Maintenance and Adjustment
Brakes
1. Lining material thickness
2. 0.06 in (1.5 mm) groove thickness
Brake Pad Wear Inspection
Brake pads must be inspected in accordance
with the scheduled maintenance
requirements and replaced if worn to, or
beyond, the minimum service thickness.
If the lining thickness of any pad (front or rear
brakes) is less than 0.06 in (1.5 mm), that is, if
the pad has worn down to the bottom of the
grooves, replace all the pads on the wheel.
Breaking-in New Brake Pads and
Discs
After replacement brake discs and/or pads
have been installed to the motorcycle, we
recommend a period of careful breaking-in
that will optimise the performance and
longevity of the discs and pads. The
recommended distance for breaking-in new
pads and discs is 200 miles (300 km).
After installing new brake discs and/or pads
avoid extreme braking, ride with caution and
If the sprockets are found to be worn,
always replace the sprockets and drive
chain together.
Replacing worn sprockets without also
replacing the chain will lead to premature
wear of the new sprockets.
