Replacing the brake pads
Replacing the brake pads
NOTE
This brake system is designed to automatically adjust the clearance between the disc brake rotor and the brake pads by the piston gradually
protruding according to the wear of the brake pads; therefore, when you replace the brake pads, you need to push back the piston.
TECH TIPS
If oil adheres to the brake pads, if the brake pads are worn down to a thickness of 0.5mm, or if the brake pad presser springs are interfering with
the disc brake rotor, replace the brake pads.
