Brake pads wear check-up and replacement
CAUTION
The fluid used in the brake circuit, apart damaging the paint, is very damaging in contact of eyes
and skin; wash thoroughly with running water, the interested parts in the event of accidental
contact.
IMPORTANT
At the motorcycle delivery, after having replaced the pads, inform the Customer that for at least
100 km (60 mi) he must use the front brake carefully to allow a correct and complete settlement of
friction materials.
Front brake pads check-up
Check through the aperture of the caliper if the drill on the friction surface of the pads (1) is visible.
IMPORTANT
If just one of the pads is worn-out it is necessary to replace both.
Follow this way to replace the pads:
Remove the calipers.
Remove the safety split pins (2), push the small pistons of the caliper completely inside, opening
the used pads.
Slip off the wear pads (1).
NOTES
Replace the pads with a shiny and “glassy” aspect.
Insert the new pads with the relative safety split pins (2).
Reassemble the brake calipers.
Move several times the brake lever to allow the settlement of the pads.
Check that the brake fluid level in the pump oil reservoir is not below the mark MIN.
