ChestyUSMC Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Hello everyone, I got new tires for my VFR1200F. Easy enough to re-install. I also replaced the brake pads. After installation and following the manual to the letter, It appears that the upper pad clip, the small one to hold the pads in place is rubbing on the outside edge of the rotor as it moves through the pads and caliper assembly. Both L and R sides are doing this. I've taken both sides apart twice and re-installed the pads. Same issue with the upper pad clip rubbing on the rotor edge. Any suggestions on the cause or remedy. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clip section in contact with the disc is not properly positioned on top of the heel of the pads, seems to be bent and wedged below the heel and definitely not where it should be. See attached.

ChestyUSMC Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 Ok. I will look at the clips for correct location. Hopefully it's just a matter repositioning and holding it in place during installation of pads. Thank you for the assistance. I'll repost once I get back to it tomorrow. Ride safe brothers and sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
