accordance with scheduled requirements
and replaced if worn to, or beyond the
minimum service thickness.
If the lining thickness of any pad (front or rear
brakes) is less than 1.5 mm (0.06 in), that is,
if the pad has worn down to the bottom of the
grooves, replace all the pads on the wheel.
A
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.
Disc Brake Fluid
Inspect the level of brake fluid in both
reservoirs and change the brake fluid in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid as
recommended in the specification section.
The brake fluid must also be changed if it
becomes, or is suspected of having become
contaminated with moisture or any other
contaminants.
A
WARNING:
Brake fluid is
hygroscopic which means it
will absorb moisture from the air.
Any absorbed moisture will greatly
reduce the boiling point of the brake
fluid causing a reduction in braking
efficiency.
Because of this, always replace brake
fluid in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Always use new brake fluid from a
sealed container and never use fluid
from an unsealed container or from
one which has been previously
opened.
Do not mix different brands or grades
of brake fluid.
Check for fluid leakage around brake
fittings, seals and joints and also
check the brake hoses for splits,
deterioration and damage.
Always rectify any faults before
riding.
Failure to observe and act upon any of
these items may cause a dangerous
riding condition leading to loss of
control and an accident.
