I own a 95 1100 Virago...I would suggest you get a Clymers or other manual however...we're talking brakes here, doing this job wrong can ruin your whole day! Clymer's describes 4 different types of pads , any will fit, but only one is right depending on model and year.

Done.

How do I change the front brake pads on a KF Ford Laser?
I want to know if there is anything to be careful of before my partner changes the brake pads on our car.How do I change the front brake pads on a KF Ford Laser?Well first off don't use just a jack also use jack stands ive seen many people
just jack up a car with a floor jack then get under it and get crushed and or killed
seen them both make sure your partner uses jack stands which are pretty cheap
compared to your life, as for the brakes themselves simple to replace first off
you will need to open master cylinder if the fluid is low don't fill it generally low fluid means worn brakes unbolt calipers which is the housing that holds the pads in the housing is a piston with a rubber gasket you will be to get a piston
compressor tool or large pair of channel locks and compress the piston all the way back in other wise your going to be hard pressed to get new pads in as you compress the piston the fluid level should rise back to full mark brakes are a sealed system if there was a leak brakes won't work well brake pedal will just slowly hit the floor boards when compressing pistons use rags
on the channel locks teeth so you don't poke a hole in the gaskets around the pistons put the new pads in re bolt caliper do the same on the other side
when your doing the brakes you want to look at the rotor make sure its smooth also you can look at the old pads them selves if one pad is more worn
the the other the calipers may need replacing make sure you buy a can of brake cleaner that way you can wipe any grease off the rotors grease and brakes don't mix nor will you stop, also if your rotors have lots of grooves
they will need to be replaced its not totally critical but brakes will last half the time than normally, also check fluid level once both brakes are replaced top off if needed its not totally critical to replace worn calipers or rotors but the new pad won't last long if you don't as far as brakes its always best to replace worn out calipers ie uneven wear or bad rotors with lots of grooves
you can take your rotors in to be turned meaning that a shop or machine shop puts on a lath and cuts the grooves out the problem with this is heating and cooling also any hair line cracks replace the rotors they will fail you looking for discoloration etc make sure you use cleaner specific to brakes
otherwise it will leave a chemical film and you may not stop and also wear eye protection
hope this helps
