Brake pads must be inspected in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements and replaced if worn to, or
beyond the minimum service thickness.
If the lining thickness of any pad is less
than, 1.0 mm (0.04 in) (front) or 1.5 mm
(0.06 in) (rear), replace all the pads on
the wheel.
Brake pads for this model supplied by
Triumph will have the carrier plate at
least 4.5 mm thick. Always have
replacement brake pads supplied and
fitted by your Triumph dealer.

Breaking-in New Brake Pads and
Discs
New brake discs and pads require a
period of careful breaking-in that will
optimise the performance and longevity
of the discs and pads. The recommended
distance for breaking-in new pads and
discs is 200 miles (300 km).
During this period, avoid extreme
braking, ride with caution and allow for
greater braking distances.
If fitting new proprietary brand brake
pads, check that the carrier plate of
the brake pad is at least 4.5 mm thick.
Fitting brake pads with the carrier
plate less than 4.5 mm thick may
result in brake failure due to the
possible loss of the brake pad as it
wears.
