BRAKE PAD WEAR CHECK
Check the wear status of front brake pads (1) and
rear brake pads (2).
-The pads have a groove (3) that indicates wear;
when the groove has almost disappeared, the pair
of brake pads has to be replaced.
CAUTION
Contact an SWM dealer to have the brake pads
replaced.
WARNING
After the brake pads have been replaced, ride
carefully and brake gradually in order to allow the
brake pads to properly run in/couple to the rela-
tive discs.
PAD CLEANING
Make sure that there are no traces of brake fluid
or oil on the pads or discs Use alcohol to clean
the pads or discs from any traces of fluid or oil.
If the pads cannot be cleaned properly, replace
them.
PAD INSTALLATION
Refit the pads following the removal procedure in
reverse order.
WARNING
Do not ride the motorcycle until the brake lever
or pedal is fully effective. “Pump” the brake lever
or pedal until the pads are against the discs. The
brake will not operate when the lever or pedal is
activated for the first time.
DISC CLEANING
A poor braking efficiency can also be caused by
the presence of oil on the disc. Oil or grease on
the disc can be removed using a high flammability
index solvent such as acetone or similar products.
