Never use mineral-based grease (such as lithium or copper based grease) in any area
where contact with the braking system hydraulic seals and dust seals is possible.
Mineral-based grease will damage the hydraulic seals and dust seals in the calipers
and master cylinders.
Damage caused by contact with mineral-based grease may reduce braking efficiency
resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Never lever directly against the disc, caliper or the pad lining material as this will
damage these components. Always use a levering tool made from a soft material
which will not cause damage to the load bearing surfaces.
Brake fluid will be displaced as the caliper pistons are compressed. To prevent body
damage, make sure that the displaced fluid does not come into contact with any part
of the bodywork.
