Just changed my front and back brake pads using EBC Double H Sintered. At 5900 miles there was minimal wear in the back and more than 1/2 gone in the front. I went for a long ride. There is noticeable change in braking power. I had to adjust.
It was simpler than I thought. Didn't open up the brake fluid reservoirs as some suggested. I loosened removed reatining brake line clip then loosed the pins took out the bolts removed caliper from rotor, removed pins and the old pads fell out. I cleaned the pins and checked the anti-vibration springs to be in place. Make sure you wipe a dab of high temp brake grease on the pins before putting them back (dont put the grease on brakes). I didnt have any so I used ball bearing packing grease borrowed from a local mechanic. I also sprayed computer cleaning air to get any gunk out. Make sure springs are still in place and nothing falls in the cylinders. Put the pins and new brakes in.
Before putting the caliper back over the rotors open the brakes up by inserting a flat screw driver and gently pushing up or down to open them up. After putting them on, tighten everything in reverse order. Pump the brake a few times before you move your bike and go slow for the test.
