10c and dry

I do that every time I change the pads. Well worthwhile.

Brake Calipers

I clean my brake calipers every time I change brake pads and at the beginning and end of every season.
 
Well I clean my calipers before each trackday and when changing the brake pads. It is very important in my opinion if you want the max of your brakes.
 
Bloody hell J, guardian angels with you that day.

Ps Remember the ?50 you still owe me.
