Hey all...

Quick question. Changing my front and rear brake pads. Can I change my front pads without a center stand??

I'm asking because my bike no longer has one. The wiki info says to put in on the center stand etc. but I heard my mechanic say in passing you don't need to.

Cheers and thanks for any help/info

Yes.

Wouldn't blocking the engine and jacking it up work better

Honestly, I have suspended the front on tie down straps suspended on a rafter in the shed.

It has been a while so my memory isn't so good.

You can change the pads on the side stand.  You only need to lift the front wheel if your changing the rotor as well.

Sheesh.  I always just take the wheel off to get things out of the way.  Of course you can just remove the caliper.  Duh!  I am getting feeble minded like gsjack.

Thanks! Sounds good.
