1.
Remove the brake pad retaining pin after
2.
I
removing the 'R' clip from its inner end. Inspect
the pad retaining pin for damage.
2.
Remove the anti-rattle spring and inspect the
3.
spring for damage.
A
Caution
Lubricate the pad retaining pins using a minimum
amount of proprietary high temperature
'Copperslip' type grease.
Fit the anti-rattle spring over the pads and push
down in the centre to allow the pad retaining pin
to slide across the top of the spring.
Tighten the pad retaining pins to
19
Nm,
and
secure with the
'R'
clip.
Pump the brake lever to correctly position the
caliper pistons.
4.
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
soh material which will not cause damage to the
load bearing surfaces.
Brake fluid will be displaced as the caliper pistons
5.
are compressed. To prevent body damage, ensure
that the displaced fluid does not come into contact
with any part of the bodywork.
3.
Ease the brake pads apart to force the caliper
i
pistons back and allow withdrawal of the pads.
4.
Remove both brake pads and inspect for damage
and wear beyond the service limit.
Note:
Complete the assembly of the brake pads
to one caliper (see assembly for details)
before removing the pads from the other
caliper.
Installation
I
Never use mineral based grease in any part of the
I
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 an
accident.
1.
Fit new brake pads as an axle set or,
if
all the
pads are in a serviceable condition, clean the
pad grooves before refitting all pads in their
original positions.
Do not apply more than a minimum coating of
grease to the pad retaining pins. Excess grease may
contaminate the brake pads, hydraulic seals and
discs causing reduced braking efficiency and an
accident.
Use only D.O.T.
4
specification brake fluid as listed
in the general information section of this manual.
The use of brake fluids other than those D.O.T.
4
fluids listed in the general information section may
reduce the efficiency of the braking system leading
to an accident.
Observe the brake fluid handling warnings given
earlier in this section of the manual.
6.
Check the front brake fluid level and top up as
required with new DOT
4
fluid.
7.
Check for correct brake operation. Rectify as
necessary.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle with
defective brakes and you must have your authorised
Triumph dealer take remedial action before you ride
the motorcycle again. Failure to take remedial
'action may result in reduced braking efficiency
leading to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
