DANGER
RISK OF ACCIDENT DUE TO REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE CAUSED BY BRAKE PADS THAT ARE NOT
BROKEN IN!
Disc brakes can only achieve full braking power when the brake pads are broken in. Choose a place off public
roads to break in the pads.
• Brake 20 to 30 times with the front or rear brake from a speed of 30 km/h down to 5 km/h and repeat the
process for the second brake. You should brake as hard as possible without locking one of the wheels.
