Front Brake Caliper
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.
To
prevent paint damage,
do
not spill brake fluid
onto any area
of
the bodywork. Spilled brake fluid
will damage paintwork.
1.
Disconnect the brake hose at the caliper
and
place
the
free
end
of the hose
in
a suitable
container
to
collect any displaced brake fluid.
2.
Remove the brake pads
as
described
on
page
15.11.
3.
Remove the two caliper bolts.
4.
Manoeuvre the caliper clear of the disc, taking
care not to damage
the
wheel.

A dangerous riding condition leading
to
loss
of
motorcycle control
and
an
accident could occur if
this warning
is
ignored.
To
prevent injury, never place fingers or hands inside
the
caliper opening when removing
the

hand
and
face protection when

will result from direct contact with compressed air or
brake fluid.
1.
Cover the caliper opening with a clean, heavy
cloth and, using either compressed air blown into
the brake hose connection point, or
by
reconnecting the master cylinder
and
pumping
the
brake
lever,
remove
each
of
the
pistons, one
at a
time.
