An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the
motorcycle.
1. If removed, install the front brake pads (see Front Brake Pads - Installation).
2. Thoroughly clean the threaded fixing holes for both front fork brake caliper fixings.
3. Thoroughly clean the threaded part of the fixings and smear the first four threads
with a proprietary copper based grease.
4. Position the left and right hand calipers over the disc.
5. Secure the brake calipers with the fixings and tighten sufficiently to bring the calipers
into contact their mounting points, while allowing a small amount of lateral
movement. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
6. Connect the brake hoses to the calipers incorporating new sealing washers on each
side of the hose connections.
