REPLACEMENT OF FRONT BRAKE PADS (A)
FOR ALL MODELS WITH FLOATING CALIPER (END/MX)
Push the brake caliper towards the disc, in a way that the brake pistons
reach their base position. Remove the safety devices (1), extract the pin
(2) and remove the pads from the caliper. Use compressed air to clean
the brake caliper and the caliper support, check that the driving pin seals
are not damaged and, if necessary, grease them.
Mount the right brake pad and fix it with the pin. Mount the left brake
pad and insert the pin until it stops. Mount the safety devices. During
mounting of the pads, ensure that the protection sheet-steel in the caliper
support and the leaf spring are correctly positioned.
FOR ALL MODELS WITH FIXED CALIPER (SMR/SMM)
RADIAL COUPLING - Unscrew the two screws M10 (3) and remove
the caliper from the fork shoe. Press the two hooks (4) one at a time to
release and slide the retainer pins (5) out. Lever on each pair of pads
to allow the pistons to go back to their seat. Extract the worn pads and
insert the new ones. Repeat the operation for the other pair of pads.
Press the two hooks down and re-insert the pins: be sure that they are
fully inserted, have their play and are correctly attached. Reassemble
the caliper and tighten the M10 screws at 40Nm.
WARNING
- FOR ALL MODELS: WHEN THE CALIPER PISTONS ARE PUSHED BACK TO
THEIR SEAT TO PROVIDE ROOM FOR THE NEW PADS, PAY ATTENTION
THAT THE FLUID CONTAINED IN THE RESERVOIR HAS THE SPACE TO
EXPAND. DO NOT WORK WITHOUT THE CAP MOUNTED, OTHERWISE
THE FLUID COULD OVERFLOW AND DAMAGE PARTS OF THE MOTOR-
CYCLE.
- THE BRAKE DISC MUST ALWAYS BE KEPT FREE FROM OIL AND
GREASE. OTHERWISE THE BRAKING EFFECT WOULD BE GREATLY
REDUCED.
- AFTER MOUNTING, CHECK THAT THE SAFETY DEVICES ARE COR-
RECTLY POSITIONED . AFTER EVERY INTERVENTION ON THE BRAKING
SYSTEM ACTIVATE THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER AND THE REAR BRAKE
PEDAL TO MAKE THE PADS ADHERE TO THE DISC AND TO RESTORE
THE CORRECT ADJUSTMENT OF PLAY.
