Rear brake pad removal..

[wotbus@]

How to or is it a Duke shop job ?

[Paul_Smith]

They are standard Brembo calipers so it is an easy job. If you haven't done brake servicing yourself before, make sure you watch lots of Youtube how-to's first.

Hi Paul. All my other stallions (2 Dukes and 2 Guzzi’s) were just remove the locating pins and pull the pads upwards. I raised the question not knowing what HiTech gizmo’s may be hidden inside the calliper opposite the locating pin as the whole bike is an advanced piece of kit and I wouldn't have been surprised to learn there was a special tool be used. I have since seen on YouTube a guy just removed the pin and pulled the pad rearwards and out which is OK when you know there is no spring loaded thingy that goes « boing » and lands somewhere undiscoverable in the garage or the other side of the moon, usually the latter in my case 😉.
Thanks for the reply 👍

Yep. There are spring loaded thingys that goes bong. Have a quick look at the parts diagram and you will see what you need to do. https://www.bike-parts-ducati.com/ducati-motorcycle/Multistrada/2017/Multistrada_950_Touring/Multistrada-950-Touring/REAR-BRAKE-SYSTEM/300/29/0/300

Well, there you go. Thanks for the heads up and the link Paul. I havent tried yet, luckily, as busy with my Darmah. I’m going to try the Copaslip trick to try and stop the low-speed growl from the brake but from what I have read from others I’m not optimistic. Chrs.

I’ve copperslipped mine this weekend, made no difference still growl when coming to a standstill or slow driving in traffic. Might have to look at different pads to the bare bones ones fitted. Oh and the fronts do it as well!

[Paul_Smith]

Putting copaslip on worked very well for me. It silenced the pads almost completely.

my fronts also do it, to the point where i think i need to change them even though theyve loads of meat still on them. What are folks using as replacement pads? on all my other bikes ive used EBC sintered. Anyone know how they do on the multistrada?

Yes to using sintered although I used Galfer - see here for thread on using EBC sintered https://www.multistrada950.com/index.php/topic,1187.msg11600.html#msg11600
