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 0.06 in
(1.5 mm), 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 Discs and
Pads
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
Brake pad wear will be increased if
the motorcycle is used frequently off-
road. Always inspect the brake pads
more frequently if the motorcycle is
used off-road, and replace the brake
pads before they become worn to, or
beyond the minimum service thickness.
Riding with worn brake pads may
reduce braking efficiency, leading
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Triumph recommend a period of
careful breaking-in for new brake discs
and pads that, if followed correctly,
will optimize their performance and
longevity.
The recommended distance for
breaking-in new brake discs and pads is
200 miles (300 km).
