Breaking-in New Brake Discs and
Pads
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'.
Warning
Brake pad wear will be increased if
the motorcycle is used frequently off-
road. Always inspect the brake pads
more frequently if the motorcycle is
used off-road, and replace the brake
pads before they become worn to, or
beyond the minimum service thickness.
Riding with worn brake pads may
reduce braking efficiency, leading
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Triumph recommend a period of
careful breaking-in for new brake discs
and pads that, if followed correctly,
will optimise their performance and
longevity.
The recommended distance for
breaking-in new brake discs and pads is
200 miles (300 km).
During the breaking-in period, avoid
extreme braking, ride with caution and
allow for greater braking distances.
Brake Wear Inspection
Warning
Only fit approved brake pads.
Always have replacement brake pads
supplied and fitted by an authorised
Triumph dealer.
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.
