How do I change the brake pads on a BMW R1200GS?

I recently purchased a used BMW R1200GS and noticed that the brake pads are worn down. I have never changed brake pads on a motorcycle before and am unsure of the correct process. Any tips or advice?

Hi Laura, changing brake pads on a motorcycle can seem intimidating at first but it is a relatively simple process. First, make sure you have the correct replacement pads for your specific BMW R1200GS model. Then, remove the brake caliper bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor. Next, remove the old brake pads and clean the caliper and rotor with brake cleaner. Install the new pads and reattach the caliper. It's important to properly torque the bolts as over or under-tightening can cause issues. As always, consult your owner's manual for specific instructions. Safe riding!
