    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Suzuki lists 99000-25110 grease for bolts
and 99000-25100 grease for floating pads
Mine had a really sticky/gooey tar like red stuff on the pads??
 
Silicone grease on the sliders, copper grease sparingly on the metal to metal edges of the pads. The red stuff is probably ' rubber grease' use to check corrosion between the front of the piston and caliper. Avoid oil based greases getting on seals or dust boots - over time it swells them.
 
+1 on copper grease, both the axles and the very edges of the pads where they slide along the caliper.

I used ordinary marine grease initially and after about 18 months it was tacky and sticky and was causing the pads to drag badly enough on the rotor to cause brake fade from heat.
 
What everyone else said.
I am never without a tube in the garage.
