I have the Hayes manual that covers all the ‘19 water cooled twins. There are Scrambler specific sections.

Hi!

I have the service manual for the XE from TriTun. If you just need to change the brake pads, the process is trivial:

1. Push the caliper towards the bike to push in the pistons and make removal a little easier.
2. Remove the R-Clips from the retaining pin and note their orientation.
3. Take out the pin with a punch, a screwdriver or something similar.
4. Take out the pads.
5. Reassemble in reverse order. Put a small amount of copper grease on the retaining pin to keep it from binding.

No caliper or rear wheel removal required. If you want to take off the caliper, it gets a little more complicated as the rear wheel speed sensor is mounted to the caliper assembly. I can look up the relevant pages if you need information on that.

 

Thanks guys, very helpful. I only need to clean and check the pads just now, so it sounds dead easy . Well used to doing my own servicing after over 50 years at it! I'll probably buy the Haynes manual too for other jobs in the future but will also check out the TriTun one as I've never come across them. Bike will be hiding in the shed till March I guess, -4 C here tonight with snow showers and lots of salt on the roads. Brrrr!
