I just got new pads for my 2001 750. How hard and what do I need to do to change these pads? Thanks in advance.

 

It's not hard at all..are you gonna change your lines also? How about the fluid? If not it's just a matter of removing some screws the pin, pull out the pads, push the pistons back, line-up the new pads, put the Pin and stuff back and your good to go.
Good Luck if you need more info PM me.

 

I was going to replace the line but I do not have the money as of yet. Also the bike only has 5k on it, I do not think it needs new fluid yet. Now when I push the pistion in do I take the master cyl cover off or do I leave it on? Also do I need to bleed the brakes at all after Im done? Thanks.

 

If the fluid is still light in color it doesn't need to be changed, if it's dark in color it's time for a change. If the brakes don't feel squishy and the fluid is good then just take the clip off the resevior and unscrew it lift the bladder up to brake the seal put the cap back on one turn then push the pistons back into the calipers
Becareful not to jerk the tire back and forth or you might spill some fluid and it eats paint, after your sone check the bladder again tighten the cap squeeze your lever a few times you should be good. Let me know how you make out.
