Caliper Mounting Plate Bolts
See diagrams on page 32 and 33. These are the bolts that secure the
brake caliper’s mounting plate to the fork (front) or reaction plate (rear).
Front bolts are either M10 or M8 diameter, rears are almost always M8,
and usually require a 12mm or 10mm socket or wrench. Adjustable
wrenches are not suitable tools for this job. In the rear, temporary re-
moval of the chain-guard panel may be necessary to gain access.
Check them by applying 35-40 ft-lb (M10) or 18-20 ft-lb (M8) of torque to
each one. If a bolt moves, remove that bolt and re-install it with a drop of
medium-strength thread locker (LocTite™ 242 or equivalent) on the lead-
ing threads and torque to the above spec.
NOTE:
The brake calipers are of a “floating” design and are free to move
toward and away from the wheel, allowing alignment with the brake
rotor. They move along guide pins that are part of the mounting plate.
A small amount of fore-aft play is also normal.
