Breaking-in New Brake Pads and
Discs
Warning
Brake pads must always be replaced as
a wheel set. At the front, where two
calipers are fitted on the same wheel,
replace all the brake pads in both cali-
pers.
Replacing individual pads will reduce
braking efficiency and may cause an
accident.
After replacement brake pads have
been fitted, ride with extreme caution
until the new pads have 'broken in'.
New brake discs and pads require a pe-
riod of careful breaking-in that will
optimise the performance and longevity
of the discs and pads. The recommend-
ed distance for breaking-in new pads
and discs is 200 miles (300 km).
During this period, avoid extreme brak-
ing, ride with caution and allow for
greater braking distances.
