Yamaha Star 650 Front Brake Pad Replacement and Caliper Maintenance 

Give this guy his own show! I’ve been riding about 4 years (5 this season) and have had a few different bikes , I have turned to RU-vid thousands of times and found some great info and videos, but this style, attention to detail, camera work and tips is by far the best I’ve seen yet! 2001 Yamaha star 650 classic , 7,231 miles. Riding from New York to Central Florida in a few days but making a stop to ride tail of the dragon on way down and want to replace brake pads before all the twisties , thanks brother for the amazing video. Rubber side down riders!😎

What an amazingly put together well recorded and informative video

I bought an 04 vstar 650 classic last year, and have watched every one of your maintenance videos. You basically turned me into a motorcycle mechanic. Sincerely, I Thank You. Please keep them coming. I'm a subscriber for life. And the electronics projects are right up my alley as well. Went to school for elec tech. ended up in IT. Very hands-on, and love to do my own work. All around I like your content. Well done, sir.

your vids are priceless! thank u so much for carburator vids.

best i have seen yet

You do an excellent jog illustrating, I have an 03 V-Star 650 classic and a 1982 XJ750J which you also do videos on, hope you’ll do more on both bikes.

Honestly pal I’m not being critical but the transition at

Excelente thanks for that.

Thanks from France ! I was look for which type of brake pads to use on my 2000 one (they didn't like my summer 3500 km trip, I assume they were as old as the bike, 23y...). Now I can exclude ceramic/organics pads, thanks !

What spray were you using for cleaner? Great video

Quick question, did you bleed the system after all was said and done?

Are the brake pads item # FA179HH?

I have a 02 650 and I think the caliper is seized I’m not familiar with maintenance on motorcycles so will this help the caliper work again?

I wonder if it is the same in the XV 535 Virago

Someone suggested that you should add more flair to your videos. Respectfully, Don't! They're fine just the way they are. Thank you.
