I need new front brake pads for my 2010 Hypermotard 796, but I'm having a hard time finding any information about the installation process (already searched the forums, google, youtube, etc).

Do you have to take the entire caliper off or can you just take the two pins out and slide the new pads in? Any tips would be appreciated! I'm not very mechanically inclined, but from everything I've heard, replacing the pads is extremely simple.

Also - any non-OEM pad recommendations? I thought the stock pads were just fine, but might like to try something new if it's worth it.

Thanks for the detailed instructions HH. My 796 needs new pads and I will be using your post as a reference this winter.

I have 12,000 miles on my original OEM pads. What kind of milreage are other people getting out of their brake pads?
