Front Brake Pads
Removal
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle
is
stabilised and adequately supported. This will help
prevent it from falling and causing injury
to
the
operator or damage
to
the
motorcycle.

Brake
Pads
1.
Remove the brake
pad
retaining pin after
removing
and
discarding
its
split pin. Inspect the
retaining
pin
for damage.
2.
Remove
the
anti-rattle spring and inspect the
spring for damage.
In
the following operation, never lever directly
against the disc, caliper or the
pad
lining material
as
this will damage these components. Always use a
levering tool made from a soft material that will
not
cause damage
to
the load bearing surfaces.
Brake fluid will
be
displaced
as
the caliper pistons
are
compressed.
To
prevent paint damage, ensure
that the displaced fluid does not come into contact
with any part
of
the bodywork.
3.
Carefully push the brake pads apart
to
force the
caliper pistons back
and
allow withdrawal of
the
pads.
Brakes
4.
Remove
both
brake pads
and
inspect for damage
and
wear
beyond
the service limit.
Brake pad removal
Note:
• Complete the assembly
of
the brake pads
to
one caliper (see assembly
for
details)
before removing the pads from the other
caliper.
Installation
Never
use
mineral based grease
in
any part
of
the
braking system or
in
any area where contact with
the braking system
is
possible. Mineral based
grease will damage the hydraulic seals
in
the
calipers
and
master cylinders.
Damage caused
by
contact
with
mineral based
grease
may
reduce braking efficiency resulting
in
loss
of
motorcycle control
and
an
accident.
