Tyres, Brakes and Suspension » Brembo brake spring clips

Hello all

I'm looking for a UK source of the spring clips that prevent the pad pin falling out.

I lost one many months ago (while cleaning the bike) and although I don't see it as an essential safety issue (if the pins are tight) I'd like to replace it.

I thought I'd found some but they were too small.

Motorworks sell a complete kit of pin, clip and pad spring but I don't want to spend that much just for a tiny clip.

Any help appreciated.

Peter

TRY SEARCHING FOR 'R CLIPS' ON EBAY....

Those look like standard cotter pins. Available in a variety of sizes from most automotive and hardware stores.

The rear one's are R clips, the front however.......

I have two spare, can post you one if it is what you need.

Is it front or rear you need, are they the same size?

It is straight on one leg, R shape and a 90 degree bend on the top.

I changed pins on my R1200R and ST, but guess this is the same pin.

It is unmarked, the pins and back clip were rusty but I never used the clips

It is the rear, U shape on top bend rather than the triangle sharp bend as per front set.

From memory the rear pin with a sleave spring and I used a punch to remove it, the clip is obviously a safety retainer.

It goes through the pin, as per the service manual cd, let me know, Dave

Now had a nights sleep and some new grey cells in use!
I will see if this clip matches the rear one on my RS and can confirm for you in daylight.

If the same pattern clips are available at a few pence then that's the way to go, however is there any reason why the standard R clip wouldn't do the job just as well?

They are the same clips as used in the 'non'water cooled' R1200 range, just checked and it fits.

Only difference is now they use two clips and no apparent need to hammer the pin out.

Although I am pretty sure my local Ocean BMW dealership could probably find one off of their stock if it was needed, they have helped me before.

Just to confirm Dave, the correct clip isn't an R clip, it doesn't go through the pin but around it both sides.

Annoyingly you have to buy a kit with all of the 3 components shown in Peter’s photo - I had to replace the same clip a few years back!
