Changing the front pads is very easy! OEM pads are very expensive and I
choose to go with EBC pads instead. I've been very happy with them for a
couple years now. I know that the EBC pads do NOT come with new shims. I
simply re-used the originals. Not a problem. I sprayed an anti-squeal
adhesive on the back of the pads before applying the original shim.

Hi,
Since my local Yamaha dealer in Aylesbury can't see me for 6 weeks, I'm
looking to do the essential basics myself.
Now don't laugh, I'm quite happy bashing away at vehicles with 4 wheels,
but
if anything drops of my car I can just roll to the side of the road.
However, if anything drops of my bike I'll just roll into life-support.
Questions.
If I order new brake pads for the front calliper, will they come with new
shims and the support pad spring as shown on the GTS fiche that I have, or
will I need to order these separately?
Does anyone know another Yamaha Agent in the Oxfordshire area that.
a) Can see me before July the 13th (yes that's a Friday).
b) Will have seen a GTS before (I'd ask if they'd been trained to service
it
but most likely they would laugh).
Regards,
