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 rear 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 pads (see figure).
– Remove the pads taking care not to drop the leaf spring above
them.
– To refit the parts, follow the reverse procedure. When fitting
the brake pads, ensure that the leaf spring is properly posi-
tioned.
Replacing the caliper pistons
After removing the caliper and the brake pads, repeatedly actu-
ate the brake lever until the piston comes out of its seat, then re-
move the piston and the oil seal and replace them with new
parts from a spare kit.
Subsequently replenish and bleed the system (see Chap-
ter 4 Maintenance). Only use DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 oil.
