    Someone help me change my brake pads

    This evening..

    I procrastinated as usual. I don't have the right tool for those dinky pins.

    Bike is still pretty much ridable, so I'll be coming to you.

    Nah, just no tools. Actually, I probably do have the right allen key.

    On the Suzuki, not the Honda.

    Never done it before on a bike, thought it looks very simple. What I really wanted was a second set of eyes. And maybe someone with some tools.

    Put the pads back in the right order - calliper | pad | disc | pad | calliper. In my experience it works better.

    I was thinking of trying to get more pads on the right than on the left. I will try your suggestion none-the-less.
