Rear Brake Pads – Installation
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the
motorcycle.
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.
Use only DOT 4 specification brake fluid as listed in the General Information section of
this manual. The use of brake fluids other than those DOT 4 fluids listed in the General
Information section may reduce the efficiency of the braking system leading to an
accident. Observe the brake fluid handling warnings given in the General Information
section.
To prevent paint damage, do not spill brake fluid onto any area of the bodywork.
Spilled brake fluid will damage paintwork.
