Brake pads
Checking front brake pad
thickness
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Brake pads worn past
the minimum permissible
brake-pad thickness can cause
a reduction in braking efficiency
and under certain circumstances
they can cause damage to the
brake system.
In order to ensure the dependab-
ility of the brake system, do not
permit the brake pads to wear
past the minimum permissible
brake-pad thickness.
Visually inspect the brake pads
to ascertain their thickness.
Viewing direction: Above the
wheel axle, between wheel and
fork tube toward the brake cal-
iper.
Brake disc thickness,
