Maintenance operations
Caution
If one of the pads is worn, change both pads.
Change the brake pads as follows.
Remove the split pins (2) from the pad retaining pin.
Force the brake pads apart to force the caliper pistons into their housings.
Withdraw the brake pad retaining pin (3) from the outside.
Release the worn pads (4) from the spring (5) and remove them.
Note
Change pads which are shiny or vitrified.
Fit new pads and their springs (5 and 6). Insert the centering pin (3) and lock it using the split pins (2).
Operate the brake lever repeatedly so that the pads bed in under the action of the brake pistons.
Check that the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir is above the MIN mark.
If necessary, top up as follows. Turn the handlebar so that the reservoir is level.
Unscrew the two cross-slot screws (6) and remove the reservoir cover.
Remove the inner membrane (7) from the reservoir.
