Replacing the front brake pads
To replace the brake pads, follow these steps:
– Push the brake caliper towards the disc so that the pistons
can reach their base position.
– Loosen grub screw A.
– Pull out pin B while supporting the two brake pads as shown
in the figure.
– Remove the pads taking care not to drop the leaf spring lo-
cated underneath.
– To refit the parts, follow the reverse procedure. When fitting
the brake pads, ensure that the leaf spring is properly posi-
tioned.
WARNING: Always keep the brake disc free from oil and
grease as these substances greatly reduce the braking
action.
Every time the braking system is serviced, operate the brake
lever to bring the pads into contact with the disc, restore the cor-
rect pressure point and ensure proper operation of the braking
system.
Replacing the front brake caliper pistons
Loosen the two screws C and remove the brake caliper. Re-
peatedly pull the brake lever. In these conditions, without the
brake pads in place, the pistons will come out of their seats, al-
lowing the pistons and the related oil seals to be removed. Re-
place the parts with those contained in the spare kit.
Subsequently replenish and bleed the system (see Chap-
ter 4 Maintenance). Only use DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 oil.
