I could come over on Thursday/Friday evening and give you a hand if you want
to do it yourself - or you can come down to Sussex.
Pads usually come on their own - Vesra green replacements can be ordered
anywhere - about �24 last time. Old shims and springs should normally be
reuseable. Only pain is having to remove caliper and hang it vertically for
bleeding - an old coathanger usually works well for me.

Subject: Brake pads no long thread I hope !
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,
David
