CHECK PAD WEAR
Once every 2000 km it is advisable to check the
pads for wear; when using the vehicle off road,
with mud or sand, check after every use.
The pads have a groove that must always be vis-
ible.
Disk brake pad wear depends on use as well
as style of driving and road.
For a quick check of pad wear:
- Position the vehicle on the stand.
-
Both the front and the rear brake calipers are fit-
ted with two brake pads.
Make a visual inspection between disk and pads, look-
ing:
-
upwards toward the “caliper pivot pin” for the
front brake calipers;
-
downwards at the rear for the rear brake caliper.
Wear that goes beyond the limit of the friction
material leads to contact of the pad metal shoe
with the disk with consequent metallic noise and
sparks flying from the caliper; braking efficiency,
safety and completeness of the disk would thus
be affected.
If the groove has disappeared (friction material
depth 1.5 mm), replace the pair of pads.
