1. Brake pads
2. Minimum thickness line
Brake pads must be inspected
in accordance with scheduled
requirements and replaced if worn to, or
beyond the minimum service thickness.
If the lining thickness of any brake
pad (front or rear brakes) is less than
1.5 mm (0.06 in), that is, if the brake pad
has worn down to the bottom of the
grooves, replace all the brake pads on
the wheel.
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.
