Maintenance and Adjustment
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 optimize 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
allow for greater braking distances during the
breaking-in period.
Brake Pad Wear Compensation
Disc and brake pad wear is automatically
compensated for and has no effect on the
brake lever or pedal action. There are no
parts that require adjustment on the front
and rear brakes.
Warning
Brake pads must always be replaced as a
wheel set. At the front, where two calipers
are installed on the same wheel, replace all
the brake pads in both calipers.
Replacing individual pads will reduce
braking efficiency and may cause an
accident.
After replacement brake pads have been
installed, ride with extreme caution until
the new pads have 'broken in'.
Warning
If the brake lever or pedal feels soft when it
is applied, or if the lever/pedal travel
becomes excessive, there may be air in the
brake lines and hoses or the brakes may
be defective.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle
under such conditions and your authorized
Triumph dealer must rectify the fault
before riding.
Riding with defective brakes may lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
