Maintenance and Adjustment
Side Panels
Side panel removal is required to access the
fuse boxes and to top up the rear brake fluid
reservoir.
Removal
Remove the rider’s seat (see page 74).
Remove the two fixings securing the side
panel.
1. Side panel (right hand shown)
2. Fixings

Release the side panel grommets from the
mounting studs, by pulling upwards, and
remove it from the motorcycle.
Installation

mounting studs and press down to secure.
Align the side panel to the subframe and refit
the two fixings.

Brakes
Brake Wear Inspection
1. Brake pads
2. Minimum thickness line
Brake pads must be inspected in accordance
with scheduled 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 1.5 mm (0.06 in), 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 fitted 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).
