GV250 How To: Change The Brake Pads

What you will need:

• 12MM Wrench
• #2 Phillips Head Screwdriver
• 5MM Allen Wrench
• Replacement Pads
  • Hyosung: 59301HG5100
  • DP # DP111
  • EBC # FA86
  • Honda # 45105-KR3-405 *
• C-Clamp - might need, might not

* These are what I used.

First remove the caliper from the forks using a 12MM wrench. These are going to be very tight so be careful. The bigger the wrench the better.



Slide the caliper towards the back of the bike and separate from the retainer plate.



Using a #2 Phillips head screwdriver, remove the two set screws. Be careful, they are tight and you don't want to strip them.



Using a 5MM Allen wrench, back out the pad pins that are under the set screws.



Remove the brake pads. Note the spring. When inserting the new pads you will have to push down to compress the spring so you can run the pins through.



Here's how it should look with the new pads in place.



Reverse the the steps to re-install the caliper (insert Allen pins, insert set screws, put caliper back on retainer plate, put caliper on wheel, bolt to fork) and your done.

EDIT: Don't forget to pump your brake lever several times after changing the pads. Because the caliper was depressed, you will have no brakes for the first couple of pulls until the caliper is back in position.

Did you notice the new Honda part number?

I used the Honda pads. I paid $36.00 for them because I needed them and I couldn't find the EBC or DP pads anywhere close. Don't make this mistake. When you need pads, you really need them NOW. Get them ahead of time and save yourself some money.

If you want to save some money, Richard Jordan offers brake pads for $8.00 U.S.  (Box of 10 prs $75).

That said, I must say the Honda pads grab like nobodies business. It's amazing the difference in braking.

just done mine, Pistons were stuck out quite a way and would not budge, I sprayed some penetrating oil on them and eventully after an hour or two managed to push them both in by using a piece of wood about 1" x 1/2 " by about 2 foot long, standing it upright I put the caliper on top and by pushing down with my weight managed to get the pistons in eventually, One wenty in ok but one was very stuck and took repeated tries ,my friend said if I had took the top off the master cylinder it would have gone in easier as it would relieve the pressure I did not know this, anyway hope this helps someone else, I did not have a suitable c clamp to hand only a dodgy plastic one. brakes all seem ok now after I took it for a test run. catch you later ...paul

chopperfoto wrote "I sprayed some penetrating oil on them " Brake calipers should never have any kind of oil based lube sprayed on them -- it will lead to swelling of the rubber seals which might cause the brakes to apply and not release.
