[David S]

Does anyone have a link to a video on how to change the front pads on a 2003 non-ABS ST1300?

Thanks for the info but the 1100 has a different brake. I have changed brake pads in the past but these have different brackets on the left and right side. I'm just not sure how to take the left side caliper off. I just got this bike and have not had an ST before.

There are two bolts holding it on. They are 6mm allen key bolts I believe. Then dismantle to clean and widen the pistons to except the new pads. Check in the articles section for a "how to"

As Kevin said, go to the blue band at the top of this page, Articles > St1300. Go to page 2, about the 17th one down from the top, and read John Heath's superb article on brake maintenance. You should also read any other articles on bleeding the brakes.
