Where are you located?

how can that be relevant????????

no difference from conventional brakes - procedure as you describe. i have two comments though:

1. i'd open the bleed nipples before compressing the pistons, then close them once done. that way, you're not forcing old fluid back through the system - and now is a good time to bleed your braking system in its entirety.
2. the price difference between aftermarket and genuine honda pads is so low, it's not worth not using the genuine article. and honda pads come with the necessary anti-squeal shims and a little sachet of silicone/moly brake lube.

also, scuffing is unnecessary on most oem honda disk/pad combinations. the pads contain a little abrasive sufficient to keep the disks clean and healthy. "little" being the key word on a honda, unlike bmw that spec such a high silica content, you need to change the disks just as often as you do pads.

Thanks Jim!

I forgot about opening that bleedin bleeder screw. Will check Honda's pad prices, avg jobber is around $40 CAD. Are you the Jim in the machinist forums?

just buy online. if you go to tegger.com, he's got a useful list of oem honda suppliers with decent pricing.

nope.
