RAKE PAD CHECK
/
REPLACEMENT
Every 3000 km (2000 mi) check for the thickness of the
brake pads:
• The minimum thickness of friction material is 1.5 mm.
If the minimum thickness of the friction material is less
than this value, it is necessary to replace the pads.
After replacement, it is not necessary to drain the braking
system. Just activate the control lever repeatedly until
the caliper pistons are brought to the normal position once
again.
When replaceing the pads, check the condition of the
flexible tubings; they must be replaced immediately if
damaged.
N.B.
After the pads have been replaced, it is
necessary to use the brakes with moderation
for the first 100 Km (60 mi) in order to allow them
to bed-in correctly.
The motorbike is equipped with calipers which allow the
pads to be replaced without having to be removed from
their respective supports.
