And also you have mentioned that the whole disk assembly should not be taken ? Now the question for me to you bro is .. Why and how would I take Disk assembly ? I mean why would I do that with just one pin and one screw or am i missing something of what you said ? Please advise Bro .. Thanks !

Ok I will tell my case here

. I had a defect with the rear tyre as there was no continental direct dealers in my home town i took the bike to MRF SVC. They told me to take the rear wheel of the bike, as our bikes don't have center stand they used some type of jack and somehow removed the rear wheel. After all the process they carefully fitted the wheel but it got stuck(only very lil movement). Somehow took the bike to near by workshop and the mechanic told me they have accidently pressed the rear brake pedal as the air got inside. But I am confident its not done, coz I was standing there. Mechanic told me this is only way air gets inside the tube if the assembly is open. I don't know what happened in my case, anyways I just meant be cautious when removing the disc assembly. May be am wrong. DIY experts here will guide you further

Not really; they might tell you to show how complex the work is & try to push the work; hope you got what I intent to say.

Errr...aaarrrgghhh...what's this engine number confusions guys? MC41 is sold outside India, MC42 in India. If there's another engine number (which is very rare) starts like MC43/44, then it means the engine has undergone some change.

It is an easy job, but may become little difficult if you have not done it before. You should take out the caliper set by removing the bolt(s) attaching caliper to the swingarm.(YOU SHOULD NEVER DEPRESS THE BRAKE LEVER when the caliper unit is not fitted). Take a look into the caliper unit to understand how the pads are fitted there. Then pullout the PIN holding the brake pads( you need allen key). Remove the old pads. There you can see Piston(s)[cylinder like thing]. Push the piston(s) with your thumbs or a tool. It should fully depressed back to accomodate fresh pads otherwise you can't fit the caliper back into the Disc Rotor. Put the new pads, then put back the PIN(S). Fit the caliper unit into the swingarm. Press the brake lever several times to build some pressure, until you get the braking feelings as before. If you feel it is weak you should check the fluid, if it has air bubbles you should bleed it. If you hear scraping sound from the disc even after some kms ride, you should take out the pads and scraping it lightly on a sandpaper then put it back.

Thanks a ton mate

Will buy the bike from Uday Honda (nearest to my place) and will get the service done in Malwa Honda's ASC.

I bought my Unicorn from Malwa Honda in 2005 and have generally found their service to be decent.

Caution - Do it with the presence of a mechanic & have a paddock; the STD seems to have some complication (atleast that's what the ASC told me) in pushing back the pistons back to original position & hence the wheel might be required to be removed.

Update - Got my bike back from service; asked to change almost everything that sounded wear & tear; but alas to my dismay...
- Brake pads were good
- SHIMs didn't require any replacement (which means, its going 16K+ kms & strong); amazing to hear a 4joke engine that almost doesn't need a valve clearance checking

- Steering is bit tight, but I'll have to check for next 400-500 more Kms before concluding anything
- All the noisy huge vibrations are arrested
- Damn HMSI is not replacing my greyish white panels under warranty though

PS - Pls don't ask me for price breakup or replace part for now as I'm yet to get the detailed bill due to printer breakdown.

nopes pistons can be pressed easily wid help of screwdriver.
i know this because last time i bought 220 rear disk pads and went to local mach and he opened disk pads in just 10 min but i have got wrong set of disk pads then saw the cbr's rear pads and they have some more life left in them last time checked them on 3500 km and after 3 months its only 3900 km so no need to replace them so earlier but i thing my braking habit will not cross 4500km wid stock disk pads

The person who told me is from ASC. May be he threatened may be truth. If you're confident, can you try doing it yourself & let us know pls?

I'm not experienced anything related to tires; however, I might most probably settle in for PSD. This should be somewhere during Mar/Apr 2012. I'll keep posted my experience once I did. Anyway, stock lasted about 16K on ODO.

I gave my bike for replacing many parts and the rattling sound from the front fairings in Saphire Honda Bglr from the feedback of Sudeep and Ajay. Its the best SVC I ever done the service in my life time. It costed me around 2815Rs/-. But they job was done pretty well

You didn't replaced the SHIMS yet... 16K is too good. I changed the SHIMS at 7K

The only thing which I am skeptical about is the disc pads. The first set was replaced at 7K and now the bike is around 10.5K, the front pads are done

. 3.5K life for the pads is too much for the asking and it cost 720Rs/- too. I can't understand why is this poor life, may be many say the quality is too good like ceramic, blah blah... I never find the braking so extra ordinary also

.

**aargee** · 03-10-2012, 07:41 PM

^^^ Binoy, my first set was replaced at 10.8K; its 16K now, though I insisted changing, ASC refused saying, the pads are fine; I guess it all depends on how much we brake & also what part of time we ride etc; Eg, I hate braking & shifting gears & I ride accordingly & half my distance to office is on NH & SH & very less city + non peak hours. So probably that's the reason it lasts long for me. Probably if I used like you during peak hours, it might last the same for me too.

How about everyone else? How much has your second brake pads lasted?

Well one month back my mechanic got the rear pad changed of my cbr250 and installed 220 ones, he had to remove the rear tyre to install it, but i would still believe that there must be some trick to remove the caliper without removing the tyres which our local mechanic doesnt know that well. If u say your mechanic removed it without removing the tyres then he must be knowing it. And about the piston, yes it can be easily pressed in coz i have seen my mechanic doing it with ease

so cheers
