Hey gang, does anyone have a good instructional source for changing out brake pads and rotors? I've got a 2020 HPE GTV/Sei Giorni.

I've found a few okay sources but you know, forums are the place to find this knowledge, so I thought I'd ask. Searching around can be time consuming.

Scooterpartsco had a pretty good deal on those Malossi rotors, so I'm hoping to install those this week, with some scintered pads and then go for a ride up the California coast.

A tip, get some spare bolts that hold the disc to the hub as it's easy to damage the heads

The bolts also have locktite applied on assembly at the factory so they are doubly hard to loosen.

Robot covers brake pad replacement in this video. The principals should be the same for your model..
