Brake Wear Inspection
1. Brake pads
2. Minimum thickness line
Brake pads must be inspected in
accordance with scheduled
requirements and replaced if worn to, or
beyond the minimum service thickness.
If the lining thickness of any brake pad
(front or rear brakes) is less than 0.06 in
(1.5 mm), that is, if the brake pad has
worn down to the bottom of the
grooves, replace all the brake pads on
the wheel.
Breaking-in Replacement Brake
Discs and/or Brake Pads
After replacement brake discs and/or
brake pads have been installed to the
motorcycle, Triumph recommend a
period of careful breaking-in that will
optimize the performance and longevity
of the brake discs and brake pads. The
recommended distance for breaking-in
new brake discs and brake pads is
200 miles (300 km).
After installing new brake discs and/or
brake pads avoid extreme braking, ride
with caution and allow for greater
braking distances during the breaking-in
period.

Warning
Brake pads must always be replaced
as a wheel set. At the front, where
two calipers are installed on the same
wheel, replace all the brake pads in
both calipers.
Replacing individual pads will reduce
braking efficiency and may cause loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
After replacement brake pads have
been installed, ride with extreme
caution until the new brake pads have
broken in.
