6.11 REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE PADS
AND DISC (
➤
In mechanical drive models)
Remove the left-hand rear wheel [see 6.1].
Disconnect the control rod
(1)
from the lever
(2)
and
undo the two screws
(3)
which hold on the support
(4)
.
The support
(4)
contains a pad
(5a)
separated from
the control pistons
(6)
by a plate
(7)
.
The other pad
(5b)
can be reached by taking off the
disc
(8)
.
If there is oil on the pads, clean with solvent and go
over them with fine-grade abrasive paper.
Both pads should be replaced if the depth of either
of them is less than 5 mm.
Renew the disc if it is damaged, distorted or less
than 4 mm thick.
On reassembly, carefully reposition all the compo-
nents and refit the complete support. When con-
necting the rod
(1)
be sure to use the upper hole in
the lever
(2).
NOTE
During all these operations it is better to not
unscrew or loosen the central screw
(9)
to avoid
altering the calibration of the cam driving the pis-
tons.
If it has been moved, the lever’s free movement will
have to be checked [see 4.3].
When fully reassembled ...
Check the brake adjustment [see 4.3].
