That's the beauty of this forum, everyone shares a bit of info and we all become experts on the GTR.

I removed my disk pads and unbolted the caliper from the bike and blasted brake cleaner through them and wiped a cloth through as well.

Reassembled using copperslipp on bolts and back of pads.

Pross, he's saying copper slip the back of the pads.........not the front.

Even a GTR with ABS would make stopping hard if you copper slipped the front of the pads.

explain  please 

Steve, I think he means, try getting your callipers back on without opening up the gap where the discs go........if your pistons are working as they should, you can open the gap with your fingers.
On one calliper, put a thin bit of wood between the two pads and squeeze the other 2 open, then repeat using a larger piece of wood for the ones you have just opened.
Works better with the reservoir cap off.

Perhaps not the best explanation in world !

Correct on both parts, don't put copper slip on pad faces lol and open pads up a little to make refitting easier, I do this with pads out with my fingers.

done the brakes today good and bad news as wolf and Bigalan and others said a couple of hours well spent cleaned with a toothbrush and copper slipped the back of the pads and pins .
the pads didn't look to bad all flat no edges a good sign they look like the originals not much difference in depth after 19000. guess which numpty only bought 4 for the front  another 4 ordered.
front seem fine after pumping the lever to work,
the rear don't seem to have much stopping power at the moment will they need to bed in ?? not spongy just don't seem much there.
I am back at work Monday so I can sort out a castle nut to clean the bobbins

[BigAlan]

Fancy only ordering 4 pads for the front I bet others have done it though.

The back will need a few stamps on the rear brake to bed in, then all will be fine.
