BRAKING SYSTEM 13
Installation
WARNING: Never use mineral based
grease in any part of the braking system
or in any area where contact with the braking
system is possible. Mineral based grease will
damage the hydraulic seals in the calipers and
master cylinders.
Damage caused by mineral based grease may
reduce braking efficiency resulting in an accident.
A
CAUTION: Brake fluid will be displaced
as the caliper pistons are compressed. To
prevent body damage, ensure that the displaced
fluid does not come into contact with any part of
the bodywork or the rear wheel.
1. If fitting new pads, use hand pressure to
compress the caliper pistons fully into their bores.
2.
Fit the anti—rattle spring into the caliper.
3. Renew the brake pads as a pair or, if both pads
are in a serviceable condition, clean the pad
grooves before fitting them.
WARNING: Do not apply more than a
minimum coating of grease to the pad
retaining pins. Excess grease may contaminate
the brake pads, hydraulic seals and discs causing
reduced braking efficiency and an accident.
4. Lubricate the pad retaining pins using a minimum
amount of proprietary high temperature
'Copperslip' type grease. Press down on both
pads and fit the retaining pins.
5. Position the caliper over the disc ensuring both
pads are correctly aligned.
6. Fit the caliper retaining bolts, and tighten to to 40
Nm.
7. Tighten the brake pad retaining pins to 20 Nm.
8. Pump the brake pedal to correctly position the
caliper pistons.
WARNING: Use only D.O.T. 4
specification brake fluid as listed in the
general information section of this manual. The
use of brake fluids other than those D.O.T. 4 fluids
listed in the general information section may
reduce the efficiency of the braking system
leading to an accident.
Observe the brake fluid handling warnings given
earlier in this section of the manual.
9. Check the brake fluid level and top—up as
required with new DOT 4 fluid.
