    Looks like I need to replace my rear brake pads. According to the manual it seems like a 5 minute job and even the rear wheel stays on. Is this in line with your experiences? Thanks.

    if you have the single sided swing arm the wheel must come off.

    More like 30 minutes......Remember the wheel are to keep the bike on the street and the brake is to stop the bike when you need it. Sooooooo take your time and torque all the bolts to the Spec. and test the brake after installation.
    Cheers

    I can confirm that it takes 5 mins (ok, maybe 10) and everything stays in place. Hardest job is pushing the pistons back to get the new pads in.

    Easier said than done, how do you push the pistons back in without damaging the piston?
