REAR BRAKE
Checking
To check the state of wear of the rear brake, you only
need look at the caliper from the rear, which gives a view
of the ends of the two brakepads. The pads must have a
layer of friction material at least 2 mm thick. If it is thinner
than this, replace the pads immediately.
Note:
Check the brakepads at the intervals given in the
table on page 29.
Replacing the brakepads
To replace the pads, follow the steps below:
- Slack off nut A.
- Move the wheel forward and remove the chain from
the rear sprocket.
- Pull out the wheel spindle and remove the wheel.
- Remove the brake caliper (B).
- Undo bolt C.
- Take out the pads and replace them.
To refit the pads, follow these steps in reverse. It is advis-
able to use medium-strength thread lock on bolt C.
If the brake disc is removed, medium-strength thread
lock should be applied to the bolts when refitting.
