BRAKES
BRAKE PAD WEAR INSPECTION
Inspect the brakes for wear. For each brake caliper, if the thickness of
brake pads is less than 2 mm (0.08 in), replace both brake pads in the
caliper as a set. Pad replacement should be performed by a qualified
motorcycle mechanic.
BREAK IN: NEW BRAKE PADS & ROTORS
After replacing brake pads or rotors, the brakes must be allowed
to “seat” properly. The recommended distance for breaking in new
pads or rotors is 200 mi (300 km). During this time, avoid situations
that require extreme braking and ride with caution, allowing for greater
braking distances.
WARNING: Brake pads must always be replaced as a wheel set.
Replacing individual brake pads will reduce braking performance
and may result in loss of control and an accident.
