    Hi,

    go online and look for haynes manuals. There are some places where they are uploaded for free!

    Brake pad changing is a doddle. Just remember where everything goes, and dont touch the pad side of the brake pads.

    Go online (youtube) for little instructional vids. Theres a few really good ones!

    But do have a go. You get a great buzz & confidence doing it yourself (and save a few quid)

    G'luck

    Haya,

    Brake pads? Well theyre only €20 or therabouts, so i just buy them from the shop (JPs on pearce street are sound lads)

    There 2 kinds that will fit your bike. Sintered (spelling?) and normal ones.
    The sintered are for sports bikes, they are designed to hold high heat. Id go for the normal ones. Ask the guy in the shop.

    Oil change on youtube:
    I thought this guy was very good. I've a different bike, but this gives you a really good idea of whats needed. Check your owners manual aswell...

    An online option is http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/
    I think there may be two types, depending on caliper. Mine is a Nissin caliper from 2002 model onwards.
