LYNDALL Motorcycle Brake Pad Installation
Brake Pad Install
- Remove your brake caliper, then turn the caliper over so you can see the caliper pistons. Actuate the master cylinder until the caliper pistons are fully extended. Gently clean them with an aerosol brake cleaner, removing unwanted dust and debris. Gently pry the old pads apart, pushing the pistons back into their bore. Repeat this process until all the pistons are clean and extend at the same rate under hydraulic pressure.
- Once the pistons are cleaned and the caliper pistons are all the way into their bore. Remove the old pads and inspect the brake pad mounting pin(s) and any hardware for excessive wear.
- Installing your new Lyndall brake pads, make sure to apply a thin film of anti-seize to the brake pad mounting pin/bolt and appropriate hardware. secure the pads in the cleaned caliper.
- Do not install your caliper mounting bolts yet. Hold the caliper over the rotor by hand at a point lower than the mounting points for the brake caliper and actuate the master until the brake pads firmly clamp onto the disc. Release the pressure off of the master cylinder and gently slide/rotate the caliper up to the mounting points. Make sure there are no gaps or abutment issues present so that the caliper aligns perfectly with the rotor and mounting points. This will ensure the wheel and rotor are properly spaced. Install your caliper mounting bolts. Use your service manual for proper torque specs.

Breaking in your Lyndall brake pads
When using Lyndall brake pads, be sure to give your bike a handful of hard stops from 20mph to 0mph without locking up the brakes. This will allow the friction material from the brake pads to transfer to the rotor. Do not ride the brakes, this can overheat your pads and rotors during the break-in process. Break-in can take up to 50 miles.
