Breaking in New Brake Pads and Discs
Warning
Brake pads must always be replaced
as a wheel set. At the front, where two
calipers are fitted on the same wheel,
replace all the brake pads in both
calipers.
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'.
New brake discs and pads require
a period of careful breaking-in that
will optimise the performance and
longevity of the discs and pads. The
recommended distance for breaking-
in new pads and discs is 200 miles
(300 km).
During this period, avoid extreme
braking, ride with caution and allow for
greater braking distances.
Brake Wear Inspection
Warning
If fitting new proprietary brand brake
pads, check that the carrier plate of
the brake pad is at least 4.5 mm thick.
Fitting brake pads with the carrier
plate less than 4.5 mm thick may
result in brake failure due to the
possible loss of the brake pad as it
wears.
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 is less
than, 1.0 mm (0.04 in) (front) or 1.5 mm
(0.06 in) (rear), replace all the pads on
the wheel.
Brake pads for this model supplied
by Triumph will have the carrier plate
at least 4.5 mm thick. Always have
replacement brake pads supplied and
fitted by your Triumph dealer.
