Time for my ?03 650?s very first front brake-pad change. I?d like to get some educated opinions on this.
Is it a job I could probably do myself, or is it one of those things where you just have to take it to the shop to do unless you have a really well stocked garage? I change my own oil, I?ve switched the handlebars myself, and I?ve done some tinkering with the headlight wiring, but I don?t think I could do something like changing a tire (for lack of a center stand and tire balancer).
If it?s something I can do myself: Does anyone remember that webpage that got posted here a few months ago? It was a ?how-to? on all sorts of motorcycle maintenance tasks, with step-by-step pictures. And it was ?narrated? by a little plastic drill sergeant doll. Did anyone save the link to that? Or know of any other how-to guide online to walk me through brake pads?
Thanks for any advice on the matter.
