Brakes
Brake Wear Inspection
1 Brake pads
2 Minimum thickness line
Brake pads must be inspected in
accordance
with
scheduled
maintenance
requirements
and
replaced if worn to, or beyond the
minimum service thickness.
If the lining thickness of any pad
(front or rear brakes) is less than 1.5
mm (0.06 in), that is, if the pad has
worn down to the bottom of the
grooves, replace all the pads on the
wheel.
Brake Pad Wear Compensation
Disc and brake pad wear is
automatically compensated for and
has no effect on the brake lever or
pedal action. There are no parts that
require adjustment on the front and
rear brakes.
Warning
Brake pads must always be
replaced as a wheel set. At the
front, where two callipers are fitted
on the same wheel, replace all the
brake pads in both callipers.
Replacing individual pads will
reduce braking efficiency and may
cause an accident.
After replacement brake pads have
been fitted, ride with extreme
caution until the new pads have
’broken in'.
