Brake Pads

BRAKES

Caliper

Caliper Holder Shaft Wear

The caliper body must slide smoothly on the caliper holder shafts [A]. If the body does not slide smoothly, one pad will wear more than the other, pad wear will increase, and con­stant drag on the disc will raise brake and brake fluid tem­perature.

• Check to see if the caliper holder shafts are not badly worn or stepped, or rubber friction boot are not damaged.

• If the shafts and rubber friction boot are damaged, replace the rubber friction boot and the caliper holder.

Brake Pad Removal

• Remove the caliper [A] with the hose installed.

• Remove the pads pushing the caliper holder at both side holding the caliper body, so, the inner pad can be re­moved first and then outer pad.

• Remove the caliper [B] (see caliper Removal).

• Remove the pads [A] pushing the caliper at both side holding the caliper body, so, the inner pad can be re­moved first and then outer pad.

○In case of removing the caliper, the bleeding of the brake line is reguired, and do not attempt to drive the motorcycle until a full brake lever (pedal) is obtained by pumping the brake lever (pedal).

Brake Pad Installation

A WARNING

Do not attempt to drive the motorcycle until a full brake lever is obtained by pumping the brake lever until the pads are against the disc. The brake will not function on the first application of the lever if this is not done.

• Push the caliper piston in by hand as far as it will go.

• Install the anti-rattle spring in place.

• Install the brake pads.

• Be sure to install the pad pin clip. Install the caliper (see Caliper Installation).

Brake Pad Wear Inspection

• Refer to the Brakes Pad Wear Inspection in the Periodic Maintenance chapter.
