Brake Pad Wear
Brake pad wear depends on the severity of usage
and track conditions. (Generally, the pads will
wear faster on wet and dirty tracks) Inspect the
pads at each regular maintenance interval (page
21).
Front Brake Pads
Inspect the pads (1) through the front wheel to
determine the pad wear. If either pad is worn
anywhere to a thickness of 0.04 in (1 mm), both
pads must be replaced.

(2) front brake caliper
Rear Brake Pads
Inspect the pads (4) from the rear side of the
caliper to determine the pad wear. If either pad
is worn anywhere to a thickness of 0.04 in
(1 mm), both pads must be replaced.
