braking efficiency and under
certain circumstances they can
cause damage to the brake sys-

permit the brake pads to wear
past the minimum permissible
thickness.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Visually inspect the left and
right brake pads to ascertain
their thickness.
