Can anyone help with my bike please

Would anyone be able to help with my track/race bike. I need to change the front pads on it and check and adjust the clutch before Silverstone and make sure everything else is okay.

I have ordered some brake pads, so I hope to get them next week.

I'm off work from the evening of the 26th I'm not working again till april. So if anyone could help before I go to Silverstone that would awesome. I have owned bikes less than year, so I don't much about servicing bikes, but I want to learn!

My bike is near Aylesbury, at my parents I have to keep them seperate as I don't have enough room in London to store them both!

If anyone could help that would be ace! I'm doing 12 hour shifts over today and tomorrow so won't be online much.

Thanks, Chris.

I live 5mins from aylesbury, if you get stuck PM me and I'll lend you a hand

That would be ace thanks, to be honest I have never done any of this before
if you could make to make sure I don't mess anything up! I don't want to find out my front brakes don't work as I go into a corner!

Not a problem, just give me a shout.

It's great when you figure this stuff out!

Why not bleed the brake at the same time as swapping out your pads?

I usually crack the bleed valve when I force the pistons back, makes it much easier, then bleed them when I've changed the pads. I'm also a believer in changing the fluid completely as it is fiercely hygroscopic and becomes less effective over time
