Before starting the replacement process, make sure you have the following tools and materials ready:
Tools

- Screwdriver: Optional, but can help with loosening any stubborn screws.
Materials
- New brake pads: Ensure you have the correct size for the Vixion model.
Step 2: Prepare Your Motorcycle
- Safety first: Ensure the motorcycle is parked on a flat surface and is stable.
- Remove the front wheel if necessary: This might make access to the brake caliper easier.
Step 3: Remove the Brake Caliper

Step 5: Reinstall the Brake Caliper
- Align the caliper back onto the brake disc.
- Secure it by tightening the bolts with the T50 star key wrench. Ensure they are snug but do not overtighten.
- Double-check everything: Ensure that the caliper is properly aligned and the brake pads are seated correctly.
Step 6: Test the Brakes
