Checking the rear brake pads
The brake pads can be inspected from the rear. The thickness of the linings may not be less
than 1 mm (0.04 in).
AT THEIR MOST WORN POINT BRAKE PAD LININGS SHOULD NOT BE THINNER THAN 1 MM, OTH-
ERWISE THEY COULD LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY DON’T PUT OFF HAV-
ING YOUR BRAKE PADS CHANGED.
IF THE BRAKE PADS ARE REPLACED TOO LATE SO THAT THE LINING IS PARTLY OR ENTIRELY
WORN AWAY, THE STEEL COMPONENTS OF THE BRAKE PAD WILL RUB AGAINST THE BRAKE DISC,
IMPARING THE BRAKING EFFECT AND DESTROYING THE BRAKE DISC.
