BDF is right. The 08, which is like mine, is non linked, and here's something I learned over the years about motorcycle brakes...well, it actually was the first time I put pads on a bike back in the mid 80s. My 900 Eliminator to be exact. Motorcycles have no dust boot between the the caliper seal, and the atmosphere, just a wiper. It's adequate for keeping out the garbage as long as the piston moves out under normal wear, but when the pistons are pushed back in for routine pad replacement, it will almost always result in sticking pistons, unless certain steps are followed. The most guilty of not following these steps are....yep...dealer mechanics.
The steps are:
1 while the caliper is off, use a brush, I prefer an old toothbrush, an a solution of soap (Dawn) and water, and scrub the f**k outta the pistons, where they are protruding from the caliper. You might want to gently pump them a little farther out to get all the crud.
2 Dry everything off with some air, or wait for it to dry on it's own.
3 Now You can push the pistons back in. Attach a clear hose to the bleeder, and crack it open to keep from pushing grungy fluid back through the system. (while pushing the pistons in, you should be able to do it with your fingers)
I started a thread with pics of my pad replacement method, but can't find it. If I do, i'll link it here.....found it. link
